KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Nicosia
- When you get a car hire in Nicosia, you will have the opportunity to see all the city sights and explore further afield in rural Cyprus. Choosing Nicosia car hire means you won’t have to use the city’s public transport system, which can be difficult to navigate as a visitor. Having your own car also means that you can organise your trip to suit your schedule and gives you easy access to popular attractions outside of the town. For instance, you can drive to rural beauty spots, such as Athalassa National Forest Park or the famous Mount Olympos, which are not accessible via public transport.
- Passengers arriving in Nicosia via Larnaca International Airport (LCA) will find that car hire is an extremely convenient option for reaching Nicosia. The airport is located around a 50min drive from Nicosia city centre on main roads. Public transport from the airport to Nicosia is limited and choosing car hire can help you get straight from the terminal to your Nicosia accommodation. You’ll find a range of car hire branches available, located just outside the main airport terminal, opposite the car parks.
- When you choose car hire in Nicosia, you will find that the city centre roads are well maintained and generally not too narrow. However, if you’re driving on the city outskirts or heading into rural areas, you may find that some roads are rougher or are affected by potholes. Rural fuel stations in Cyprus often do not take card payments, so be sure to carry some cash when you’re driving outside the city. If you plan to cross the border into Northern Cyprus during your trip, you should also check this with your car hire company before you travel. Many companies do not include insurance to cover Northern Cyprus, but you may be able to purchase insurance yourself at border checkpoints.
- Traffic congestion is common on the main A2 and A1 roads between Larnaca and Nicosia. Traffic on this road is generally heavier during rush hour periods, which tend to run from 07:30 to 08:00 and from 16:30 to 18:00. You will also find heavy traffic in the city centre during these times. Weather conditions can also affect drivers in Cyprus. For instance, during sunny weather, you may experience harsh glare on the road, so keep some sunglasses with you. Cyprus also experiences cold winters, so take care and be wary of ice on the road.
- Book your car hire in Nicosia at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy car hire in Nicosia are around 3% cheaper than other car types, on average
