Hi ya
Firstly I have had a quick check through previous posts but can't find anything re car hire apart from one post which was not helpful. We are looking to hire a car from Heraklion Airport to Elounda in June and was wondering though I know there are hundreds of car hire companies in Crete, what is the one you would recommend that offers good quality cars and does not over charge.
Many thanks for any responses I may receive.

i am sure you will find one of them good enough, and if you want you can always shop around in the internet in order to find a company that would delive you a car in the airport regardless if they have a stand there or not
Why not book it before you go to Crete. The car will be waiting for you on arrival!!
Which ever you use if you pre book, you will find your car ready and waiting with one of their reps for collection at the Arrivals exit when you get there.

Thanks for advice, we have now booked our car only thing is can anyone advise where I can get good detailed directions from the airport to Elounda Village Hotel.
I've got three suggestions - hope they don't sound patronising!
1. Turn out of the airport on the motorway (dual carriageway!!) to Agios Nikolaos (sp?) which is about 2 hours drive away, then follow the signs for Elounda.
2. Contact your hotel and ask for driving instructions from Ag Nik (send them a pm or look on their website).
3. Go to http://viamichelin.co.uk .... which offers driving directions, and covers Greece as well as most of Europe.
Please be aware that the road surface can be rather slippery in rain (not a lot of traction), and that drivers of slower vehicles pull into the hard shoulder so that you can overtake them!!
Have a lovely time!
If you have children with you, you will got thru Hersonissos and see Starbeach on the left. Thats good for a daytrip. Make sure you visit Ag Nik, the beach at Vai etc.
A trip inland to the Lassithi plateu is also worth it.
Thanks for your replies, most helpful.
