PICKUP POINT
Polis Car Hire
Polis works well as a base for a day trip toward the Akamas peninsula. The road from Latchi toward the Akamas area is paved as far as the main visitor point near the Baths of Aphrodite, and current sources describe that car park as sitting at the end of the sealed road network, reachable by a standard two-wheel-drive car.
Beyond that point, the peninsula's interior turns into unpaved gravel and dirt track. Sources covering Akamas National Park describe several interior routes as rough gravel tracks better suited to a high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicle, and note that rental agreements often restrict standard cars from unsealed roads entirely.

Pickup and location information
A visit built around the Baths of Aphrodite car park, the nearby trailhead and the coastal viewpoints near Latchi is realistic in an ordinary saloon or family car; the peninsula's remoter interior is a different trip.
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
Can I reach the Baths of Aphrodite in a standard rental car?
Yes; the road from Latchi is paved as far as the main visitor car park, which sources describe as sitting at the end of the sealed road network.
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.
Can I drive into the Akamas interior?
The interior turns into unpaved gravel and dirt track, and many rental agreements restrict standard cars from unsealed roads. Check the supplier's written terms before leaving the paved network; a suitably equipped 4x4, a boat trip or an organised jeep excursion are the honest alternatives.
