At a glance: what to check before booking
- Traffic drives on the left
- Confirm restrictions before crossing between areas
- Choose a familiar transmission
- Compare deposits and cover as well as the daily price
Getting comfortable with left-side driving
The steering wheel is normally on the right and traffic travels on the left. Before leaving, adjust the mirrors, locate the controls and take extra care when turning, leaving a car park and entering roundabouts.
Drivers unfamiliar with changing gear using their left hand may prefer an automatic. Automatic categories can sell out, so compare early while checking cancellation terms.
From Larnaca to beaches and mountains
Larnaca is a convenient base for Ayia Napa, Protaras, Nicosia and the Troodos Mountains. Match the day’s plan to the roads, weather and daylight, especially in mountain areas.
Confirm parking at your accommodation. If you will return in another city or airport, enter both locations to see any one-way fee in the quoted total.
Cover, territories and driving restrictions
Do not assume the vehicle may be taken to every part of the island. Permissions and insurance can differ between suppliers and offers, so obtain clear confirmation before travelling outside the normal permitted area.
Check the deposit, accepted card and insurance exclusions. The booking engine and rental voucher contain the binding offer details.
