Car rental companies in Paphos
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Paphos and throughout Cyprus, providing you with full flexibility in choosing car models and pick-up points. The main rental center in the city is Paphos International Airport (PFO), serving numerous flights from Israel and Europe and allowing quick and convenient drop-off processes, with counters inside the terminal or a short shuttle to the pick-up point. With Auto Europe Israel's platform, you can compare real-time between international and local companies, examine car categories, insurance terms, and fuel policies, and choose the most suitable and economical offer for your needs. Those who prefer to avoid queues at the airport can opt for convenient city pick-up near the hotel. Additionally, there are neighborhood rental stations scattered throughout Paphos— in the tourist area of Kato Paphos, in the old city, along Poseidonos Avenue, and on Kings Avenue—as well as nearby towns like Coral Bay. So you can choose where to pick up and return the car according to the vacation route, with many cases allowing for pick-up from one point and return to another, subject to provider availability and policy.
Operating hours vary between providers and branches: those at the airport typically operate with extended hours, while city branches may work with a more limited schedule and even include a midday break. Different opening hours may apply during weekends and local holidays, so it is advisable to verify in advance that the hours match the planned arrival time. Adding a flight number when booking helps track landing, and in the case of a late arrival, it is recommended to choose a branch that offers out-of-hours delivery service for an additional fee. To complete the process efficiently, arrive with vouchers, a valid driving license (an international one is also recommended), and a credit card in the driver's name for the deposit. If you plan family trips or visits to nature sites such as the Akamas Peninsula or the mountains, consider choosing a car category suited to road conditions. During peak seasons, it is advisable to book early to ensure availability and price and to select the most convenient pick-up and return points for you.
FAQ – Car rental in Paphos
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Paphos, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Paphos, with Europcar, Thrifty, and Hertz, the minimum rental age is generally 21, and sometimes a minimum driving experience of 1-3 years is required; drivers aged 21-24 are usually subject to a young driver surcharge and restrictions for certain car groups. When booking through Auto Europe Israel, the precise conditions will be displayed, including groups requiring age 25 and above and the surcharge amount if applicable.
Is an Israeli driving license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In most cases in Paphos, a valid Israeli driving license in plastic format including details in English is accepted by providers; if the license is not in English/Latin letters or according to the provider's requirement, an international license (IDP) must also be presented. It is recommended through Auto Europe Israel to equip yourself with an IDP in addition to the Israeli license and to bring a passport and credit card in the main driver's name; some providers require a minimum driving experience (usually 1-3 years).
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurances are recommended?
In Paphos, when renting through Auto Europe Israel, the basic coverage generally includes CDW (collision damage waiver) and TP (theft protection) with a deductible, as well as third-party liability according to Cypriot law. The deductible and guarantee amount vary according to the provider and car group, and parts like windows, tires, mirrors, undercarriage, interior, clutch, keys, and wrong fuel are sometimes not covered. It is recommended to consider extensions like Super CDW/Zero Excess to reduce deductible, window-tire-mirror coverage, personal accident insurance (PAI), and extended roadside assistance. Driving to Northern Cyprus is usually prohibited and not insured. The precise details appear on Auto Europe Israel's voucher.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the cost involved?
Yes. With Europcar, Thrifty, and Hertz in Paphos, an additional driver meeting the same age and license requirements as the main driver can be added. The addition is made at the counter with license presentation, usually incurring a daily charge and sometimes there's a rental cap. Through Auto Europe Israel, you can see the exact cost and coverage limitations in advance; note that insurance is valid only for drivers registered in the contract.

The guarantee amount and credit terms are determined by the provider and car group; in most cases, debit/prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit.
Tips for car rental in Paphos
Here are four useful tips for renting a car abroad, randomly selected and formulated briefly to save time and money. They are designed to help you book safely, hit the road with peace of mind, and avoid surprises. Regarding insurance, pricing, and navigation.
Check fuel policy and mileage
Understand if the rental includes full-to-full refueling or another policy, and if there's a mileage limit. A wrong choice can increase the deal's cost and penalties may be charged at return.
Document the vehicle's condition on pick-up and return
Take videos and photos of all sides, interior, and tires, and mark damages on the contract before departure. Documentation will protect you from charges for damages you didn't cause.
Verify license and credit card requirements
In most destinations, an international driving license and a physical credit card in the main driver's name are required for deposit. Ensure the limit is sufficient and names exactly match.
Check insurance coverages and costs
Compare CDW/LDW, deductible refund, and coverage for theft, windows, and tires. Sometimes an extended protection package saves stress and unnecessary charges at the counter.
