Do You Plan to Rent a Car in Cyprus? - Then these 4 Tips will Serve You Well

Petrol Stations - Opening Hours and Payment

Petrol stations in Cyprus are open from 07:00 to 18:00 every day, except Tuesday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. In addition, petrol stations are closed on Sundays and all Public Holidays. Most pumps have a facility to accept cash and credit cards. Remember, these facilities can't give change.

You don't want to pumping 50 euros of fuel into the tank if you're taking the rental car back the next day! i.e. most rental cars are taken back with an empty tank, you wont get a refund.

Garage attendants are available to fill up the car and take payment when the petrol station is open.

Safety on the Roads - Speed Limits and Rules for Children

Remember, if you rent a car in Cyprus, you drive on the LEFT hand side of the road.
The same as in the UK. Distances and road speed limits are given in kilometers and
kilometers per hour (km/h). The maximum speed limit on the motorways is 100km/h
(62mph) and the lower speed limit is 65km/h (40mph).

In built up areas, the speed limit is generally 50km/h (31mph).

Children under the age of five must not, under any circumstances sit in the front
passenger seat. Children from five to ten years old may occupy the front passenger
seat, only if an appropriate child's seat belt has been fitted.

The use of seat belts is mandatory.
