Cheap Car Hire in Cyprus from £9

There are several rules that you will need to follow if you want to use a hired car in Cyprus. You need to be at least 21 years of age, and you need to hold a permanent and not temporary driving licence, and you need to have had it for at least one year. Young drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 are also subject to additional fees depending on the type of vehicle they choose to hire. If your driving licence does not contain information in English, you need to provide car hire companies in Cyprus with an International Driving Permit which you have acquired prior to your arrival. You also need to make sure you have an additional form of identification on you for security purposes.

An important thing to note about Cypriot driving rules is that they drive on the left-hand side of the road and overtake on the right, just like the UK and unlike the rest of Europe. You need to be extra careful with car hires in Cyprus when you are behind the steering wheel – which is located on the right side. The general speed limits in Cyprus are 50km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on open roads and 100km/h on highways. These rules do change if there are unusual weather conditions, and you should also keep an eye on road signs as some rules may vary depending on the area you are travelling within. You must wear a seatbelt if you are a driver or passenger in any type of vehicle and there are hefty fines if you decide to do otherwise. It is also illegal to drive if your blood alcohol level is above 0.05% - so leave the cheap car hire in Cyprus to the friend who doesn’t drink! You should still check with each city's department of motor vehicles for recent law changes before your arrival in Cyprus.

The type of car you choose for your time in Cyprus depends on the activities you have planned. Hired cars in Cyprus can be luxury, compact, SUVs, vans and many more. If you are planning a romantic getaway, a luxury car hire in Cyprus will be an unforgettable experience for you and your travel companion. For bigger groups, passenger van hire makes for a fun and convenient way to get around and explore the sights. If you are only looking to stay in the city and not travel far, electric car hire is probably what you should be looking at.
