Question 15

Does Cyprus have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

Before you book car hire in Cyprus, there are one or two laws that you might find a bit unusual. For a start, it is illegal to eat or drink while driving. One can certainly appreciate the wisdom of this, but UK visitors who opt for self-drive holidays in rental cars will have to be conscious of this when driving. It is also against the law to smoke with a person younger than 16 in the car, and this is strictly enforced. You can expect on the spot fines for both offences. Furthermore, you’re not allowed to use a car horn at night, and it is mandatory to use your headlights within half an hour of sunset and sunrise. Most of the other driving laws in Cyprus will be more familiar – it’s illegal to use a mobile phone without a hands-free kit while driving, for instance. Children below the age of five are not allowed to sit in the front seat, but child seats aren’t mandatory. Seat belts are required, however, for back and front-seat occupants.

Question 16

What are the legal and documentation requirements for hiring a car in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

If you rent a car in Cyprus, you need to be aware of the documentation you are legally required to carry in your car, and you should check that your car hire company provides them when collecting your car rental. You’ll need a motor insurance certificate and all your car hire paperwork. Your vehicle provider will organise the latter. You must be at least 21 to hire a car in Cyprus and need to present your driver’s licence and a second form of ID, such as your passport. You'll most likely be required to use your credit card to make a deposit, so check the payment requirements while you’re looking for rental cars as well.

Question 17

Which areas of Cyprus have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

Most of the heavier traffic in Cyprus is concentrated in the northern region of the island, around the capital city of Nicosia, and on the southern coast in the area of Limassol. Within the cities, the rush hours are milder than those of the UK. Outside of those times, it's easy to get around and find parking. The highway linking Nicosia with Limassol is the busiest road where you’re most likely to get hampered by traffic. Other than that, there aren’t any regions of the island where you can expect anything more than light traffic, and it’s a very relaxing driving experience all round. As a consequence, you can choose pretty much any of the rental cars on offer. It’s not necessary to restrict yourself to a compact car as you won’t encounter any real congestion besides what we’ve mentioned above.

Question 18

What are the most scenic roads in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

To enjoy an iconic Mediterranean road trip that combines natural attractions with good roads and classic sea views, collect your car hire and set off on the route from Troodos to Akamas. You’ll travel with the forested Troodos mountains on one side and Chrysochou Bay on the other. Just before you get to Akamas, stop at the bay known as Blue Lagoon. You can park here and take a boat trip on the famously clear water. To experience the traditional fishing culture of the island’s little hamlets, take the drive from Pomos to Pachyammos. Along the way, you’ll find the Dragon’s Cave of local legend, and when you arrive in Pachyammos, you can visit Agios Rafael, one of the most impressive old churches on the island. Just be aware that petrol stations are mostly concentrated in the cities, so make sure you fill up your tank at every opportunity, especially on longer road trips.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

Question 20

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

Question 21

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age for drivers varies by country, including Cyprus. In many EU countries drivers must be 18 years old. As a rule, you’ll need to be 21 to hire a car abroad, and a young driver surcharge may be applied if you are under 25. We recommend reading through the policy of your chosen rental company before booking.

Question 22

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Cyprus, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you are renting abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
