Top tips for hiring a car in Northern Cyprus
- Car hire in Northern Cyprus is a fun and flexible way to explore the island at your leisure. The major roads on the northern part of the island tend to be in good condition, so you should only need a two-wheel drive car to get yourself around. If you plan to stick to the main roads and the towns then you will only need a compact car to get you from A to B and also to make parking easier. For those cruising along the coastline, try out a convertible and see Northern Cyprus from a different perspective.
- When driving in Northern Cyprus it is important that you stick to the rules that have been put in place for drivers as there are very strict repercussions for those that do not. The legal limit for alcohol is 0.49 mg of alcohol per ml of blood and, if pulled over by the police, you may have to perform a breath test to prove you haven’t been drinking. You must also make sure that everyone in the car is wearing a seat belt, or you risk an on-the-spot fine. Children that are aged 10 or below must have an appropriate child seat and are not able to sit in the front of the car. You are also only allowed to use you mobile phone if you have a hands-free kit.
- When you are driving around the island in your Northern Cyprus car hire, you will not be short of petrol stations. With there being a large selection of petrol stations to fill up at on the main roads, it’s unlikely you will find yourself running low on petrol. You can even take the time to find the best price available with such a good choice. There is also on-street parking in the urban areas in northern Cyprus, such as Famagusta, so you shouldn’t find it hard to park your car.

FAQs about hiring a car in Northern Cyprus
Should I hire a car in Northern Cyprus?
You should hire a car in Northern Cyprus as it gives you the freedom and flexibility to explore the country at your own speed rather than waiting for alternative methods of transport such as a bus or taxi. For example, if you wanted to travel from the Famagusta region to the Golden Beach on the Karpass Peninsula, then you can reach it in about 1h 55min. This same journey would take a lot longer via bus and also would be very expensive by taxi, so a car hire is a great option.
What is driving like in Northern Cyprus?
You will find driving in Cyprus is quite similar to that of driving in the United Kingdom, so it shouldn’t take you long to get used to your car hire. For example, you will drive on the left side of the road just like you do in the UK, with the steering wheel being on the same side of the car as well. The speed limits are also fairly similar to the UK, so you will know how fast you can travel. In urban areas the limit is 50kph (31mph), in rural areas you can drive as fast as 80kph (50mph), whilst on motorways you are able to drive as fast as 100kph (62mph).
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Northern Cyprus?
You need to ensure that you meet the minimum age requirements when you are getting a car hire in Northern Cyprus, so it is best to check with the agencies before you arrive as they are likely to have varying policies in place. In general you need to be 21 years of age to hire a car though, with many of the car hire companies also having a surcharge for those that are under a specific age, such as 25. If you are under this age it is also likely that you will have a smaller selection of cars to choose from as the agencies often reserve the more powerful vehicles for drivers with more experience.
