Car hire in Polis

Have a car delivered to your Polis or Latchi stay by a local company. Zero-deposit and no-credit-card choices exist, and protection levels show up before you reserve.

Cheap car hire with Polis delivery included

Every price here includes delivery and collection in Polis. Most start with Minimum cover, so check what each car adds before you choose.

Choose a vehicle for the western-coast stay

Should the delivery be booked for Polis or Latchi?

Choose the place that matches your property and agree the address with the company. Polis and Latchi are booked separately.

Choose the place

Choose Polis for a Polis address. For the harbour area, book Latchi delivery and confirm the entrance to your property.

Agree the time

Keep your booked number on and tell the company if plans change. Wait for a confirmed delivery time.

Inspect the car

Check the fuel, condition and extras at handover. Confirm how and where to return the car before they leave.

For a Latchi property, book delivery in Latchi; some cars are available there for these dates. The deals and prices on this page are for Polis.

The Polis totals already include delivery and collection charges, which vary between cars. Compare the full totals and do not add the charges again.

Want the car when you land? Choose Paphos Airport collection. For town or harbour delivery, plan your own trip from the airport first.

Does Full Coverage remove all liability?

Not always. A car with no deposit can come with Full and still leave you a damage contribution; only paid Plus clears it.

If the car asks for a credit card, bring the main driver’s own physical, embossed card. Debit cards need the same, and both the booking and voucher must accept them.

The upfront payment is 15 to 20% of the rental. Delivery can raise the full price without counting towards that share.

How long is the Paphos Airport arrival drive to Polis and Latchi?

Polis is 50.8 kilometres from Paphos Airport, about an hour, and Latchi 55 kilometres, around seventy-five minutes. The cards show other drives from Paphos Airport.

From Larnaca Airport, allow 150 minutes to either town: Polis is 163.8 kilometres and Latchi 168 kilometres. Add time for the airport, traffic and the last streets.

The Polis time ends in town and the Latchi time near the harbour, not at your door. Staying in Coral Bay? Book that delivery instead.

A Polis or Latchi base does not permit Akamas driving

Akamas Reserve and its access roads are off limits. Staying nearby, choosing an SUV or buying more cover does not change that.

Baths of Adonis waterfall, Blue Lagoon, Avakas Gorge, Kavo Gkreko National Park and Lara Bay turtle beach are off limits too, with their access roads. Everywhere else, stay on paved public roads.

Agree parking with your property, as delivery does not include it. Single yellow lines are for loading and unloading; on double yellow lines you may not wait or park.

Prepare the car before leaving the meeting

Keep left in Cyprus. Right-hand steering is usual, but check the controls and gearbox of your car while it is parked.

Check the controls

Make sure every approved driver knows the car before setting off. Even with an automatic, the driving position may feel new.

Respect signed limits

Plan on 50 km/h through towns, 80 km/h elsewhere and 65 to 100 km/h on motorways, unless a sign says otherwise.

Check passenger safety

Seat belts for all and proper child seats for children. Look over any seats you ordered when the car is delivered.

Save incident contacts

Emergency number: 112. Tell the agent about an insured incident without delay and get a police report unless it says you do not need one.

Can you return a Polis rental at either airport?

Some cars allow Polis delivery with a return at Paphos Airport or Larnaca Airport. Choose the airport before you compare prices, as each has its own quote.

Choose the endpoint

Choose Paphos Airport or Larnaca Airport as the return place. A town return does not include an airport return unless agreed.

Get return directions

Ask for the company’s meeting point, number and return check. Public terminal parking may not be the return point.

Plan the departure

Allow time for the drive from your address, fuel and the return check before your flight. Ask before changing the return time.

The drive times start at the airports. Plan your return from your own property to the agreed return point, not by reversing them.

Polis delivery prices through the year

Each bar is the lowest day rate for a seven-day hire with Polis delivery and collection. Latchi prices are kept separate.

These daily prices include delivery. The minimum charge is one twenty-four-hour day, and any further day started is charged in full. Enter your real meeting times when you search.

Confirm passengers, belongings and approved drivers

All the cars shown seat five, but luggage space differs. Check the car suits your group before delivery.

Allow luggage room

Check the boot with all the seats you need in use. Large bags or equipment may need a bigger car.

Arrange restraints

Book the right child seats and check them at the handover. Children need the correct seat even on the shortest first trip.

Approve another driver

Add the second driver to your agreement before they drive. Their age and licence experience must meet the car’s rules.

Keep pets in carriers

Pets are fine if small and in a carrier for each journey. Make sure the carrier fits in the cabin or boot.

Check the cover each car starts with

Most of these cars begin at TPL, with no cover for damage to the hire car. A few include Full and still keep a damage contribution.

Minimum coverageIncluded as standard
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
  • Damage to your hire car (not included)
Basic coverage
  • Limited collision cover (CDW) (included)
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
  • Glass and tyre damage (not included)
Full Coverage
  • Limited driver liability (Super CDW) (included)
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
Full Coverage Plus
  • Full damage cover (included)
  • No driver liability for accident damage (included)

Plus can clear both figures. With paid Full, some cars still hold a deposit and damage contribution; with paid Plus, both go.

Some cars stop at Basic. There is no Full or Plus, so even with paid CDW you keep a deposit and contribution.

Some upgrades change nothing. A few cars keep an identical deposit and contribution through paid Basic and Full, and offer no Plus.

No deposit is not full cover. Full on a zero-deposit car can still leave a damage contribution; paying for Plus removes it while the deposit stays at zero.

Windscreen, cabin, wheels and underbody fall outside standard cover, and neglect or deliberate vandalism cancels it. Akamas, the other banned roads and Northern Cyprus stay off limits at every level.

Licences to show at delivery

Bring the original national licence, written in Latin script and valid until the car is returned. Copies or digital versions do not count.

International permit

An IDP is strongly advised when your licence is only valid at home, but it goes with the original licence, not instead of it.

Driver eligibility

Check the age and driving experience rules on your Polis car, including for any extra driver.

You can drive in Cyprus on a UK photocard licence. An old paper-only one may need updating or an IDP.

Fuel and inspection at the end of the hire

At the Polis return, the company checks the fuel and condition.

Return fuel

  • Put back the fuel you started with. The company bills a shortfall at its own rate and gives nothing back for extra.

Return condition

  • The company charges for washing if dirt stops the inspection.

Budget for parking, fuel and fines yourself. Agree any extension with the agent in advance.

The car must stay out of Northern Cyprus

You cannot take this car into Northern Cyprus, whichever road you take from Polis.

Local delivery or an airport return does not change the rules on where you can drive in Cyprus.

Cancellation notice and booking changes

To change the car or dates, cancel this booking and book again.

Cancellation notice

Most bookings need seven days’ notice, convertibles and luxury cars thirty, and a few just twenty-four hours. Late cancelling, or missing the meeting without agreement, means losing the advance.

Refund request

Send support your cancellation request with your voucher. An eligible advance is refunded within fourteen days of your request, less 6% of the advance for processing.

Polis and Latchi rental questions

Are Polis and Latchi the same delivery location?

No, they are booked separately. Some cars can be delivered in Latchi, but the deals and prices on this page are for Polis. Choose the place that matches your property.

Do the Polis prices include both handovers?

Yes. Every featured total includes delivery and collection. The charges vary between companies and are already in the price shown.

Does included Full cover remove the damage contribution?

Not on every car. Some no-deposit cars include Full but keep a damage contribution. Paid Plus removes it, with no deposit added.

Can I return the car at either airport?

Some cars can be delivered in Polis and returned at Paphos Airport or Larnaca Airport. Choose your airport, then follow the company’s return directions. Car hire in Paphos works the same way: town delivery, and airport returns on cars that offer them.

Does staying in Latchi allow driving into Akamas?

No. Akamas Reserve and the roads to it are off limits, whatever car or cover you pick and wherever you stay.
