Renting cars in Cyprus is very popular now, but like any phenomenon, it has its pros and cons.
Undoubtedly, the main advantage of renting is the ability to go to any point on the island at a convenient time. If you are a tourist, you will be able to see all the beauty and sights without rushing and on a schedule comfortable for you. For those who come on business, having a car will allow not only to solve them much faster, but also to feel more confident.
The main disadvantage of renting a car in Cyprus is left-hand traffic. Many fear that they will not be able to drive under the new rules and deny themselves this pleasure. Of course, each person is individual, but as a rule, most people get used to driving on the left side fairly quickly. You just need to be more attentive and remember that the oncoming lane should be on the driver's side.
If you are worried that renting a car will require a lot of documents, you are mistaken. All you need is a valid international driver's license. The only condition is that more than a year must have passed since its issuance.
Overall, traffic rules in Cyprus are similar to Russian ones. The speed limit is 10 km/h less than ours, that is 50 km/h in the city and 80 km/h on the highway. Two yellow lines on the asphalt mean that parking is prohibited in this place. Children under 5 years old, as in Russia, can only be transported in a special car seat.
For those who think that renting a car in Cyprus is an expensive pleasure and luxury, there is good news. Thanks to the large number of different models available for rent, you can easily choose a car that fits your budget.
Thus, the only obstacle to renting a car in Cyprus can be a lack of desire or inability to drive. In all other cases, thanks to the abundance of offers, calm traffic on Cyprus roads and good infrastructure, renting a car will not cause any problems.
