Booking a rental car in Cyprus is much easier than many travellers expect. This guide explains every step — from making your reservation to collecting your vehicle.

01 Book Directly Whenever Possible

We always recommend booking directly with the rental company. Comparison websites and travel agencies usually charge rental companies commissions of up to 20–30%. When you book directly, many companies are willing to share part of those savings with you.

Before completing your reservation, simply send the company a WhatsApp message and ask whether a direct booking discount is available. At Rentamania LTD, we are always happy to consider direct booking discounts whenever possible.

02 Submit Your Booking

Choose your vehicle, pickup location, pickup date and time, and return date and time. At Rentamania LTD, vehicles can be delivered to:

Paphos Airport;
almost any hotel in the Paphos area;
our office.

Once your booking is received, your vehicle is reserved for your selected dates.

03 Is Prepayment Required?

Policies vary from company to company. At Rentamania LTD, standard reservations do not require any advance payment. This gives customers greater flexibility if their travel plans change.

04 What Happens After Booking?

Many customers think nothing happens until arrival. In reality, a professional rental company monitors every reservation. Usually one or two days before pickup, we contact our customers via WhatsApp to confirm:

pickup time;
delivery location;
flight details (if applicable);
any changes to the reservation.

If you need to change anything, simply send us a message.

05 What If My Flight Is Delayed?

Flight delays are common. If your arrival time changes, simply send us a WhatsApp message. We regularly monitor customer arrivals and will adjust the delivery time whenever possible.

06 Can I Change or Cancel My Reservation?

Yes. Travel plans sometimes change, and we understand that. At Rentamania LTD, reservations can usually be changed or cancelled free of charge, provided you notify us at least one day before your scheduled pickup. The earlier you let us know, the easier it is for us to accommodate your request and release the vehicle for another customer.

07 What Documents Should I Prepare?

your driving licence;
passport or ID;
the agreed payment method.

Having everything prepared helps complete the pickup quickly.

08 Collecting Your Vehicle

When you receive your vehicle, your rental representative will explain the rental agreement, inspect the vehicle together with you, answer your questions and hand over the keys.

We always recommend reading the agreement carefully before signing and asking about anything that is unclear.
