Driving Tips for Cyprus
Make driving your rental car in Cyprus easy and enjoyable with these Cyprus driving tips:
- A different car design: Your car rental in Cyprus will have the steering wheel on the right, and you will drive on the left side of the road.
- No horns: Using your horn near a hospital or honking between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am is forbidden.
- Parking: When you rent a car in Cyprus, you will most likely have to park in a paid zone in cities and towns. You can pay with an app, coins, banknotes, or credit cards.
