Important Information when Visiting Cyprus

  • In Cyprus, people drive on the left side of the road just like in the United Kingdom. Pay attention when following this norm, especially when turning at intersections and overtaking.
  • Pay attention to traffic signals and respect the speed limits. The latter may vary according to the type of street and local conditions.
  • At the crosswalks, pedestrians have the right of way. Respect this norm and reduce your speed near crosswalks and pedestrian areas.
  • Use the headlights of the vehicle during the day in rural areas and when using tunnels. In addition, turn on the lights in conditions of little visibility, like when it rains.
  • In rural areas it is possible to encounter animals on the road. Reduce your speed and keep your attention on the road to avoid accidents.
  • Cyprus has panoramic routes and beautiful views. Enjoy the landscape, but be sure to focus on your driving and find safe places to stop and admire the view.
  • Keep a full tank of gas, especially if you are traveling to rural areas. Distances between service stations may be far between in some regions.
  • Use an updated navigational system or a map app to help you find your way. But keep in mind some rural roads may not be completed mapped out.
  • The charge for an additional driver will be 3,00 (three) euros a day.
  • The minimum age to rent a car is 21 years old, the maximum age is 70.
  • There is a 4,00 EUR charge per day, per person over 70 and for drivers between 21 and 24 years old.
  • Reservations must be canceled at least 24 hours before pick-up, through the same source where the reservation was made, or the client will be subject to a day’s rent.
  • All clients must pay for a tank of gas in Cyprus and take the vehicle with an empty tank.
  • Valid Driver’s License: You’ll need a driver’s license from your home country to drive in Cyprus, as well as your passport. Temporary driver’s licenses can be rejected and not accepted.
  • You’ll require a credit or debit card (with the main driver’s name) to make a rental deposit. Deposits may vary according to the vehicle and protection plan you choose. This deposit will be released once the car is returned, if the car is in the same condition as when it was picked up at the office, and this could take several days and up to a week to process.
  • Method of Payment: Credit/debit cards with the renter’s name (restrictions may apply).
  • Be sure to have all the necessary documents to enter Cyprus, including a valid passport, and if necessary, a visa. The regulations may change so verify the requirements before travel.
  • The climate in Cyprus is Mediterranean with warm, dry summers and soft, humid winters. Pack the right clothing for the climate, sunblock, and a hat. In the winter, it is possible you may need a light jacket.
  • Greek and Turkish are the official languages, but in tourist areas there are many people who speak English. Learning some basic Greek and Turkish phrases can be useful and appreciated by the locals.
  • The official currency is the euro (EUR). Be sure to have sufficient cash on you, as not every place accepts credit cards.
  • At restaurants it is common to leave a tip between 5 and 10%, if the service is not included in the bill. In addition, it is common to round the price of taxicabs and other services.
  • Be sure to have medical insurance for your trip. It is also recommended to consult with a health professional about vaccines or medical precautions needed before travel.
  • Explore the beautiful beaches, archeological sites, traditional towns, and mountains in Cyprus. Some places of interest include the ancient city of Paphos, the Kykkos Monastery, and the city of Limassol.
