Information about driving in Cyprus

Once you have landed in Cyprus and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey!

In Cyprus, driving is on the left-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

The speed limits in Cyprus are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on secondary roads, and 100 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

Be aware that local driving can sometimes be unpredictable, and traffic rules might not always be strictly followed. Watch out for pedestrians and cyclists, especially in urban and rural areas.

When visiting historic city centers or navigating narrow streets, it's recommended to park outside and explore on foot. Elsewhere, driving and parking are generally straightforward.

Fuel stations are readily available in cities and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the island.

While Cyprus doesn’t have an extensive toll road system like some countries, it's still important to familiarize yourself with local driving regulations and road conditions.

By law, vehicles in Cyprus must carry a reflective safety vest and a warning triangle. These should be used in case of breakdowns or accidents. But don’t worry – we take care of those if you choose our rental car!

If you need help during your stay in Cyprus, please don’t hesitate to contact us. In case of emergencies, dial 112 for all emergency services.
