NYTA provided a great rundown, and just for people checking this thread out in the future, thought I'd add that:
Eldan has one branch in the city of Eilat. Sixt (generally NOT recommended) has two Eilat branches, one in the city and one at the new Ramon airport.
Arkia strangely doesn't list their fees in any clear manner on their site. Israir claims that a full price ticket (NIS 377 Eilat-Tel Aviv), you can change/cancel up to 2 hours before the flight for no fee.
For a discounted ticket, up to 1 week before, the fee is NIS 35. From 1 week until 2 hours, it's NIS 60.
Less than 2 hours before, no refund.
And in all cases, on top of fee, you must pay the difference in fare (only applies in discounted tickets, not full price).
I find both Israir and Arkia airpot agents to be extremely flexible, both with changing to an earlier flight and with not charging for extra weight, though I only have about 3 or 4 data points from the last 6 years
