Car Rental in Cyprus

Renting a car in Cyprus makes it easy to reach remote beaches, mountain villages and flexible itineraries. Drive on the left; expect narrow, winding mountain roads and no motorway tolls. Practical tip: park in marked bays (metered in towns) and fill up before heading into rural/mountain areas.
