Cheap car hire in Cyprus: a unique island to pick up at the wheel of a car
Cyprus is a Mediterranean destination that combines pristine beaches, historical heritage and scenic seaside roads. Thanks to its manageable size and concentration of attractions in different parts of the island, cheap car hire in Cyprus is the most practical way to organise a flexible, dynamic and time-sensitive trip.
Although the main cities are served by public transport, many coves, archaeological sites and natural areas are not well connected. This is why driving a rental car in Cyprus allows you to optimise your time, avoid organised excursions and discover less crowded places in complete autonomy.
From Larnaca to Paphos, via Limassol or Ayia Napa, touring the island by road is an essential part of the experience, especially if you want to combine culture, beach and landscapes in the same itinerary.

Frequently asked questions about renting a car in Cyprus
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Cyprus?
Not always. Some of our suppliers require a physical credit card in the name of the main driver to rent a car at Cyprus, but many others accept a debit card! However, it must always be physical and in the name of the main driver. Check the terms and conditions of each offer before renting your car at Cyprus, to make sure.
What is included in the car hire price in Cyprus?
The price shown on Pepecar includes the items detailed in the Supplier Conditions displayed during the booking process.
It normally includes:
- Vehicle hire for the selected period.
- Compulsory basic insurance (with excess, unless otherwise stated).
- Mileage according to the contracted rate.
- Mandatory taxes and fees.
Each vehicle may have different conditions, so it is important to always review the ‘Rental Conditions’ section before confirming your booking.
What is Pepecar's cancellation policy for cheap car hire in Cyprus?
The cancellation policy of renting a car at Cyprus with Pepecar is very simple! If you cancel 48 hours before the car collection time, the cancellation will be completely free of charge. If not, there will be a cancellation penalty which you will be informed of during the booking process.
Is Pepecar cheaper than renting directly from a supplier?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the supplier, the location, the dates, when you make the booking and how far in advance, and ultimately on the prices set by the suppliers compared to those set by Pepecar for each occasion. Pepecar is not restricted by suppliers when setting its own prices; we set our own rates.
What information should I review before confirming a rental?
Before confirming your booking, you should check:
- The total price and what it includes.
- The deposit that will be paid or blocked on your card.
- The type of cover included and the excess.
- The fuel policy.
- The cancellation and modification conditions.
- The documentation you need to present when picking up the vehicle.
At Pepecar, this information is detailed in each offer, so you will have no doubts before deciding which vehicle to rent. The aim is to ensure that renting a car is an informed decision and that, once you have made it, all you have to do is enjoy your rental car without any worries.
What documentation will I need to rent a car in Cyprus?
In order to rent a car in Cyprus with Pepecar you only need 3 things: a credit card, a valid driving licence and a valid ID in the country, all of them in the name of the main driver. And that's it, you just need to enjoy your rental car!

Where to rent a car in Cyprus
To organise an efficient tour depending on where you start and make the most of your stay on the island, knowing where to rent a car in Cyprus is key to planning an efficient route according to your point of arrival and the type of trip you wish to make. Choosing the right city as a base allows you to optimise travel and design comfortable circular routes.
The main locations available are:
- Larnaca: car rental in Larnaca is one of the most common options, as the city is one of the main gateways to the country. Picking up at the airport allows you to start your route as soon as you land and easily travel east, south or inland.
- Paphos: Located on the southwest coast, car rental in Paphos is ideal for exploring beaches, archaeological sites and coastal roads. Its airport makes it easy to start your journey with complete independence.
- Nicosia: car hire in Nicosia allows you to combine cultural visits in the capital with trips to other parts of the island, thanks to its strategic location.
- Limassol: car rental in Limassol is particularly convenient as an intermediate base between Larnaca and Paphos, providing easy access to different parts of the country.
- Ayia Napa: Known for its beaches and touristy atmosphere, car hire in Ayia Napa allows you to tour the east coast and access less-travelled coves more conveniently.
Thanks to the relatively short distances between these cities, it is possible to design circular routes combining Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos or explore the east coast from Ayia Napa to Nicosia with total flexibility.
Choose Pepecar to book your car hire in Cyprus at the best price and with the greatest transparency. No surprises or hidden costs.
What is it like to drive a rental car in Cyprus?
An important thing to bear in mind when driving your rental car in Cyprus is that you will be driving on the left-hand side of the road, which may require a short adjustment period for drivers who are used to driving on the right-hand side of the road.
Important things to note:
- Main roads are in good condition and well signposted.
- Traffic can be heavy in high season, especially in tourist areas.
- A compact vehicle makes it easier to park in crowded areas.
- Distances between towns are short and make for convenient journeys.
Travelling around the island by car offers the advantage of stopping at beaches, viewpoints and historic sites whenever you wish, without being dependent on public transport schedules. Car rental in Cyprus is the best option for exploring the different corners of this magical Mediterranean island, where its history and landscapes will not leave you indifferent.
