PICKUP POINT
Limassol Car Hire
Limassol is Cyprus's second-largest city and one that rewards parking once and walking, particularly around the seafront, the Old Town and the Marina. The Old Town's core streets are narrow and largely built for pedestrians, so most visitors leave the car in a municipal car park near the Limassol Castle area and walk in from there.
The Limassol Marina, at the eastern end of the seafront, has its own multi-storey car park with an automatic number-plate recognition system: the barrier reads your plate on entry, and on exit you tap a contactless card at a payment station rather than using cash.

Pickup and location information
For a day mixing the Old Town, the Marina and a day trip inland, treat them as separate parking decisions: park once near the first dense area, explore on foot, and move the car only when heading somewhere with its own dedicated lot.
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
How does Limassol Marina parking work?
An automatic number-plate recognition system reads your plate on entry; on exit you tap a contactless card at a payment station. If the system does not read your plate correctly, keep your rental agreement or registration number to hand for the on-site security office.
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.
Which vehicle class suits a Limassol-based stay?
A compact car suits city parking and Old Town access well, while a larger or higher-clearance vehicle may suit longer day trips toward the Troodos foothills or the wine region. Match the class to how the car will actually be used.
