A valid driving licence held for at least one year, a passport or ID, and a payment method. Licences in Latin script (EU, UK and most countries) are accepted; licences in Cyrillic or other non-Latin scripts need an International Driving Permit alongside them.

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.

Completely hassle-free pickup and return at Paphos Airport. Fair price, no hidden fees, no deposit — exactly what you want after a long flight. Highly recommended.

Achim L., Germany — 2026-03-11, 5/5

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.
