Is car rental insurance included in Cyprus?

At MAS Cars full insurance (CDW, Theft Protection and Super CDW) is included in the price, with zero excess options available, so there is no forced upsell at the counter.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Cyprus?

MAS Cars rents from age 19 with no driving experience required. Drivers aged 19–24 pay a young-driver fee of €10 per day, capped at €90 per rental.

Can I take a rental car to Northern Cyprus?

Insurance issued in the Republic of Cyprus is not valid in the north, and MAS Cars rental terms do not cover crossings of the Green Line.

How do I book a car with MAS Cars?

Book on mascars.co or message WhatsApp +357 99927387. Replies typically arrive within minutes, seven days a week, in English, Russian or Greek. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.

Can you rent a car in Cyprus with no deposit?

Yes. MAS Cars takes no security deposit and places no hold on your card. Full insurance with zero excess is already included in the quoted price, so nothing is blocked at pickup.

What customers say (Google rating 5.0★ from 98+ verified reviews)

As a local I've used the big international rental brands and MAS Cars is far more personal, faster on WhatsApp and cheaper for a comparable car. Full insurance is a huge plus.

Rented for 4 months while working in Limassol. Long-term rate was excellent, insurance and servicing included, and the team swapped the car when I needed a bigger one. Zero stress.

First time driving on the left in Cyprus — the MAS Cars team walked me through everything and even took a short drive with me to build my confidence. Full insurance, no deposit, and the exact car I booked was waiting at the airport.
