Car hire in Limassol comes with one quirk: the city has no airport of its own. Limassol sits between the island's two gateways — Larnaca (LCA, ~67 km / 45–55 min) and Paphos (PFO, ~61 km / 50–60 min). Far from being a problem, it's a choice: pick whichever airport suits your flight and we collect the car there.
A couple landing at LCA at 22:40 last May had keys at the hotel reception in Germasogeia by 23:50. Flight number on the booking, host already at arrivals, contract signed on the bonnet. No shuttle queue to wonder about.
Limassol itself is the most cosmopolitan city on the island: a modern marina, the Molos seafront, a medieval castle and a large expatriate community. The cruise port — Royal Caribbean, MSC, Celestyal — is Cyprus's main cruise gateway. The Krasochoria wine villages on the southern slopes of Troodos are the island's classic winemaker route, and without a car, almost out of reach.
Reaching Limassol without an airport
No airport in Limassol isn't an obstacle, just a fact. The city sits between both gateways: Larnaca (LCA) closer to the east coast and Nicosia, Paphos (PFO) closer to Akamas and the west. The drive from either is roughly an hour on the toll-free A5 or A6.
With no big day trips planned, the choice of airport barely matters. With Ayia Napa or Nicosia on the list, LCA is more convenient. For Akamas or Paphos, take PFO.
The most comfortable option is door-to-hotel delivery. We and most of our partners meet you by flight number at LCA or PFO, drive you to your hotel and leave the car at reception. On three-day-plus rentals it's free of charge; on shorter hires there's a token fee of around 25–40 USD one way.
A family of four flew into PFO at 14:00 on a Saturday in June, picked up at the rank outside arrivals and were checked in at their Pissouri villa by 15:20 — including a half-hour stop at the rock for photos.
Collecting at the airport and driving yourself in is the alternative. It's 50–60 minutes on the A5 or A6 with no mountain bends, fine for a fresh visitor, but it means adapting to driving on the left straight away. Limassol city offices are useful too, if you're joining travelling companions who landed earlier and picking the car up in town.

I prefer to rent a car in Cyprus only from Alik. This time everything was as good as always. I was met with all the documents and a clean car. The car was handed over in five minutes and the return took five minutes too. Very grateful for the good service. To all who will read this, I can say only one thing, book a car with Alik and you will not regret.

I did not like In the beginning, they brought the wrong Chair. Then they handed over the car to the short-term parking zone, where there was no time to load and then inspect the car And then they took 50 out of 150 for a new scratch I will no longer use the services and will not recommend to anyone

The rental process went smoothly. The landlord Janis arrived exactly at the agreed time. Fast paperwork and handover of cars. The car was clean and completely serviceable, allowing you to fully enjoy your vacation without unnecessary worries and hassle. Thanks!

Everything went great! I can 100% recommend this company. I don't understand why there are so few reviews .. Renting a car for the entire vacation is the best solution when planning your travel around the island. We have traveled almost all over Cyprus and fell in love with these wild beaches, cliffs, cozy mountain towns and wineries. You can't take a bus like that) I had a small white Toyota, I liked it! The car was delivered on time, paid the rent for 14 days on the spot, signed an act. We also agreed on the time and place of transferring the car back without any problems. I want to express my deep gratitude for the trust, since I only had a year of driving experience and usually car rental companies in Cyprus refuse to rent. The car was taken back without any problems, I said goodbye to the ideal Cypriot roads, let out a tear .. I miss it already))

Mazda Demio in Cyprus
Thank you so much for your work! The very best car rental service! Very loyal prices, meet the customers, wait for a flight delay, meet at the airport, a very trusting attitude towards people! We took the Mazda demio, first made an advance payment of 5 €, then we paid everything on the spot. Instead of Mazda, we were given a car of the same class - Nissan Not on a machine WITHOUT DEPOSIT AND FRANCHISE !!! This is almost nowhere to be found! Everything is fast, organized, cool! Special thanks to Marat! Always in touch in Whatsap, telling you everything, answering all questions! We will be your regular customers❤️

I liked the car. The car is fresh, both outside and inside. Despite the small engine power, this was enough, quite a frisky machine. Thanks to Yannis, it’s nice to deal with him, we resolved all the questions promptly and without problems. Next time I will be happy to rent a car from him again.
Parking in Limassol
Limassol's parking is harder than Larnaca's: heavier traffic, tighter centre, every spot in high season already taken. The first rule is not to try parking in the old town or at the marina itself — leave the car on the edge and walk.
The most reliable option for the marina and Molos seafront is the covered underground car park beneath Limassol Marina: hundreds of spaces, 24/7, around 1.5–3 USD per hour with a daily cap. For the old town, the municipal car parks on the western edge — Heroes Square and Saripolou Square — work well.
A guest on a Friday night in July spent 25 minutes circling near the marina before giving up and dropping down to the underground bays. Two euros an hour, walked back to dinner in three minutes. Lesson: don't try the surface first.
Blue lines in the centre mean a paid zone in business hours, around 1–2 USD per hour. Sundays and public holidays are free almost everywhere. Double yellow means no stopping, ever, particularly around the port and along Anexartisias. Fines around 95 USD plus towing, and the city tow trucks work on Saturdays.
If you stay late in the wine villages, leave the car at the hotel and come back by taxi or Bolt. Limassol parking at night isn't a search; it's a choice between a garage and a fine.
Rates in Limassol vary throughout the year depending on the season and the rental length.

Krasochoria wine villages
Krasochoria is a cluster of 20 traditional wine villages on the southern slopes of Troodos, right above Limassol. The famous ones: Omodos with its cobbled square and old winery, Lofou with its terraces, Arsos and Vasa with tasting rooms at family estates. Most are an hour from the centre.
What to taste
The local grapes are Mavro (red) and Xynisteri (white). The headline name is Commandaria — the world's oldest named wine still in continuous production since 800 BC, made in fourteen villages near Kolossi.
A couple booked lunch at a family taverna in Omodos for 14:00, did three cellars in the morning and woke up the next day at a guesthouse two doors down. They came back at 09:00 the next morning to collect the car. Better than the alternative.
Non-drinking driver
Cyprus limits are 0.5 promille (0.2 with under three years' experience). Summer police checks in the wine villages aren't unusual. The simple fix is one driver who stays sober; the alternative is to leave the car overnight in the village.
The most common mistake in Krasochoria is underestimating the dose. After three small tasting glasses you're already over the limit. If lunch came with wine, the car stays.
Frequent Questions
The drives are about the same: LCA is ~67 km / 45–55 minutes on the A5; PFO is ~61 km / 50–60 minutes on the A6. Choose by your wider itinerary: LCA is friendlier for Nicosia, Ayia Napa or Northern Cyprus; PFO is better for Akamas, Paphos or the west coast. The flight price often decides for you.
Around 67 km and 45–55 minutes on the toll-free A5 motorway, heading west. The road is flat with no mountain bends and signs in Greek and English. For a fresh visitor adjusting to driving on the left, it's a manageable first stretch — just don't rush the first hour.
About 61 km and 50–60 minutes east on the A6 along the south coast. Aphrodite's Rock is a 30-minute stop on the way from PFO. If you'd like to stretch the trip out, allow another hour for the rock and lunch in a coastal taverna in Pissouri.
Yes. Most of our partners meet you by flight number at LCA or PFO, drive you to your Limassol hotel, and leave the car at reception. On three-day-plus rentals it's free of charge. On shorter hires it's a small fee of 25–40 USD one way, agreed at booking.
The covered underground car park beneath the marina itself: hundreds of spaces, 24/7, roughly 1.5–3 USD per hour with a daily cap. It's by far the simplest option. The surface bays around the marina are nearly always full, and circling the lanes by car gets old quickly.
Kourion is around 20 km and 25 minutes west on the B6 (the cliff-top amphitheatre, UNESCO area). Kolossi Castle sits on the way, 14 km and 20 minutes from the centre. A natural pattern: Kolossi and Kourion in one morning outing, back in Limassol for lunch. Parking at both is free.
About 40–50 km and an hour on the A6 then the mountain road, north-west of Limassol. Omodos is the headline Krasochoria village, with its cobbled square and old winery. Lofou and Arsos are on the way. Allow at least half a day for tastings, ideally a full day with a non-drinking driver.
For Famagusta the closer crossings are Pergamos and Dherynia — about 110–120 km and 1.5 hours east. For Kyrenia, Metehan in Nicosia is the practical choice: 80 km north on the A1, then the crossing and another 30 minutes to Kyrenia. Buy the Turkish policy at the checkpoint before crossing.
About 50 km and 40 minutes west on the A6, taking the Petra tou Romiou exit. The best time is 30 minutes before sunset: park up top, walk down to the viewpoint, and watch the rock light up as the sun drops. Parking is free and the path is straightforward for everyone.
There's no rental desk inside the port, but we and our partners deliver the car to the port exit timed to the ship's arrival. A nice shore-excursion pattern: take the keys, do Kourion and Omodos in half a day, return for departure. Arrange it at booking with the ship's name.
Yes — relocations and mid-stay deliveries within Limassol are simple. If your travelling companions arrived earlier or you've changed plans, contact our team and the partner will bring the car to your address. Same delivery applies if you want to swap categories halfway through the trip.
Technically yes, in practice no. The streets around Limassol Castle and Heroes Square are narrow, one-way and short on parking. Leave the car at the western edge in a municipal car park or in the marina underground garage and walk — the old town is comfortably done in an hour or so on foot.
Around 110 km and 1.5 hours west on the A6 to the park entrance. Inside Akamas you need a 4×4 to reach Lara Beach or Avakas Gorge — the tracks are loose stone and dirt. Standard CDW does not cover off-road damage; either book a 4×4 with an off-road policy or walk in from the entrance.
One driver stays sober — that's the baseline. Cyprus limits are 0.5 promille for experienced drivers and 0.2 for those with under three years' experience, and summer police checks in Krasochoria are routine. If everyone wants to taste, leave the car overnight in the village and drive back in the morning.
The covered Limassol Marina underground car park is the most practical for marina-based stays and cruise-port turnarounds. For long rentals it often makes sense to drop the car after a far-flung trip and re-collect for the next outing — Limassol has plenty of city offices, and daily city-centre parking can cost more than a short break in the rental.
