Why Rent a Car at Larnaca International Airport
Larnaca International Airport (LCA) is Cyprus’s main gateway and a convenient starting point for your adventure. Hiring a car directly at the airport lets you leave the terminal and head straight for the beach, your hotel or the mountains without relying on taxis or busy shuttle buses. With your own wheels you can explore the island on your own schedule.
Picking Up & Returning Your Car
Infinite Car Rentals operates an easy pick‑up service at the airport. Our team will meet you in the arrivals hall with your contract and keys. After completing the paperwork you’ll be on the road in minutes. When your trip ends simply return the vehicle to the same location and we’ll take care of the rest. We offer flexible drop‑off times to match early flights and late arrivals.
