Car Rental in Cyprus

Traffic drives on the left, overtaking is on the right. Roundabouts are clockwise. Speed limits are strictly 50 km/h in towns, 80 km/h on regional roads, and 100 km/h on motorways.

Minimum driver age is typically 21 (often 25 for larger SUVs or luxury cars). Standard valid national driving licences from EU, UK, US, and Switzerland are accepted without an IDP.

Basic third-party liability is mandatory. Consider CDW with zero excess to avoid paying out-of-pocket for glass, tyres, or underbody damage common on rural island roads.

Most South Cyprus rental contracts do not provide valid insurance or breakdown rescue in Northern Cyprus. Mandatory separate third-party cover must be bought at crossing checkpoints (€25–35).
