Driving license requirements for hiring a car in Cyprus

It is essential that you have a full valid driving license to hire a car in Cyprus. All providers will require also that you’ve held this license for at least 1 year.

If your license was issued outside of Europe, you may also need to obtain an IDP, also called an international driving permit to present upon collection. If you do need an IDP you still need to bring your normal driving license.

Most providers will also require that you present your valid passport when collecting the car. If you’re unsure about this requirement with your particular provider make sure to check the rental conditions before booking your car.

Security deposit requirements

Almost all car hire providers in Cyprus will require that security deposit is left when you collect the car. A security deposit will need to be left on a valid credit card in the name of the main driver. These security deposits can be a wide variety of amounts ranging from 300 Euros to 2000 Euros.
