Cyprus Car Rental FAQs

What documents do I need to rent a car in Cyprus as a foreign traveler?

You’ll need a valid driver’s license from your home country to rent a car in Cyprus. If your license is not in the Roman alphabet (e.g., Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required. Additionally, you must present a valid passport and a credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit. Some rental agencies may accept debit cards, but this varies, so it's best to confirm beforehand. Having these documents ready will ensure a smooth rental process.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Cyprus?

The minimum age to rent a car in Cyprus is typically 21 years. However, drivers under 25 may be subject to a young driver surcharge. Most rental companies require that you have held your driver's license for at least three years. Some agencies may have a maximum age limit, often around 75 years, and may require a medical certificate for older drivers. Always check the specific age requirements and surcharges with your chosen rental company.

Do I need additional insurance when renting a car in Cyprus?

Basic insurance, including Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and third-party liability, is usually included in the rental price. However, this often comes with a high excess amount, meaning you could be liable for a significant sum in case of damage. To reduce this liability, you can opt for additional coverage like Super CDW or Premium CDW, which lowers the excess. Some credit cards offer rental insurance benefits, but these may not cover all situations, especially in foreign countries. Review your existing insurance policies and consider purchasing additional coverage for peace of mind.

Can I drive my rental car into Northern Cyprus?

Most rental agreements in Cyprus prohibit driving into Northern Cyprus. If you cross into the north, your rental insurance becomes void, and you would be personally liable for any damages or incidents. While third-party insurance can be purchased at the border, it only covers damages to others, not your rental vehicle. Additionally, roadside assistance from your rental company will not be available in Northern Cyprus. It's strongly recommended that you avoid crossing the border with a rental car.

What are the driving rules I should be aware of in Cyprus?

In Cyprus, driving is on the left-hand side of the road. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers. Children under five years old are not allowed in the front seat, and appropriate child restraints are required for young passengers. The use of mobile phones while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free system. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05%, but it's safest to avoid alcohol entirely when driving. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on rural roads, and 100 km/h on highways. Always adhere to posted signs, as limits can vary.

Are child safety seats mandatory in Cyprus?

Yes, child safety seats are mandatory in Cyprus. Children under five years old must be seated in the rear with an appropriate child restraint system. Children aged five to ten can only sit in the front seat if they use a suitable child restraint. Requesting a child seat when booking your rental car is advisable, as availability may be limited. Ensuring that proper child restraints comply with the law and enhance safety for young passengers.

How do fuel stations operate in Cyprus?

Fuel stations in Cyprus are widely available in urban areas but may be scarce in rural regions. Most stations are full-service during the day, with attendants to assist you. After hours, many stations offer self-service options with automated payment systems. Carrying cash is a good idea, as some rural stations may not accept cards. Planning your refueling stops, especially when traveling to remote areas, can help avoid inconvenience.

What are the parking rules in Cyprus?

Parking regulations in Cyprus vary by location. In city centers like Nicosia and Limassol, you'll find designated parking areas, often marked with blue lines indicating paid parking zones. Parking meters are common, and you must display a valid ticket. Avoid parking on double yellow lines, as this indicates no parking at any time. Some hotels offer private parking for guests, and rates can range from €2 to €10 per day. Always check for signage to ensure you're parking legally.

Is GPS navigation necessary for driving in Cyprus?

While Cyprus has a well-maintained road network with clear signage, having a GPS or a reliable navigation app can be beneficial, especially when exploring rural areas or less-traveled routes. Some rental companies offer GPS devices for an additional fee, but using your smartphone with a local SIM card or offline maps can be a cost-effective alternative. Reliable navigation helps you reach destinations like the Troodos Mountains or secluded beaches without hassle.

Are there toll roads in Cyprus?

No, there are no toll roads in Cyprus. You can drive across the island without any toll charges, making it convenient for travelers to explore various regions without additional costs. However, always adhere to local traffic laws and speed limits to ensure a safe journey.

What should I do in case of an accident or breakdown?

If an accident or breakdown occurs, contact your rental company's emergency number immediately. You can also dial 112 for emergency services, connecting you to police, ambulance, and fire services. It's essential to have these numbers handy during your trip. If you're involved in an accident, do not move the vehicle until the police arrive, unless it's necessary for safety. Document the scene with photos and gather information from other parties involved.

When is the best time to rent a car in Cyprus?

The best time to rent a car in Cyprus depends on your travel preferences. The peak tourist season is from June to August, with warm weather and bustling beaches, but rental prices are higher, and availability may be limited. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer milder temperatures, fewer crowds, and more affordable rental rates. Winter months (December to February) are the least busy, with the lowest prices, but some attractions may have reduced hours. Booking your rental car in advance, regardless of the season, ensures better rates and vehicle selection.

Can I rent a car at the airports in Cyprus?

Finalrentals provides car rentals at major airports in Cyprus, such as Larnaca International Airport and Paphos International Airport. Renting a car directly at the airport offers convenience, allowing you to start your journey immediately upon arrival. However, booking your rental car online in advance can often secure better rates and ensure the availability of your preferred vehicle.
