  • An Evident Uptick Over Time: It is evident from the statistics that people have been making reservations for their Heraklion Port car rentals with longer lead periods over time. There has been a noticeable increase in advance booking periods compared to previous years, especially in the most recent years of 2022 and 2023. The pattern reflects changes in booking patterns or increased demand from outside sources like the worldwide pandemic.
  • Strategic Planning for Peak Seasons: It is advised that travellers who are thinking about visiting during the busy summer months, which are June, July, and August, book their Heraklion Port car rentals well in advance. The statistics show that these months have some of the longest lead times for bookings, which is probably due to increased visitor traffic.

It implies that there are more options and flexibility for last-minute reservations during certain times. However, it is always advisable to make reservations as far in advance as feasible to secure the desired vehicle type and potentially more affordable rates.
