All-inclusive car rental in Cyprus
In Cyprus you drive on the left, and an all-inclusive rental gives you full insurance with zero excess in one price - a reassuring combination if you are not used to left-hand driving.
Cyprus is compact, sunny almost year-round and easy to explore by car, from the beaches of Ayia Napa to the Troodos mountains. Unusually for the region, traffic drives on the left, a legacy of British rule.
A Cardamar all-inclusive rental includes comprehensive zero-excess cover, which is reassuring while you adjust to left-hand driving and roundabouts. Roads are good and distances short.

Cyprus car rental - FAQ
Is it hard to drive on the left in Cyprus?
Most visitors adapt within a day. Roads are quiet outside the cities, and zero-excess cover removes the worry of a minor mistake while you adjust.

It is sometimes possible but usually needs additional insurance arranged at the crossing. Confirm with your supplier before travelling.
Are deposits required?
All-inclusive bookings aim to avoid a deposit at most destinations - always check the conditions shown for your pick-up location.
