Driving in Cyprus**
You'll be pleased to know that driving on Cyprus' roads won't be too dissimilar to the UK - they drive on the left hand side of the road in right hand drive vehicles. It is, of course, far sunnier than the British Isles!
The road network in Cyprus is modern and well maintained, allowing easy access between towns and attractions across the island.
There are few local laws and customs that you may find useful when driving in Cyprus. This is a rough guide and should be used in conjunction with the terms and conditions stipulated by your car hire company, as well as your own research about driving laws in Cyprus.
- Right hand drive - drive on the left-hand side of the road, overtake on the right.
- Minimum age to hire - be at least 18. Under 25's may have to pay a young driver surcharge.
- Seatbelt - Cypriot law requires all car occupants to wear a seatbelt front and back.
- Children under 1.5m - must wear a suitable safety belt
- Mobile phones - it is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving, unless using a handsfree kit or earphones.
Speed limits
- Major Highways - 100kph/62mph
- Inter urban - 65kph/40mph
- Rural roads - 65kph/40mph
- Built up areas - 50kph/31mph
Drinking and driving
It is prohibited to drive if the levels of alcohol in the blood or breath are above the admissible limit. The admissible limit in the blood is 50 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood (BAC 0.5 mg/ml). The admissible limit in breath is up to 22 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of exhaled air.
It is important to note that drinking alcohol and then driving may invalidate your car rental insurance, irrespective of local drink driving laws. Check your policy for full details.
Driving licence
Important Information - Changes to the UK Driving Licence
A UK driving licence will allow you to drive in Cyprus, and you will not need an IDP - International Driving Permit.
Passport - You may also be required to carry another form of personal ID with you while driving.
Cyprus Car Hire FAQs
Our cheapest car rental in Cyprus starts from just £8.78 for an 'Economy' 4/5 seater vehicle from either Paphos Airport or Larnaca Airport. Economy and Small vehicles are perfect for those on a budget, solo travellers, couples and small groups with minimal luggage to haul around- they're also the easiest to park!
It's definitely worth renting a car in Cyprus as public transport is famously sparse and often unreliable. Uber does not exist in Cyprus and private taxis can be very expensive too, so hiring a car is the best option for a hassle-free trip for those who want to explore everything the island has to offer.
Some companies will allow you to drive into the North but some will not, so it's important that you check directly with the provider that you want to book with before you confirm to avoid fines or having to pay for damage should you be involved in an incident in the occupied North. If the company does allow you to drive into Northern Cyprus you will need to pay for insurane at the border which is usually around £20 and must be paid in cash.

The documents you'll need to hire a car in Cyprus are as follows:
- Driving license and passport in all drivers' names
- Booking confirmation and policy documents
- Credit Card with full deposit amount available
**This information should be considered as a broad overview of things to remember when hiring a car. It is therefore very important that you read the rental terms and conditions and associated policies for your own specific policy as well as doing your own research into the motoring laws of the country in which you will be driving.
