Long-Term & Monthly Car Rental in Cyprus

Our minimum is one day, so there is no cliff to fall off. A 12-day hire, a 40-day hire and a five-month hire are the same product from the same fleet, and you do not have to qualify for a category.

Here is the part most pages in this search leave out. We do not publish a monthly figure. Our rates move with the season and with how long you hire for, so one printed monthly number would be wrong for most windows, and we would rather price the dates you actually want than print a figure we have not committed to.

What we do instead is check your exact dates against our own price list and tell you what those days cost, before you send us anything. If you want the daily rates the whole fleet starts from, they are in the table below, and you can compare them with car hire across Cyprus.

Three things about those numbers. They move with the season as well as with the length, so the table is a dated reading rather than a quote. We publish no monthly rate, no weekly rate and no percentage saving, because none of those is a figure our price list holds; what it does hold, and what the left column now states, is the day rate at each length band. And the availability check reads the live rate for the dates you pick, which is the only number that describes your hire rather than an average of everyone's.

For context, these are other operators' published figures rather than ours:

• Hertz Cyprus publishes a 12-month monthly card from €14 a day (read 14 August 2026).
• Infinite Car Rentals publishes €480 to €550 for a first month on an economy car (read 14 August 2026).
• MAS Cars publishes €18 a day at 26 days or more (read 14 August 2026).
• Camel Drive publishes small cars from €400 a month, on a three-month minimum (read 14 August 2026).

Our own day rate on the Nissan March at 30 days or more is €17, against €65 for a single day, and the €17 lands close to where a competitor's economy month works out per day (our arithmetic on Infinite Car Rentals' published monthly figure, not a per-day rate they publish themselves).

We put that here rather than in the terms because a company listing five cities reads like a company you can drive across and drop off at the far end. Plenty of operators are exactly that. We are not, and the end of a month-long hire is the worst possible moment to discover it.

Within a city you have room to move: we can hand over at an office, at the airport in Paphos, or at an address you give us, and the return goes back to the same city rather than the same spot. If you want the Paphos detail, our Paphos page covers what a wrong-location return costs there.

Here too a competitor beats us. MAS Cars publishes a different-location return at €30 (read 14 August 2026). We do not do it at any price.

On the deposit, the rule and its condition travel together. With a valid credit card there is no cash deposit, subject to approval, vehicle category and rental conditions. Otherwise a refundable deposit or a pre-authorisation on the card may be held.

That is worth setting against what this market usually asks for. realcy.app puts the normal requirement at a credit card with €1,500 to €3,000 of available limit, with debit cards refused for the pre-authorisation (read 14 August 2026). The highest-ranking monthly rate card in this search, Hertz Cyprus, asks for three monthly rentals paid in advance as a guarantee, and keeps them if the hire ends before the 12 months are up. Camel Drive asks you to pay and sign the contract as step three of four. Infinite Car Rentals names a refundable deposit and publishes no figure for it. All read 14 August 2026.

And one operator has a cleaner answer than ours: MAS Cars publishes zero blocked on the card and no credit card required (read 14 August 2026). Ours is conditional. Theirs is not.

If you are searching for long-term car rental in Cyprus with no deposit, this is the honest version of that answer: often none with a credit card, sometimes a hold without one, and never a prepayment either way. Sending us a request costs nothing, holds nothing, and takes nothing from your card while you wait for our reply.

Read the waiver's exclusions before you decide about it, because they are the part that matters and they are not small print. The waiver covers eligible bodywork. It does not cover off-road use, tyres, glass, the underbody, the interior, or keys. Third-party liability is stated here as the cover included in our own rate, not as a summary of Cyprus insurance law.

One competitor here does better than us on this: MAS Cars publishes zero-excess options (read 14 August 2026). We do not offer one. Our answer is the €15 a day waiver that leaves €300.

Every long hire clears that line by definition. If you are hiring for a month, you are not being asked to qualify for anything, and there is no threshold to watch.

The mileage term is the one worth comparing. Two of the international operators ranking for this search cap a long hire at roughly 2,000 kilometres a month, and realcy.app puts the charge past the cap at €0.08 to €0.15 per kilometre (read 14 August 2026). Both ends of that are the narrow reading: rent-me.cy publishes €0.20 per kilometre over a 2,000 kilometre limit (read 10 April 2026), and a resident on the island reports a contract capped at 1,700 kilometres a month, discovered after signing. So read the mileage clause before you sign, whoever you hire from. On a month in Cyprus, driving from Paphos to Nicosia and back a few times will pass 2,000 kilometres without trying.

The airport meet-and-greet is a Paphos Airport benefit.

Two things we will not claim, because plenty of pages in this search do and we have not committed to either: maintenance and servicing included over a long contract, and a replacement vehicle if yours is off the road.

We hire to senior drivers, and the upper limit is 90 on the pick-up date. Drivers from 21 to 73 pay no surcharge; from 74 to 75 the rental line carries 15% more and from 76 to 90 it carries 30%, on the vehicle day-rate total only, not the waiver or a handover fee. Over 90 we cannot hire. The oldest named driver sets the band, so a 78-year-old second driver puts the whole hire in the 76-to-90 band. Confirmed with us on 2 September 2026.

On length: our minimum is one day and we publish no maximum. So the answer to "can I rent a car for 12 months" is that the hire runs for the window you ask for and we confirm it with you. Compare that with the minimums in this search, which run from 12 months at one international operator to three months at a Paphos operator, one month at another, and three days at a fourth.

If your stay runs past a few months, there are rules about how long you may keep driving on a licence from home and when Cyprus wants you to hold a local one. We do not summarise them here, because the Cyprus rule is not published in a form we are willing to quote, and a rental page is the wrong place to half-state a legal requirement. Our guide to driving in Cyprus, including what your licence has to be, is where we handle that, and it names its sources.

Two of those cities have an office you can walk into: Griva Digeni 55 in Chlorakas, which is our registered address, and Andrea Zaimi 11a in Limassol, which is a handover point rather than a second registered office. In Larnaca, Nicosia and Ayia Napa we bring the car to the address you give us, and there is no counter to come to. Delivery is free across the Paphos area and in Limassol. In the other three we have not set a delivery charge, so we agree it with you when we confirm the booking rather than printing a number we might not hold to.

Monthly rental in Nicosia works exactly like Paphos: the same nine cars, the same daily rates, the same five-day benefits. Limassol does not, and since 20 August 2026 that is a real difference rather than a wording one: the town has thirteen cars of its own and a rate that falls in four bands with the length of the hire, so a long hire there is priced from its own card and not from this one.

One limit applies wherever you collect the car. Taking it north of the Green Line needs our permission first, separate insurance for the northern part, and the right paperwork, and going over without our approval is an exclusion under our terms. Our driving guide covers what the crossing involves and cites its sources.

Our buggies and our scooter are hired in Paphos only, and they are not part of a long-term car hire.

Arriving at Larnaca Airport and heading for the Famagusta resorts? Our guide to getting from Larnaca Airport to Ayia Napa prices the fixed statutory taxi fare, both bus routes and a dated transfer quote for that leg, and says plainly that we deliver there rather than keeping a counter.

The availability check reads our own price list for the window you chose and prices it. It does not hold, reserve, book or confirm a car, and the screen after your signature says request, because that is what it is. Nothing is held until a person here confirms it with you.

We answer between 08:00 and 23:00, Cyprus time. A request sent before 20:00 gets an answer the same evening. Anything later gets one first thing the next morning. Cyprus time matters here: if you are reading this from the UK you are two hours behind us in August, and from Israel it is the same time as ours.

If you would rather talk it through, the phone is faster than any form, and a long hire usually has one question a form does not ask.
