Last updated: 18 July 2026
Planning note: this is a supporting travel guide for visitors landing at LCA. For live prices, available cars and airport pickup booking, use the main Larnaca Airport car rental page.
Why Plan Your First Day From 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.
Top Destinations Near Larnaca Airport
Larnaca city centre is less than a 10-minute drive from the airport and is home to the palm-lined Finikoudes promenade, cafes, shops, Larnaca Salt Lake, and Hala Sultan Tekke. Heading east along the A3 motorway brings you to Ayia Napa and Protaras, while the A2 motorway connects the airport with Nicosia. These routes are straightforward, which makes airport pickup a practical way to start a Cyprus trip.
Crossing the Green Line from Larnaca
If you plan to drive from the Republic of Cyprus into Northern Cyprus, ask the rental company for permission before you travel. Standard rental insurance does not automatically apply across the Green Line, and drivers may need temporary third-party border insurance at the checkpoint. Keep your passport, driving licence, rental agreement, and insurance receipt with you. For the full checklist, read our Green Line rental car guide.
Driving Tips
In Cyprus motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. The usual speed limits are 50 km/h in towns, 80 km/h on rural roads, and 100 km/h on motorways unless signs say otherwise. Always wear your seat belt, avoid mobile phone use while driving, and take extra care at roundabouts if you are used to driving on the right.
Airport Pickup Checklist
- Share your flight number so pickup timing can be planned.
- Confirm the exact meeting point before arrival.
- Check the fuel level, mileage policy, and return location.
- Inspect the vehicle and take photos before leaving.
- Ask about child seats, second drivers, or late returns in advance.
