Why Rent a Car in Nicosia?

Car rental in Nicosia with no deposit gives you the freedom to explore the island's capital and beyond at your own pace. Taxis from Larnaca Airport to Nicosia cost EUR 40-60 one way, and public buses run infrequently with limited routes to many interesting destinations. With your own rental car, you control your schedule completely.

Nicosia is a city of contrasts - the last divided capital in the world, with a rich history spanning thousands of years. Beyond the walls, the Troodos Mountains, the vineyards of the Pitsilia region, and the scenic southern coast are all easily reachable. Additional insurance options including CDW/SCDW give you complete peace of mind. Guaranteed model selection, no credit card required, free cancellation - car hire in Nicosia has never been more straightforward.
