PICKUP POINT
Larnaca Airport Car Hire
Larnaca International Airport (LCA) is the busier of the Republic of Cyprus's two airports and, for most visitors, the first stop on a car hire trip. According to Hermes Airports, which manages both Larnaca and Paphos airports, the car hire desks for the major international companies sit inside the arrivals hall, just past baggage reclaim, so pick-up usually does not require a shuttle transfer to an offsite lot.
It is still worth checking your confirmation for the exact desk name and hall position, since a handful of smaller or broker-only operators use a different meeting point or a short shuttle link rather than a terminal counter. From Larnaca, first-day routes typically split toward the city centre and seafront, or the motorway network toward Limassol or Nicosia.

Pickup and location information
Car hire desks are inside the arrivals hall, past baggage reclaim, for the major international companies. Confirm the pick-up type — desk, meet-and-greet, or shuttle — from your booking confirmation, since it is not standard across every supplier.
How deposit, excess, fuel and mileage work
The deposit is a security hold taken at pickup that can be used against damage or a missing fuel level. Excess is the upper amount you are responsible for in a damage claim; the supplier's insurance covers costs above it. Fuel policy is commonly either “same-to-same” (return at the level collected) or “full-to-full” (return full). A mileage limit may cap the daily or total kilometres allowed. The exact figures and wording vary by supplier and are shown in the offer's own immutable condition snapshot, which is the version that applies.
Cross-border travel and insurance
Cross-border travel between the two markets is prohibited by default on this marketplace. It is enabled only where a specific supplier has given written permission with matching insurance cover, shown explicitly on that offer. This must be confirmed per offer; no blanket permission is assumed.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Larnaca Airport car hire pick-up desk?
Hermes Airports, which manages the airport, confirms the international car hire desks sit inside the arrivals hall, past baggage reclaim. Always match your confirmation against the exact desk or meeting point named in the booking.
Speed limits and other driving rules I should know?
Cyprus drives on the left. The EU's official road-rules page for Cyprus sets speed limits at 50 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h on other roads and 100 km/h on motorways (with a 65 km/h motorway minimum), and lists a legal blood alcohol limit of 50 mg per 100 ml for most drivers, stricter at 20 mg per 100 ml for novice and professional drivers. Seatbelts are compulsory in every seat and handheld phone use while driving is not permitted. See the first-day driving checklist for the full list.
What documents do I need at pickup?
Bring a valid driving licence and identification matching the name on the booking. Any supplier-specific requirement, such as a minimum driver age or licence-held duration, is shown on the individual offer rather than assumed as a site-wide rule; confirm the exact desk and opening hours from your confirmation before you travel.
How do I pay?
This marketplace does not take online payment. The total shown on the offer's payment split is paid to the supplier at pickup.
What if I'm continuing straight to the city or the motorway?
First-day routes from Larnaca typically split toward the city centre and seafront, or the motorway network toward Limassol or Nicosia. Match the vehicle class to luggage, child seats and your planned return time rather than price alone.
