Car Rental Requirements in Cyprus
Before collecting a vehicle from Infinite Car Rentals, make sure every driver meets the requirements below. These requirements are based on our published Terms and Conditions.
Driver Age and Licence
- The standard minimum age is 21.
- Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent from the Economy group and pay a €6 per-day Young Driver’s Surcharge.
- Drivers aged 25 or over must have held a full, original and valid driving licence for at least one year. Drivers under 25 must have held their licence for at least two years.
- All valid EU driving licences are accepted.
- A valid licence printed in a non-Roman alphabet, including Arabic, Japanese or Cyrillic, must be accompanied by a valid International Driving Permit.
- Photocopies, learner permits and licences with driving restrictions are not accepted.
Documents and Payment
- The driver’s full, original and valid driving licence.
- The driver’s original passport or national ID.
- The driver’s credit card for the refundable guarantee deposit.
- Major credit or debit cards may be used for rental payment.
- Every additional driver must present their original licence and ID or passport and be listed on the rental agreement.
Guarantee Deposit
The deposit amount depends on the vehicle group and insurance selected. At pickup, it is preauthorized on the driver’s credit card, meaning the amount is blocked rather than debited. It is released after the rental provided no additional charges arise under the rental agreement.
Insurance and Mileage
Third-party liability cover and Standard Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) are included in the daily rental price, subject to exclusions. Optional Super CDW and Full CDW are available. Rentals include unlimited kilometres within the Republic of Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus
Crossing into Northern Cyprus is permitted only with prior confirmation from Infinite Car Rentals. The renter must purchase the required border insurance and inform the pickup agent so written confirmation is included on the rental contract. Standard Infinite Car Rentals insurance does not provide cover in Northern Cyprus, and the renter remains responsible for incidents, damage, recovery costs and other expenses there.
