Cyprus is a beautiful Island and to make the most of seeing the different variations to the Island including the Troodos Mountains, traditional villages, beautiful beaches it is recommended that you hire a car. The main car-hire firms have offices in all the tourist areas, Nicosia and the airports at both Larnaca and Paphos/Pafos. Prices vary according to season but include unlimited mileage and comprehensive insurance, if you wish to avoid excess charges take out the optional insurance package. If you intend to to go off road for example visiting the Arkamas you should consider a four-wheel-drive vehicle. The minimum age for car rental is that drivers must be 21 years of age although being under 25 does normally make the cost of carhire more expensive.
In Cyprus you drive on the left so if coming from the UK it makes driving life very simple. The speed limit on the motorway is 100kmph (62mph) and in built-up areas 50kmph (31mph). You will often find Radar speed checks on the motorways between Limassol and Nicosia and from Paphos to Limassol plus on the Nicosia by-pass. There is an Ikea in Nicosia which is easily reached from the motorway.
The petrol stations still have staff that will fill your tank for you and when unstaffed/closed during the night etc. most garages are equipped with machines into which you pay the amount of euros for the petrol/diesel you want to take and then just fill up and the pump will automatically stop at the requested amount. In the Karpasia peninsula in the north there are only three petrol stations so make sure you start your journey with a full tank of fuel.
Cars which have been licensed abroad may be used on Cypriot roads for 3 months without tax and then if you want to extend this time you will need to apply to the main customs office.
