This page summarises how renting works. The binding terms are in the rental agreement you sign before you get the car. Where this page and the agreement differ, the agreement applies.

Who can rent

• Drivers aged 23 or over with at least 3 years of driving experience.
• A passport or ID card and a driving licence in Latin letters. An international licence is not needed.
• Under Cyprus law, most foreign licences are valid for visitors for a limited time. After 6 months of living in Cyprus the licence must be exchanged for a Cyprus one, or the insurer may refuse a claim.

How to book

By sending a request and signing the agreement you confirm that you have read and agree to these terms and the agreement.

• You send a request on the website, in the app or in Telegram. A request is not a booking.
• A manager checks your documents and the car’s availability and sends an offer: the car, dates, price and deposit.
• You accept the offer, then read and sign the rental agreement in the app or at our office.
• We confirm the rental and agree the time and place of the handover with you.

Prices

All prices are in euros per month of rental, including VAT. The price depends on the car and the term: the longer the term, the lower the monthly price. It includes third-party liability insurance (TPL), scheduled maintenance and delivery within Limassol.

Delivery to other cities and airports is charged separately, see Delivery and return. The full amount, the deposit and all fees are shown in the offer before you accept it.

Payment

Rent is paid monthly in advance. The first month and the deposit are paid at the handover, each following month before it starts. Once card payment online is available, you can choose it in the app.

Deposit

The deposit depends on the car and is shown in the offer. It is returned after the car is returned and inspected. We may keep all or part of it until damage, fines, tolls and other amounts connected with the rental are assessed, as the agreement sets out. See Refunds.

Extra charges

• Cleaning, if the car is returned dirty: €30.
• Refuelling, if the tank is not returned full: €100.
• Wrong fuel: €500.
• Smoking in the car: €500.
• Fines, tolls, parking and traffic violations during the rental are paid by the renter.
• Damage not covered by insurance is paid by the renter as the agreement sets out.

Insurance

The price includes third-party liability insurance (TPL) within the policy and Cyprus law. Full insurance applies only if you bought it and it is stated in the agreement. Report any accident, damage or theft to us and to the police straight away.

Using the car

Only the drivers named in the agreement may drive the car. Scheduled maintenance is done at the service centre we name. All cars have GPS trackers, used for safety and fleet management, see the Privacy policy.

Extending and returning early

You can extend the rental by agreement with a manager; an extension comes with a new agreement. If you return the car early, we recalculate the charges for the actual rental period and may apply early termination charges, as the agreement sets out. See Cancellation.

Law and disputes

These terms and the agreement are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, and disputes go to the courts of Cyprus. Please write to us first: we settle most questions ourselves.
