Car rental in Cyprus
Tips for renting a car in Cyprus - A guide for tourists
When planning a car rental in Cyprus, it's worth familiarizing yourself with some important information that will make it easier for you to get around the island and ensure a hassle-free holiday.
The most important information
- Driving on the Left : Cyprus drives on the left, which may be unusual for Polish drivers. We recommend taking extra care at roundabouts and intersections.
- Driver's Documents and Age : You'll need a valid driver's license (Polish or international) to rent. The minimum age is usually 21, but some rental companies may require 25.
- Rental Amenities : When choosing a car, pay attention to additional options such as air conditioning or child seats, which are often offered free of charge by local rental companies.
- Insurance : Check the terms and conditions of your insurance – it typically covers basic damage, but it’s worth considering full insurance for added peace of mind.
Practical advice
- Roads and Parking : Cyprus has a well-developed road network, but parking can be limited in city centers. Use designated parking lots whenever possible.
- Refueling : In Cyprus, most gas stations are self-service. Be sure to know whether your car requires unleaded or diesel.
- Exploring the island : Renting a car is a great way to explore Cyprus—from the beaches of Larnaca to the Troodos Mountains. It's worth planning your route and avoiding unpaved roads, especially if your car isn't equipped for off-road driving.
- Returning the car : Before returning the car, make sure the fuel tank is at the correct level (as specified in the contract). Also, check that you haven't left any personal items behind.
