Insurance

Rental cars are offered with several insurance options. You can choose one based on your experience.

  • Third-Party Liability Insurance (TPL) covers damage you cause to others with your car. This is a money-saving option for experienced drivers.
  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) covers most of the vehicle in case of a collision. This option will protect you in case of serious problems. It does not cover damages to tyres and windshield. This coverage is the same as in other European countries.
  • Less experienced drivers should opt for Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW). It costs more and protects your rental car almost from any problems, except your own negligence.

Each insurance requires a specific deposit that will limit your liability. For instance, in case of a minor accident (just a scratch), you will cover the damage from the money blocked on your card as a deposit. In case of a severe accident, you will pay only the amount of your deposit, and the rest will be covered by insurers. If you don't want to make a deposit, you can buy an optional "no deposit" service.

Hello! In order to drive car in Cyprus you need national driving licence (IDL or International Driving Licence is not needed). The only requirement is that information on your national driving licence must have English transcription. Also, please note that most of rental companies require credit card on the driver's name to be used to block the deposit for the rented car. Debit card, credit card on another person's name or credit card without the name are not accepted. The type of card required to rent a specific car you can see in the car's booking form (under the deposit amount). The minimum driver’s age is 25 years. The minimum driving experience is 3 years. If you do not meet these requirements, the rental agent may refuse to provide a vehicle. Drivers who have not reached the specified age, in some cases are able to rent a car, have to issue additional insurance "Young driver". To do this, please contact our client’s support department.
