Waar een auto te huren in Cyprus
Cyprus is een eiland met een rijke geschiedenis en cultuur, en er is geen betere manier om het te verkennen dan met de auto. Rijd naar iconische archeologische vindplaatsen zoals Paphos, naar verluidt de geboorteplaats van de godin Aphrodite, of ontspan op de ongerepte stranden van Ayia Napa.
Pick up at the airport, in the city, or at your hotel

Northern Cyprus: separate rules, separate insurance
The border between the Republic of Cyprus and the northern (Turkish) part of the island is real, and not every supplier allows you to cross it in their car. Most companies forbid the trip outright: insurance taken out on the southern side does not work in the north. A few suppliers on Cyprus do allow the crossing, but it always needs to be agreed before booking, when picking the car. At the Agios Dometios (Metehan) checkpoint near Nicosia, you buy a separate Turkish third-party policy at the kiosk — it is cheap, but you will not be allowed in without it. It happens that a renter books with a supplier who does not allow Northern Cyprus, and ends up turned back at the border. Crossing rules need confirming before you sign the contract — not the day before the trip.

No-deposit cars are a real option
A portion of our partners on Cyprus offer cars with no deposit at all. There is a filter on the site that narrows the listing to those cars only. It removes the most common worry travellers have — the chance of being charged for something at drop-off they did not expect.

Met at the gate, no shuttle bus
At Larnaca and Paphos, your supplier meets you straight at arrivals with a flight-number sign. There is no rental desk to find, no shuttle bus to wait for and no queue. By the time other tourists are still being driven to the rental lot, you have signed the contract and you are on the road.

Most European licences need no IDP
EU, EFTA, UK and Swiss licences are accepted on the plastic card alone — no International Driving Permit required. Licences from outside this group are accepted as long as they include Latin script. An IDP is needed only if your card is in a non-Latin alphabet, like Arabic, Chinese or Japanese.

Speed limits are 50 km/h in town, 80 km/h on rural roads and 100 km/h on the A1 to A9 motorways. There is a detail that catches plenty of drivers: the motorways also have a minimum speed of 65 km/h. Cameras and average-speed sections are common on the A1, and penalty points are added to the licence automatically.
Cyprus motorways flip the usual idea on its head — driving too slowly on a motorway is also a fine. The minimum is 65 km/h, and you pay around two euros per kilometre below that, plus a penalty point. Few drivers expect a minimum speed in southern Europe.
The drink-drive limit is 0.05 percent BAC for experienced drivers, dropping to 0.02 percent for anyone with less than three years of licence. Police officers do not collect cash on the spot — handing over money is treated as a bribe. Fines are paid online at jccsmart.com or at any bank, within fifteen to thirty days. Miss the deadline and the fine grows by 50 percent, plus the supplier may add an admin fee on top.
Parking and the everyday fines
Paid parking applies in the blue zones of tourist centres — pay at the meter, by card or through the easyPark app. A single yellow line means no parking; double yellow means no stopping at all. Fines hover around 85 euros. Cyprus also fines specifically for smoking in a car with a passenger under sixteen, for holding a phone while driving and, surprising to most visitors, for eating or drinking at the wheel.
Double yellow lines are not a suggestion. Tow trucks in Limassol and Nicosia move quickly, and on top of the fine you pay the towing and storage costs. It is far cheaper to drive on and find a different spot.
The pace of Cyprus, and a word on routes
Cyprus rewards a slower tempo. If you drive at the speed of a city commute, the island does not really open up. Locals are usually happy to point you in the right direction — they will tell you which bakery opens at six and which mountain track leads to a quiet beach. Our blog has the routes that work in practice, and they come in handy when planning the trip.
