Is it Worth Renting a Car in Cyprus? What You Need to Know

Let’s not keep the intrigue until the very end of this article: You must be between 25 and 70 years old and have held your driving licence for 3 years or more. That’s it. Simple as that. If you meet these requirements, go ahead and book a car on our website, The Camel Car Hire, and get ready to arrive in the sunny embrace of hospitable Cyprus. Still want to know a bit more? Alright, let’s dive into the topic.

Hiring a Car in Cyprus: Requirements to Understand

Well then, “Show your documents,” and we’ll check how well they meet Cyprus’ expectations:

• If your driver’s license is not in Latin script, consider bringing an International Driving Permit.
• Your driver’s license should be adventure-ready—check its validity so you won’t have to change your plans in Cyprus.
• Your passport confirms your identity. There is no deposit and no card hold with Camel Car Hire — a €20 booking fee reserves the car and comes off the total; you pay the rest at pickup by cash, debit card or credit card.

Is Car Rental in Cyprus Cheap?

It depends on the season:

• In summer (April–October) our smallest automatic cars start at €43 a day for a week, €45 a day for 3–6 days — see all cars and prices.
• In winter (November–March; in 2026 from 16 November) rates are lower — from €27/day on the smallest cars for 15–21 days.

Our clients love that we keep pricing straightforward—what you see on our website is what you’ll pay.

Can I Cross Cyprus Border with a Rental Car?

No. Our insurance does not cover driving in North Cyprus, so the car stays in the Republic of Cyprus — the rental agreement says the same. There is more than enough to see on this side of the island, from Paphos to Cape Greco.

Best Car Rental in Cyprus: Why Choose The Camel Car Hire?

Praising ourselves may seem immodest to some. But on the other hand, who else can be trusted with such an important task? Certainly not our competitors. So, avoiding unnecessary bravado, let’s get straight to the point about why you’ll love working with us:

• Our fleet is always in excellent condition, as each car undergoes a thorough inspection before hitting the road.
• It only gets better! You can choose your “steel steed” from a solid selection of options. Whether it’s a nimble city car or a spacious SUV that feels like an apartment on wheels—the choice is yours. By the way, an important detail: Every vehicle comes with air conditioning to make Paphos’ hot days a delight.
• Here’s the showstopper: We don’t sweat the small stuff. For example, we won’t add unexpected fees for minor sand traces after a beach day.

We could end here, but we’d like to highlight a few more important aspects of our interaction with clients—something we rightfully take pride in:

• Clients value our personalized approach—we don’t just hand over keys; we share route suggestions if you have such questions.
• You can pick up your car at a location that suits you: free at any Paphos hotel or villa, and free at Paphos Airport on rentals of 3 days or more (a small fee on shorter rentals). The pick-up takes five minutes either way.

What’s the conclusive remark? The Camel Car Hire stands for reliability you can trust. Travelers choose us again and again, and that alone is proof that we’re doing our job well.
