KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Agios Nikolaos
- By opting for car hire in Agios Nikolaos, you won't be reliant on public transport routes and schedules. You'll have the flexibility to drive anywhere you like and plan your travel itinerary with complete freedom. You can drive to smaller towns to explore traditional Cretan culture, like Kritsa, and stop off at the 13th-century Panagia Kera church, with its original Byzantine frescoes.
- Heraklion International Airport "Nikos Kazantzakis" (HER) is Crete's main airport, making it the most convenient place for tourists to get car hire in Agios Nikolaos. Roughly half a dozen of the world's most popular car hire brands have kiosks at the airport. You'll find them in the main Arrivals hall once you've collected your luggage and passed through Customs. Their signage is very easy to spot from there. Once you're all sorted, it's about a 50-minute drive to Agios Nikolaos.
- The first thing you'll have to adjust to if you've opted for car hire in Agios Nikolaos is that you'll drive on the right-hand side, rather than on the left as in the UK. It's not difficult, but be careful not to fall into old habits, especially which way to yield at intersections. Another peculiarity of driving in Agios Nikolaos is the large number of mopeds that you'll encounter on its roads. Even though you drive on the right and pass on the left, mopeds usually prefer to pass on the right, no matter how much space there is. Stay very alert for this.
- The roads in and around Agios Nikolaos are in various states of repair, so always expect the unexpected. A well-surfaced tarred road can suddenly give way to gravel. The local drivers can also be somewhat impatient, and it's conventional to move to the hard shoulder to allow faster vehicles to pass. Be very careful when doing so, however, as these shoulders can also come to an abrupt end. Also beware of the many pedestrians in the town.
- Book your rental car in Agios Nikolaos at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Agios Nikolaos are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average
