Car hire in Cyprus

While Cyprus sun-worshippers congregate on beaches such as Phinikoudes, not far away are the ancient and 21st century monuments to traditional religious buildings frequented by history buffs. Cyprus is said to be the birthplace of the god Aphrodite, and appropriately, it appears to have been blessed with both beauty and immortality. Car rental in Cyprus is the most convenient way to explore all of its delights.

Major airports and ports

Commercial flights from the UK and Europe arrive at Larnaca, Ercan (Nicosia) or Paphos international airports, the main gateways to the country. The largest ferry port is at Limassol towards the south end of Cyprus, while Larnaca Port, a major hub for industry and tourism, lies to the southeast.

Transport

Car hire in Cyprus is practically a necessity due to limited public transport options on the island. Public buses run urban and rural routes, but schedules finish early and buses rarely operate on weekends. Taxi services also run on urban or rural routes but do not have set fares. There is no rail system around the country, so tourists should compare cheap car hire prices well in advance to get the best rates. Cyprus car hire depots are located in all large towns and cities on the island, pre-book car hire here and you will have a larger selection of cars to choose from and you will also save money. Prices can be considerably higher at airports or local depots.

Driving tips

Holders of EU driving licences or international permits are allowed to hire cars in Cyprus as long as they are at least 25 years old. Drivers should acquaint themselves with other driving laws, look out for road signs and be extra cautious in town centres.

Places to visit

Sand and sea worshippers should drive to any of the numberless beaches along the expansive eastern Cyprus coastline, where they will find many radiant resorts. The languid waters of the western coast offer quiet, secluded areas for more private visitors. Those who seek culture, history or a taste of the divine can follow a host of religious routes that trace medieval paths to churches, monasteries and ruins.
