We rented an SUV for a family of 5 in Protaras. The car had full insurance and was delivered to Larnaca airport. No credit card needed at any point. Kids loved the beach drives and we felt totally free to explore the island. Excellent service.

Finally a car rental that doesn't need a credit card! I booked a Fiat Panda for a week. Compact, easy to park near the beaches, and very fuel-efficient. Paid in cash and everything went smoothly. Protaras is gorgeous when you have your own wheels.

Really happy with the booking process and the car quality. Got a VW Golf for 5 days. The team at pickup was friendly and the car was spotless. Cape Greco sea caves are a must - you need a car to get there properly. Totally worth it.
