Rent a Car in Downtown Bali

Bali is a picturesque fishing village on Crete's north coast, located approximately 35 km east of Rethymno and 55 km west of Heraklion. A rental company offers delivery directly to your hotel in the village, making it easy to pick up your car without having to go to a separate station. The service is perfect if you want to explore Crete's interior and coast on your own terms.

From Bali you'll reach the Venetian Rethymno in approximately 30 minutes' drive west along E75. The spectacular Mount Ida with Zeus Cave in the Psiloritis massif is approximately 60 km south. Bali's three natural coves – Livadi, Varkotopos and Karavostasi – are easy to reach on foot, but a car is needed to explore the surroundings.

Book the delivery service at least 24 hours in advance and specify the exact hotel name and address. Crete's roads south toward Sfakia and Anogia are winding – choose a car with good ground clearance. Gas stations in Bali are limited; fill up in Rethymno or Panormos 8 km east of the village.

Does the hotel delivery cost extra in Bali? Most rental companies charge a delivery fee that varies depending on time and location. Check the exact cost when booking.

Can I return the car at a different location than Bali? Yes, it's usually possible to return the car in, for example, Heraklion or Rethymno for an additional one-way fee. What is the nearest airport to Bali on Crete?
