Frequently Asked Questions
We are here to make hiring a car in Paphos simple and stress-free, so you can explore Cyprus at your leisure. Our team deal with all the major car hire brands directly (including Hertz, Budget and Sixt) to get exclusive prices you won’t find anywhere else. Just use the simple search form to tell us when you need a car, and we will do the hard work for you; comparing prices from a number of brands, across a wide range of cars. However, we are more than a comparison site — we are an end-to-end service, here to help your rental journey go as smoothly as possible.
When you search for a car with us, you will see some suppliers (like Sixt and Budget) often have cars which give you a free additional driver — which can be a great way to save money if you are planning to split the driving with someone.
However, we know there is more to good value than special offers: you also want to be sure the company is highly rated and trusted. To help you make an informed choice, we show reviews and ratings from previous customers next to each listing. You can also avoid hidden fuel costs by booking a car with a full-to-full fuel policy (just remember to top up the tank before dropping the car off).
Avakas Gorge: Situated under one hour’s drive from Paphos, the Avakas Gorge is one of nature’s wonders. Carved out of limestone rocks rising up as high as 30 metres, the gorge presents a challenging hike as the rough track winds around and over the stream that created this popular attraction. Parts of the walk are slippery and involve clambering over rocks — therefore, solid footwear and sensible clothes are highly recommended.
Ancient Kourion: Considered to be one of Cyprus’ most important archaeological sites, the ancient city of Kourion is located near the town of Episkopi (a 40-minute drive from Paphos). A must-see for visitors to the island, the site has many monuments and well-preserved mosaics; the majority of which date from the Roman period. The highlight has to be the Greek Roman theatre, which has been lovingly restored and is regularly used for open-air musical and theatrical performances.
Fasouri Watermania: As Cyprus’ largest waterpark, Fasouri Watermania guarantees a fun day out for the whole family. Situated in Limassol, less than one hour’s drive from Paphos, the waterpark has many exciting attractions such as the Wet Wall Climb and the exhilarating Black Holes and Kamikaze Slide. The Lazy River is perfect for those looking for a more relaxing alternative, and there’s a separate pool for the little ones to paddle around in.
- In Cyprus, people drive on the left. If you’re not used to this, don’t worry – it doesn’t take long to adjust. If you want to practise first, you could head to a quiet car park before going onto a main road.
- Another exception from most other European countries is that distance is measured in miles and not kilometres in Cyprus. Therefore, the speed which you are travelling at will be calculated in miles-per-hour and not kilometres-per-hour.
- The major roads in Cyprus can get very congested, especially during the morning (07:00 – 08:30) and evening (16:30 – 18:00) rush hours.
