How much car hire in Cyprus actually costs
One day in the Nissan March is 65 euro, and a one day hire runs from 65 to 160 euro depending on class. The rate falls in steps as the hire gets longer, reaching 17 euro a day on that same car from 30 days. Every figure below was confirmed on 26 August 2026.
| Class | One day | Longer hire, per day | Seats | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy city car | 65 euro | 17 euro from 30 days | 4 | Automatic |
| Compact hatchback | 70 euro | 40 euro from 7 days | 4 | Automatic |
| Hybrid hatchback or city car | 85 euro | 50 euro, 7 to 30 days | 4 | Automatic |
| MPV, 7 seats | 110 euro | 65 euro, 7 to 30 days | 7 | Automatic |
| SUV, 4WD | 160 euro | 75 euro, 7 to 30 days | not published | Automatic |
| Van, 8 seats | 120 euro | 75 euro, 7 to 30 days | 8 | Automatic |
These are starting rates. They move with the season and with how long you hire for, and none of them includes the optional Collision Damage Waiver. Hiring for a month or more sits on a different rate structure, so we quote those separately: our long-term and monthly page sets out what we publish, what we do not, and how to price your exact dates.
Where every figure here comes from, how often we go back to it, and what the date beside a price does and does not mean: how we verify prices.
If you have been quoted a lower number than any of these, what that figure usually leaves out is set out on our page on what the low Paphos day rates exclude.
For context
Comparison sites publish Cyprus day rates that look lower than these, and the reasons are consistent: a different rental length behind the figure, and no excess stated next to it.
Ten published Cyprus figures, read on one day and set against what each one leaves out: why every comparison site quotes a different Cyprus price.
Our fleet is one of many. The Republic had 30,444 licensed rental cars in 2025, and the government series behind that figure is set out in our census of the Cyprus rental fleet.

One day rates confirmed 26 August 2026, with each card's longer-hire rate under it, and excluding the optional Collision Damage Waiver. Photographs show the class, not the exact car you will be given, and sending a request does not hold a vehicle until we confirm it.
What is included and what costs extra
Third-party liability insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance and delivery across the Paphos area are in the rate. Four more items become free once your rental reaches five days.
Read the mileage row twice, because it is where our wording differs from the market. Unlimited mileage applies to daily rentals of five days or more, subject to rental terms. Shorter rentals can carry a cap. Most operators print unlimited mileage flat and leave you to find the condition in the agreement.
Our own terms, confirmed 3 August 2026. Minimum hire for a car is one day, meaning 24 hours.

The excess and the deposit, in plain numbers
The excess is the part of a damage bill you pay yourself before the waiver takes over. On our cars the Collision Damage Waiver is optional at 15 euro a day, and when you take it the excess is 300 euro on eligible bodywork. It does not cover off-road use, tyres, glass, the underbody, the interior or the keys.
The deposit works differently from the excess, and the two get confused constantly.
| Item | Ours | Cyprus market, published terms checked 3 August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Standard excess | 300 euro, flat, all car classes | 300 to 5,000 euro by operator and car group |
| Under-25 or over-75 drivers | ask us: our published terms state one excess figure for all car classes | some operators double the excess |
| Cash deposit | none with a valid credit card | commonly the excess amount, held for weeks |
| Prepayment | none, you pay on pick-up | usually prepaid at booking |
With a valid credit card you can hire from us without leaving a cash deposit, subject to approval, vehicle category and rental conditions. Where those conditions are not met, a refundable deposit or a card pre-authorisation may be held instead.
The 300 to 5,000 euro range above comes from operators trading island-wide. Town-level terms are a different market: in Paphos itself several companies advertise a zero-excess insurance product, so our 300 euro is not the lowest figure a Paphos searcher will see.
Whether to buy separate excess cover from a third party is a different question, and our car hire excess insurance guide answers it, including where buying from someone else beats buying from us.
For the town-by-town picture, our Paphos car hire page sets our rates and our excess against what that town actually advertises, including the four terms where local companies beat us.
What the waiver actually pays for, what it leaves you liable for, and whether a separate excess policy is worth buying are set out in full in our guide to car hire excess in Cyprus.
This is general information, not legal or financial advice. Rental terms, excess and deposits change, so confirm with us before you book.
Who can hire: age, licence and how long you have held it
Cars are for drivers aged 21 and over who have held a licence for at least two years. Bring the original licence, not a photocopy.
Cars
Minimum age 21, licence held at least two years.
Scooters and buggies
We may accept riders from 18, depending on licence category, driving experience and insurance conditions. Ask us before you book rather than assuming.
Senior drivers, to 90
No surcharge to 73, then 15% on the rental line from 74 to 75 and 30% from 76 to 90. Over 90 we cannot hire. Confirmed 2 September 2026.
Licence category
The correct category is required for scooters and motorcycles.
Kayak's Cyprus page, read on 3 August 2026, states that the maximum age for renting a car in Cyprus is 75. That reflects the suppliers on its platform rather than a rule of the country, so it is worth a phone call before you accept it. EasyTerra's booking form, read the same day, only offers driver ages from 30 to 65.
On licences, two sources are worth reading before you fly. EU driving licences valid for life are recognised across the EU, so an EU licence works here. The UK Foreign Office confirms a UK photocard licence can be used to drive in Cyprus, and notes that an older UK paper licence may need a photocard upgrade or an International Driving Permit.
Statutory licence categories and road rules are not our claim to make on a rental page. They belong in our driving in Cyprus guide, with the two-source treatment they need.
This is general information, not legal or financial advice. Rental terms, excess and deposits change, so confirm with us before you book.
Where we operate today, and where we do not yet
We hand keys over at five named points in two towns: our Chlorakas office at Griva Digeni 55, Paphos Airport, Coral Bay and Kato Paphos, plus our Limassol office at Andrea Zaimi 11a. Delivery to hotels and villas is free in both, at any rental length. In Larnaca, Nicosia and Ayia Napa we hire cars by delivery to the address you give us.
Since August 2026 we hire cars in all five cities: Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca, Nicosia and Ayia Napa. Cars, and that qualifier is the important part: buggies and scooters stay in Paphos, because that is where those machines are. Limassol is also the one city with a fleet and a price list of its own, so the rates on this page are the Paphos rates and the Limassol page carries its own. In Larnaca, Nicosia and Ayia Napa the handover is a delivery to the address you give us, since we hold no counter in any of the three, and Paphos Airport is the only airport we meet you at. Polis, Latchi and Pissouri are still outside what we cover. Two more things worth knowing before you plan around us. Pick-up and drop-off are in the same city, so we do not run one-way rentals between any two of the five, and returning a car to the wrong location is charged from 300 euro. And a handover point appears in the list below once it is real, not before.

Each of the four Paphos points is described in full, with the delivery economics and the roads out of the town, on our Paphos car hire page.
The Limassol office, the three ways we hand a car over there and the same-town return rule are on our Limassol car rental page.
Coral Bay is the one handover point with enough search demand of its own to carry a page, so the rates, the excess and what free delivery covers up that coast are on our Coral Bay car hire page.
Paphos Airport is the one handover point we meet you at rather than deliver to, so how the meet and greet works, what happens after a delayed flight and where to walk are on our Paphos Airport car hire page.
If your trip is in a town we do not reach, ask any Cyprus rental company these seven questions in writing before you pay
- 01.What is the excess figure, in euro, on the exact car class you are booking?
- 02.Is that excess also held as your deposit, and for how long after you return the car?
- 03.Is mileage genuinely unlimited, or is there a daily cap and a per-kilometre charge above it?
- 04.What is the fuel policy, and what is the refuelling fee if you return the car short?
- 05.What are the age rules at both ends, and does the excess change for your age?
- 06.Are unsealed roads and off-road tracks excluded, and what is the penalty?
- 07.What does a late return cost per hour, and what does returning to a different location cost?
Every answer above is published on this page for our own cars. Of the operator and comparison pages we were able to read for this search on 3 August 2026, none published a daily rate and an excess figure together on the same page with the date it was checked. Our how-to-choose-a-car-rental guide will expand the checklist once it is written.
The cars we have and what each one costs
Nine cars, hybrids and vans are on our Paphos price list, out of a fleet of more than 40 vehicles. Every one of them is automatic. Limassol has thirteen cars of its own on a separate card, priced by the length of the hire, and the figures below do not apply there.
| Vehicle | Class | Seats | One day | Longer hire, per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan March | Economy city car | 4 | 65 euro | 17 euro from 30 days |
| Mitsubishi Mirage | Economy city car | 4 | 65 euro | 25 euro from 30 days |
| Nissan Note | Compact hatchback | 4 | 70 euro | 40 euro from 7 days |
| Nissan Note e-Power | Hybrid hatchback | 4 | 85 euro | 50 euro, 7 to 30 days |
| Toyota Vitz Hybrid | Hybrid city car | 4 | 85 euro | 50 euro, 7 to 30 days |
| Honda Fit Hybrid | Hybrid hatchback | 4 | 95 euro | 55 euro, 7 to 30 days |
| Toyota Sienta Hybrid | MPV, class I | 7 | 110 euro | 65 euro, 7 to 30 days |
| Nissan X-Trail 2021 | SUV 4WD, class G | not published | 160 euro | 75 euro, 7 to 30 days |
| Nissan Serena | Van, class I | 8 | 120 euro | 75 euro, 7 to 30 days |
Automatic transmission is standard here rather than an upgrade, which is worth knowing if you have been quoted a surcharge for one elsewhere. We do not publish a seat count for the X-Trail, because ours is not confirmed in writing. Vehicle photographs show the class rather than the exact car you will be given.
We also hire two off-road buggies and a 125cc scooter, and neither is part of the car rates above. The scooter rates are still in research.
The two rows above that seat seven and eight are the whole of what we hire at that size, and what a group actually fits in them is set out on our seven- and eight-seat hire page.
What those two machines cost, where they are allowed to go and which licence they need is on our buggy hire pages.
Collecting the car at the airport
Five companies hold desks inside the terminals at Paphos and Larnaca: Avis and Budget, Hertz, Europcar, SIXT, and Petsas with Astra. The airport operator, Hermes Airports, lists them in Arrivals after Baggage Reclaim.
We are not one of the five, and it is better to say that plainly than to imply a counter we do not have. Larnaca Airport is the highest-value car hire term in this market and we do not hand over there. We do hire cars in Larnaca, by delivery to an address you give us, and Paphos Airport is the only airport where we meet you off a flight.
How our own Paphos Airport handover works, and which desk sits where inside that terminal, is on our Paphos Airport car hire page.
Booking direct with us versus a comparison site
Neither route wins on everything, so here is the honest split. We make our money from hiring out our own vehicles, which means there is no commission, no affiliate link and no third party in the transaction on this page.
| Direct with us | Comparison site | At the desk on arrival | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | 65 euro for a day and 17 from 30 days, dated, first-party | Aggregate estimates, no observation date | Walk-up rate, usually the highest |
| Excess | 300 euro, known before you book | Supplier-dependent, 300 to 5,000 euro | Learned at signing |
| Deposit | none with a valid credit card | often the excess, held for weeks | card pre-authorisation |
| Prepayment | none | usually prepaid | none |
| Age edge cases | assessed by a person on the phone | filtered out by a form | assessed at the counter |
| Island coverage | cars in five cities | the whole island | wherever you landed |
| Multi-supplier comparison | no | yes | no |
Two rows go to the comparison sites, and they matter. Their coverage is wider than ours in the two ways that decide a trip: they sell an in-terminal desk at Larnaca Airport, where we hand over nothing, and they sell one-way, so a Larnaca arrival dropping the car in Ayia Napa can be booked through them and cannot be booked through us at all. They also compare many suppliers at once, which is real work that we do not do for you.
What direct booking gets you is one excess figure known before the car is reserved, no prepayment, no cash deposit with a valid credit card, and a person who can assess an edge case. That last one is concrete: a 21-year-old with two years on their licence, or an 84-year-old with fifty, is a phone call for us and a rejected form field on a booking platform.
The rules that catch people out
Four things account for most of the trouble on a Cyprus rental, and all four are avoidable.
Insurance stops at the Green Line
The UK Foreign Office states that cars hired in the Republic of Cyprus often have no insurance cover in the north, and that separate cover can be bought at crossing points including Agios Dometios. Under our own terms you may take one of our cars north of the Green Line only with our prior permission, separate insurance for the northern part, and the required documentation. Without that approval, crossing is an exclusion. Our driving in Cyprus guide will carry the full treatment.
Never hand your passport over as a deposit
The UK Foreign Office warns against it on the same page and states that it is illegal in Cyprus. No rental company needs to hold your passport, and we do not ask for it.
Our cars are for asphalt only
Off-road use is charged at 450 to 600 euro per violation depending on the vehicle class, plus 20 to 30 euro for every started kilometre off the asphalt. If the surface runs out you have 15 metres to turn around. A four-wheel-drive badge does not change that contract. If your plan involves unsealed tracks, hire a buggy rather than risking a car.
Late and wrong-location returns are priced
A late return costs 100 euro plus 20 euro for each started hour. Returning the car to a location other than the agreed one is charged from 300 euro. Traffic fines issued during your rental are yours.
This is general information, not legal or financial advice. Rental terms, excess and deposits change, so confirm with us before you book. Last verified: 3 August 2026.
When to book, and when prices move
July and August are the busiest weeks of the year here, and automatics go first. Two or three weeks ahead gets you the class you wanted rather than what is left on the yard. November and December are the quietest months. Across Cyprus as a whole, January is when most summer trips get planned, though the pattern differs by town.
Our own booking pattern and our own rate card, read on 3 August 2026.
Calling us in December or January for an August rental is early rather than odd, and it is the surest way to get an automatic 7-seater in high season. If your dates are in April or May, the Akamas buggy season starts before the beach season does, so those two months book earlier than their weather suggests.
Our own rates vary by season and by rental length. We do not publish a month-by-month grid, because we have not committed to one in writing, and inventing one would make this page worse. Ask for your dates and we quote the real figure.

Frequently asked questions
Cost, excess, deposit, age, the Green Line and licences, answered from our own terms and from primary sources.
One day in the Nissan March is 65 euro, with a one day hire running from 65 to 160 euro by class, confirmed on 26 August 2026. The rate falls as the hire gets longer, to 17 euro a day on that car from 30 days. Rates vary with the season and the length of the rental, and they exclude the optional Collision Damage Waiver.
Ours is 300 euro on eligible bodywork, with off-road use, tyres, glass, the underbody, the interior and the keys excluded. Across published Cyprus operator terms checked on 3 August 2026, standard excess runs from 300 to 5,000 euro depending on the operator and the car group.
Not in cash, if you hold a valid credit card, and subject to approval, vehicle category and rental conditions. Where those conditions are not met, a refundable deposit or a card pre-authorisation may be held instead. There is no prepayment at any point: you pay on pick-up, in cash or by card.
With us, 21 for a car, with a licence held at least two years and the original document in hand. Scooters and buggies may be accepted from 18, depending on licence category, driving experience and insurance conditions. Other operators in Cyprus set 25 as their car minimum, so the answer genuinely varies by company.
Yes, and with us it is 90 on the pick-up date. There is no surcharge to 73, then 15% on the rental line from 74 to 75 and 30% from 76 to 90, and over 90 we cannot hire. Comparison sites commonly state a maximum age of 75 for Cyprus, which reflects their supplier list rather than any national rule. Our band was confirmed on 2 September 2026.
Only with our prior permission, separate insurance for the northern part, and the required documentation. The UK Foreign Office notes that cars hired in the Republic often carry no cover north of the Green Line, and that separate cover is sold at crossing points including Agios Dometios.
An EU licence valid for life is recognised across the EU, and a UK photocard licence can be used in Cyprus. An older UK paper licence may need a photocard upgrade or an International Driving Permit, so check the Foreign Office advice for your own document before you travel.
