Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions for travelers from Norway renting a car in Cyprus

When is the best time to book a rental car in Cyprus to get a good price?

To secure the best prices and selection, especially during the high season (June-August), you should book at least 2-3 months in advance. In the low season, good deals can be found closer to departure, but booking early always provides peace of mind.

Is it cheaper to book a rental car in advance or upon arrival at the airport?

It is almost always cheaper and safer to book online in advance. Prices at the airport are often much higher and the selection can be limited, especially during busy periods.

Which online platform is recommended for comparing and booking rental cars in Cyprus?

For a reliable and user-friendly experience, we recommend using QEEQ. They aggregate offers from various suppliers, making it easy to compare prices and terms in one place.

What type of car should I choose for a family of four traveling in Cyprus?

A compact SUV or a midsize station wagon is ideal. These offer plenty of space for passengers and luggage, and the higher ground clearance is beneficial for some of the smaller rural roads, especially if you plan to visit the Troodos mountains.

I am traveling alone or as a couple. Is the smallest and cheapest car sufficient?

Yes, for two people, a small economy car (like a Kia Picanto or similar) is perfect for city driving and shorter trips. It is easy to park and fuel-efficient. Consider a slightly stronger engine if you plan to drive a lot in the mountains.

Should I choose manual or automatic transmission in Cyprus?

As a Norwegian, you're used to right-hand driving. Switching to left-hand driving is a big enough change. We highly recommend choosing automatic transmission to remove the stress of shifting with your left hand, so you can focus fully on the traffic.

What is a realistic daily rental price for a midsize car in the high season?

Expect to pay between €40 and €70 per day for a midsize car in July/August. Prices can vary a lot, so it pays to compare offers on a platform like QEEQ.

Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of when booking?

Yes. Watch for extra charges for additional drivers, GPS, child seats, and one-way fees if you return the car at a different location. Always read the rental terms carefully before confirming the booking.

Can I pay for the rental car in Norwegian kroner (NOK)?

The booking websites may show prices in NOK, but the final transaction and deposit payment in Cyprus will always be in Euro (€). Be prepared for this and check your bank's exchange rates.

Is it worth booking a 'full coverage' insurance package immediately?

Often yes. Booking a package with full coverage (zero excess) through a platform like QEEQ can be cheaper than buying additional insurance at the counter in Cyprus. It also gives you peace of mind from the start.

Is my Norwegian driving license valid for renting a car in Cyprus?

Yes, your Norwegian driving license is fully valid. Cyprus recognizes licenses issued in EEA countries. You do not need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Cyprus?

The minimum age is generally 21, but many companies require you to be 25. Drivers between 21 and 24 often pay a 'young driver' surcharge. Always check the specific age requirement for your chosen car class.

Do I need a credit card to rent a car? Can I use a debit card?

You must have a credit card in the main driver's name. This is used to hold a deposit for the excess and any damages. Most rental companies do not accept debit cards for the deposit.

What documents do I need to bring to the rental desk?

You need: 1) Your valid Norwegian driving license, 2) Your passport, and 3) A credit card in your name. Also bring a printout or digital copy of your booking confirmation.

How much time should I allow for picking up the car at Larnaca (LCA) or Paphos (PFO) airport?

In high season, queues can be long. Allow at least 60-90 minutes from arriving at the rental desk to driving away. In low season, it is usually faster, maybe 30-45 minutes.

What is the most important thing to check on the car before driving away?

Take time for a thorough inspection! Use your phone to take photos and videos of the entire car, documenting any existing scratches, dents, or damage. Check that all lights, air conditioning, and wipers work.

How should I check the tires on the rental car?

Look for visible wear and check the tire pressure. Many cars in Cyprus are driven hard, and tires can be worn. If they look bad, request another car. Your safety comes first.

The car I am offered has red number plates. What does this mean?

Red number plates with black text indicate it is a rental car. This makes other drivers (and the police) aware that you are likely a tourist and may be unfamiliar with the roads and left-hand driving.

Should I choose a diesel or petrol car?

Petrol is most common for smaller rentals and is widely available. Diesel can be slightly cheaper per liter and offers better fuel economy on long journeys, but the selection of diesel cars is often smaller in the lower categories. For most tourists, it does not make much difference.

What should I do if I am not satisfied with the car I am given?

Be polite but firm. Explain why you are dissatisfied (e.g., poor technical condition, too dirty, not the class you booked). Most reputable companies will try to find a solution and offer another car.

What is the best tactic for a Norwegian to get used to left-side driving?

Take it slow at first. Spend the first few minutes in the parking lot getting used to the car's dimensions. Remember the mantra: 'Keep to the left, look to the right.' Be extra careful at roundabouts and intersections. Having a passenger to help with navigation and reminders is very helpful.

How do roundabouts work in Cyprus?

This is the biggest challenge! Enter the roundabout clockwise (to the left). Yield to traffic already in the roundabout (coming from the right). Stay in the left lane if going left or straight (first or second exit), and in the right lane if going right (third or fourth exit).

What are the general speed limits?

Generally: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h on country roads, and 100 km/h on motorways. Always look for signs as local variations occur. Speed controls are common.

What is the road quality like in Cyprus?

Motorways (marked 'A') connecting major cities are of very good standard, similar to European highways. Country roads ('B' roads) are also generally good. However, be cautious on small roads in the mountains and countryside, where roads can be narrow, winding, and poorly maintained.

Are Cypriot drivers aggressive?

They can seem more 'assertive' than in Norway. Expect people to drive close, use the horn often (sometimes as a greeting), and sometimes have a relaxed attitude to indicators. Keep your distance, stay calm, and don't let it stress you.

How does parking work in cities like Limassol or Paphos?

Look for marked parking lots or garages. Payment is usually via machines ('pay and display'). Double yellow lines mean no parking. Single yellow lines mean loading/unloading zones, so avoid parking there. Illegal parking can result in a fine of €100 or more.

Can I drive a rental car from the Greek Cypriot part (South Cyprus) to the Turkish Cypriot part (North Cyprus)?

This is complicated. Most rental companies in the south do NOT allow their cars to be taken to the north. If they do, the southern insurance is not valid in the north. You must buy separate, third-party insurance at the border. Always check your rental contract! Crossing without permission is a serious breach.

Are there many toll roads in Cyprus?

No, as of now there are no toll roads in Cyprus. All use of motorways and public roads is free.

What is the blood alcohol limit in Cyprus?

The limit is lower than in Norway for experienced drivers: 0.22 mg/l in breath (about 0.5‰ in blood). For novice and professional drivers, it is even lower. Our advice: Don't drink alcohol at all if you are driving.

Is it mandatory to use headlights during the day, as in Norway?

No, it is not mandatory to use daytime running lights in Cyprus, but you must use them when visibility is poor and in tunnels. For your own safety and visibility, it is still a good idea to have them on.

What does CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) mean and is it included?

CDW, or comprehensive insurance, is almost always included in the base price. It reduces your financial responsibility in case of damage to the rental car. BUT, it comes with a high excess (sometimes €500 to €2000).

What is SCDW (Super Collision Damage Waiver)? Should I buy it?

SCDW is an extra insurance you can buy at the counter that reduces your excess, often to zero. We strongly recommend some form of zero-excess coverage. It is often cheaper to arrange this in advance via QEEQ than to buy SCDW directly from the rental company.

Does standard insurance cover damage to tires, windows, and undercarriage?

No, almost never. Standard CDW usually does not cover tires, wheels, windows, mirrors, undercarriage, or roof. Damage to these parts is your responsibility unless you have an extended 'full' insurance that specifically covers them.

What is a deposit (security deposit) and how much is it?

The deposit is an amount reserved on your credit card to cover the excess and any other costs (fines, missing fuel). The amount usually matches the excess, so it can be from €500 to €2000. The money is released after the car is returned without damage.

What are the most common fuel policies?

The most common and best policy is 'Full to Full'—you pick up the car with a full tank and return it full. Avoid 'Full to Empty', where you pay for a full tank upfront (often overpriced) and can return it empty. You almost always lose money with that.

Where can I find petrol stations and how do I pay?

Petrol stations are plentiful, both in cities and along highways. Most are attended during the day. Tell the staff how much you want to fill ('full tank, please' or 'forty euro'). You can pay by card or cash. Many stations also have unattended pumps for card payment 24/7.

How do fuel prices (95 octane and diesel) in Cyprus compare to Norway?

You’ll be pleasantly surprised! Fuel prices in Cyprus are significantly lower than in Norway—often 30-40% less than Norwegian prices.

Do I have to pay extra to add an additional driver?

Yes, almost always. It usually costs between €5 and €10 per day for an extra driver. All drivers must be registered in the rental contract, otherwise insurance is invalid when they drive.

How much does it cost to rent a child seat or booster?

Expect to pay between €5 and €12 per day for a child seat or booster. Some companies have a maximum price per rental period. For longer rentals, it may be cheaper to buy a basic seat at a supermarket.

Can I expect to receive a speeding ticket in the post after returning to Norway?

Yes, absolutely. The rental company will receive the fine, charge your credit card for the fine plus an administrative fee, and send you the information. Drive carefully!

Which navigation app is best to use in Cyprus, Google Maps or Waze?

Both Google Maps and Waze work excellently. Google Maps is great for general planning. Waze is particularly good for real-time updates on traffic, accidents, and police controls. Download the Cyprus map offline in Google Maps before traveling to save data.

Which emergency numbers should I know?

The most important number is 112, the common European emergency number for ambulance, fire, and police. Also save the number for your rental company’s roadside assistance, usually found on your contract or a sticker in the car.

What should I do if I break down or get a flat tire?

First, move the car safely off the road and turn on your hazard lights. Put on your reflective vest (check it's in the car at pickup!). Then call the rental company's roadside assistance. Do not attempt repairs yourself unless you are certain of what you are doing.

What should I do if I'm involved in a minor accident, like a scratch in a parking lot?

Even for small damages, contact the rental company immediately for instructions. Take photos of the damage and any other involved car. If another party is involved, exchange information (name, phone, insurance) and never admit fault. If there is disagreement or personal injury, call the police (112).

How is mobile coverage for navigation in remote areas like Akamas Peninsula or the Troodos mountains?

In cities and along the coast, coverage is excellent. In the deepest parts of the Troodos mountains or the wild Akamas Peninsula, you may lose signal. This is another good reason to download offline maps in advance.

Is there anything special I should consider when returning the car?

Plan to arrive at the airport in good time. Find the correct car return area (follow signs for 'Car Rental Return'). Make sure the tank is full as per your agreement. Take new photos/videos of the car to document its condition, especially if returning outside opening hours.

What should I do if I am wrongly charged for damage after I return home?

This is where your documentation is invaluable. Contact the rental company in writing and attach the photos/videos you took before and after. If you booked via QEEQ, you can also contact their customer service for help. If not resolved, dispute the charge through your credit card company.

Is it safe to leave valuables in the car?

No. As with all tourist destinations, never leave valuables such as passports, cameras, wallets, or electronics visible in the car. Lock valuables in the trunk and take the most valuable items with you.

How clean does the car need to be when returning it?

Normal use is expected. A little sand is fine. But if the car is excessively dirty inside (e.g., wet seats, trash everywhere, stains), you may be charged a cleaning fee. Do a quick tidy-up before returning.

What's your final and best advice for driving in Cyprus?

Relax and enjoy the trip! You’re on holiday. Don’t let other drivers stress you. Take your time, drive defensively, and see the drive as part of the adventure. The freedom a rental car gives you on this beautiful island is priceless. Safe travels!
