Hiring a car is by far the best way to get around in Paphos, especially since the Cypriots drive on the left hand side of the road throughout the island (same as in the UK).  This remains one of the legacies of British rule, despite the fact that in both Greece and Turkey, they drive on the right hand side of the road !!
 

SOME TIPS WHEN DRIVING YOUR HIRE CAR IN PAPHOS
Road signs indicate the speed limits with Motorway signs in green and normal signs in blue. Most of the distances and speed limits are posted in kilometres and km/h respectively. Speed limits are generally as follows unless road signs indicate otherwise:

Drive your hire car, observing the maximum and minimum speed limits set by law, and drive at a speed in which you are able to stop safely, on your own side of the road and in the distance you cansee to be clear. Any traffic violations in your hire car will inevitably be charged back to you.
 

TRAFFIC LIGHTS
The traffic light sequencing and rules in Paphos will be familiar to most people. However, many local drivers will drive over the white line and well into the junction before stopping. They may not stop at all. Failing to comply with the red light is a common occurrence.

So when driving you hire car in Paphos, do not assume that if your light is green it is safe to go. Always treat traffic light controlled junctions with extreme caution and ensure that you can change course, slow or stop if necessary.


JUNCTIONS
When exiting from a side road in Paphos, ensure you can see and that other drivers can see you. If you can't, edge out slowly to get your view. Unfortunately, vehicles often travel at excessive speeds on narrow roads.

Bear in mind that causing you to slowdown, swerve or stop are considered normal by many locals in Paphos who are trying to get out of a junction or crossing your path.


SEAT BELTS
Your hire car will most likely be fitted with front and rear seat belts, and so it will be compulsory for ALL passengers travelling in the hire car to wear a seat belt.

Another thing to bear in mind is that children between the ages of 6 and 10 may only occupy the front seat if a child's seat belt is fitted, child seats etc. can be provider by our local car hire suppliers in Paphos but must be booked in advance.


ACCIDENTS
Whilst driving your hire car in Paphos it is advisable to carry a disposable camera and in case of an accident DO NOT MOVE THE CAR, pull the handbrake, take the Keys out and take Photos AND WAIT FOR THE POLICE TO ARRIVE.

Unfortunately, the British method of exchanging details does not work in Paphos. Please also note that you must inform our local car hire supplier immediately afterwards about the accident.


FUEL
Motor fuel for your hire car can be bought at petrol stations throughout Paphos. One of the best things is that fuel prices in Paphos are roughly half the price in the UK. An indication of the fuel prices in Paphos is as follows, (Please note that the prices are for indication only and subject to fluctuation):-
Premium petrol (super) and unleaded 35-40 cents per litre
Regular grade 35-40 cents per litre
Diesel 10-15 cents per litre.

Most petrol stations close on Sundays and public holidays, however, petrol stations in the Capital and all seaside areas are equipped with 24-hour petrol vending machines, where you enter your card details and the amount you want to spend. Tell the machine which pump number you are using and the pump will stop when it reaches the correct cash amount and you simply drive away in your hire car.


PARKING
Numerous places to park your hire car can be found in town centers, charging about 50 cents for a half day’s parking. Parking meters charge approx. 20 cents an hour and no fee is required on Saturday afternoons, Sundays and Public Holidays.


PLANNING YOUR JOURNEYS
Leave sufficient time for your journey allowing for traffic and weather conditions. Leaving late tends to result in excessive speed, fines and accidents.

You should also ensure that you have your journey properly planned. In order to help you do this, most of our car hire suppliers in Paphos will be more than happy to supply you with a road map. This will also give you ideas of places to visit in Paphos.

In essence, driving a hire car in Paphos will be very similar to the UK, except you should drive very defensively. Remember, the locals are rushing around, no doubt trying to make your holiday a relaxing and enjoyable one, so they may sometimes forget about the courtesies of the roads and leave you wondering “what exactly happened here?”. Simply drive as cautiously as the road conditions allow you to and get the maximum out of your hire car during your holiday in Paphos.
