Car rental in Larnaca, Cyprus: what to know
Airport car rental in Larnaca
Cyprus airports hand cars over at in-terminal desks, at nearby off-airport offices reached by shuttle, or through a meet-and-greet agent in arrivals. The voucher states which of the three applies to your booking.
For night landings, confirm the desk opening hours, whether the supplier tracks the flight number, any out-of-hours handover fee and how the car is returned when the office is closed.
Car rental conditions
Bring your passport and a valid driving licence. Licences issued in the EU and the UK are accepted directly; for other countries an International Driving Permit may be requested, so confirm the requirement with the supplier before pickup.
The minimum age is usually 21, and most suppliers ask for at least one to three years of driving experience. Premium, SUV and minivan classes often set a higher age threshold, and a young-driver surcharge may apply.
A deposit is standard and is normally blocked on the driver’s card. Some Cyprus suppliers work without a deposit, accept debit cards or take cash, but those terms are listed on the individual offer rather than applied island-wide.
Check the insurance scope, the excess amount and the exclusions such as tyres, glass, undercarriage and unsurfaced roads. After an accident call the emergency number 112, wait for the police where required and notify the rental company immediately.
Car brands and categories
The catalog covers the main rental categories:
- Economy
- Comfort
- SUV
- Minivan
- Premium
- Convertible
- Electric
- Hybrid
Cyprus fleets are built mostly around Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki, Ford, Opel, Volkswagen, Škoda, Mercedes-Benz and similar models, with right-hand-drive versions widely used.
Compare the total price together with the deposit, insurance excess, mileage policy, fuel rule, accepted payment methods and the return conditions.
Airport pickup details
Have the passport, driving licence, booking voucher and the deposit card of the main driver ready before you reach the counter, and photograph the bodywork, glass and tyres during the joint inspection.
On the way back allow time for refuelling near the airport, the return inspection and the walk from the drop-off bay to the terminal.
Rental with a Russian licence
A Russian licence alone does not guarantee a car in Cyprus: the supplier has to accept the document, and the driver must meet the requirements in force on the travel dates.
Ask in writing whether an International Driving Permit or a certified translation is needed, carry the originals, and keep the confirmation until the car is handed over.
Car rental essentials in Cyprus
Practical points on traffic, documents, payment, insurance, roads and vehicle return.
- Driving licence: Bring the original valid licence that the supplier accepts for the booking class.
- International Driving Permit: EU and UK licences need no permit; other issuers should confirm with the supplier.
- Airport desks: Handover happens in the terminal, at a shuttle office or with an agent in arrivals.
- Flight tracking: Give the flight number so the desk can hold the car if you land late.
- Vehicle inspection: Photograph the body, glass and tyres before you leave the parking bay.
- Out-of-hours handover: Night arrivals can carry a surcharge, so confirm the procedure in advance.
- Left-hand traffic: Cyprus drives on the left, so allow extra care at the first roundabouts and junctions.
- Security deposit: A refundable card hold is standard unless the tariff states otherwise.
- Passport: A valid passport or national ID is normally required at pickup.
- Insurance excess: Check the excess amount and exactly what a full-cover package removes.
- Accepted cards: Credit cards are the default; debit or cash depends on the individual supplier.
- Cover exclusions: Tyres, glass, mirrors, the undercarriage and unsurfaced roads are often excluded.
- Minimum age: Usually 21 and over, with a higher threshold for premium and larger classes.
- Speed limits: Roughly 100 km/h on motorways, 80 outside towns and 50 in built-up areas.
Useful information for renters
Parking and roads
Cyprus drives on the left and the steering wheel is on the right. Paid bays and one-way streets fill the centre, so aim for a marked car park rather than kerbside space. The A1–A6 motorways carry no tolls, so plan for fuel and city parking instead of road charges.
Car pickup
At the airport a car is usually handed over:- at a desk inside the arrivals hall;
- at an off-airport office reached by shuttle;
- by a meet-and-greet agent in arrivals;
- at an agreed address after landing.
The handover point and any out-of-hours fee are set by the supplier.
Payment and currency
Cyprus uses the euro (EUR).
The booking currency may differ, while the deposit, fuel, parking and any fines are normally settled in euro under the supplier’s terms.
