Fontana were reccommended by Cyprus 44 as being suitable and reccemmended. If you are not insured in The TRNC



we need to be told. Just look at the banner at the top of this page?

Anytime we have had to hire a car in the south and come over to the north we have had to buy extra insurance at the border.

I hired from fontana at pafos last year.

Had to buy insurance at the border to be able to drive car in North, but thats TRNC regulations.

I am told that if i had accident in the north, policy from south would cover everything but i would have to get the car to the border.

The car was all battered and scratched, but the rep noted this on agreement, so it didnt really matter if I added any scratches.

The charge is for the additional insurance that is required in the north. To cover you for 18 days the extra insurance will vary depending upon the car size; small cars are €60, medium €70, 4X4s €90 and convertibles and MPVs €140.

If you choose the insurance through Avis and break down in the north then the breakdown recovery service will come and collect you.

If you choose to pay the extra insurance directly at the border yourself then you’ll need to double check whether this is included or not as Avis breakdown cover wouldn’t extend to the north if you’d paid at the border yourself.

I hope that makes sense!

Hi, I hired a car 1 month ago in the South and was told at the border we can now buy fully comp insurance, it was 70EURO for 1 month!

They also told me that as I had hired a car from Avis, that Avis would normally arrange the insurance for the whole ilsand from the UK when I mae the booking if I had requested this. I have since checked this with Avis and this is correct, their quote was for 3 days only, but will do it for longer but told me to phone each time as it varies depending on exchange rates etc..

Here is my email:
