A deposit is a security hold applied by the local company at pickup. It is separate from your payment and covers the excess in case of damage. The deposit amount and card type required depend on the vehicle you book. Many of our vehicles are available without a deposit requirement.
It depends on the vehicle. Some vehicles require a credit card for the deposit, others accept a debit card or require no deposit at all. The specific requirement is shown during booking and in your voucher. If you do not have a credit card, filter for vehicles that accept debit cards or require no deposit.
Many vehicles accept debit cards or require no deposit. Check the vehicle details during booking. If a deposit is required and you are using a debit card, ensure your card has a sufficient available balance, as the hold will temporarily reduce your accessible funds.
The deposit hold is released by the local company after you return the vehicle without damage. The time it takes for the funds to appear in your account depends on your bank, typically within a few business days. Contact the company directly using the details in your voucher if the hold is not released promptly.
You must present a valid driving licence at pickup. Foreign licences are accepted in Cyprus, and an International Driving Permit is not mandatory but can be helpful. Minimum age and driving experience requirements vary by vehicle, so check the terms for the specific model you are booking.

Additional drivers can be added at pickup for a fee. The second driver must meet the same age and licence requirements and must present their driving licence when you collect the vehicle. This service is arranged directly with the local company.

Arrangements for out-of-hours return depend on the local company. Some offer key drop-off options, while others require return during office hours. Confirm the return procedure when you collect the vehicle or check your voucher for instructions. Late returns may incur extra charges.
