Alex's Honest Take

My family has been renting cars in Ayia Napa since 1993 — my father Andreas founded The Drivers Rentals and I grew up in this business. That means I know every road on this island and every pitfall tourists fall into with rental cars. The most important thing: always check what insurance is included and what the excess is. With us, VAT and insurance are always included in the price — no surprises at pickup. If you're not sure whether to rent a car or a buggy, WhatsApp me and I'll tell you honestly which makes more sense for your plans.

Tips Before You Rent —
From a Local

✅ What to know before you pick up
  • Full insurance is worth it — Cyprus roads are narrow in places, parking is tight, and the excess on standard insurance is €300–€600. Full insurance costs a little more per day but gives complete peace of mind.
  • All our cars are automatic — no need to worry about driving a manual in an unfamiliar country.
  • Cyprus drives on the left — same as the UK. If you're from a left-hand traffic country, give yourself 10 minutes to adjust.
  • Book early in July & August — availability on specific models gets limited in peak season. WhatsApp us as early as possible to reserve your car.
  • Bring your driving licence — EU licences are accepted. Non-EU visitors should bring an International Driving Permit alongside their national licence.
  • Minimum age is 21 — a valid driving licence and credit card required at pickup.
🗺️ Where can I drive in Cyprus?

You can drive anywhere in the Republic of Cyprus — Ayia Napa, Protaras, Nicosia, Limassol, Paphos, Larnaca, the Troodos Mountains. Cyprus is a small island and very easy to explore by car. Larnaca Airport is about 45 minutes from Ayia Napa. Nicosia is about 1 hour. Paphos is about 2.5 hours. Note: the northern part of Cyprus (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) requires separate insurance — ask us if you plan to cross.
