CAR HIRE CYPRUS

Cyprus has had a long association with Britain and it is a popular destination for holidaymakers as well as having a large ex-pat community.

Hire Cars

Cyprus drives on the left which makes life easier for British tourists who wish to hire a car. Number plates on hire cars start with a Z, which can make them a target for thieves, so keep valuables hidden and remove them when the car is unattended.

Driving conditions

Place names are usually given in both Greek and English, but signposting can be erratic so a map is a good idea. Major roads, including motorways, are well surfaces but minor roads can be rough and heavily potholed. All speed limits are posted in Kilometres per hour. On entering a built up area the speed limit automatically drops to 50kph, and this is indicated by the sign marked Katikomi Periokhi.
