CAR
HIRE
Renting a car is relatively easy, just make sure you take your driving
license with you ! In Cyprus everyone drives on the left (same as
the UK)
To get to see
the beautiful scenery, get to travel to beaches in Protaras, and
see the history of Cyprus, then a car rental is recommended.
Car rental prices start from around £15 (cyp) per day for
an economy vehicle to anything around £40 (cyp) for a luxury
large 4 wheel drive Jeep vehicle. All in all vehicles are reasonably
priced, it's just availability that will be the issue, so you need
to pre book your car if you are going in the peak season being July
and August. The longer you book your car rental the cheaper the
daily rate. You will usually gain a discount on the daily rate for
any rental period of more than 5 days.
All rental cars are known as Z cars because all the rental cars
have a Z number plate which is in a destinctive red colour. This
tells all the locals that you are a tourist. In a way this works
to your advantage telling them that you are on holiday and not in
such a rush when traveling around.
On the other hand be aware of the driving habits of the locals who
can go to take over without much notice and then decide to slow
down straight away ! ..... don't ask, it's a cypriot thing !
Full third party insurance is provided with every car by law. However,
it is recommended that you take out further Collision Damage Waiver
(C.D.W) which will cost you in the region of £3 - £7
per day. Check the small print for the value of the excess and note
the parts of the car not covered by the insurance.
You can instantly
run a search using the car search section through expedia. Select
the car link and enter your details. Enter Cyprus as your location.
The nearest airport for Ayia Napa is "Larnaca". You can
choose to pick up at the airport or Ayia Napa.
