I'm visiting the North for a couple of weeks in July and would like to know where to go for arranging a family hire car... looking to get a taxi from Larnaca and have a car delivered to a villa... rates appear to be around £20/day.. wanted to budget for 12 days all in.. I know there always hidden extras ! so if there is any words of wisdom out there it would be much appreciated.

Hi Richy

I'd start with http://www.birdrentacar.com They will give you a quotation. From there you can barter with other companies. To tell you the truth we have hired from Bird and have found them to be competitive and very reliable.

Hi Richy;



I would recommend Acmenya Car Rentals in Alsancak



Cars are Ford Fiesta/Focus and VW Polo.



Prices are gbp 20 per day included vat and insurance. No hidden extras!!!



acmenya@ebim.net or http://www.acmenyacyprus.com

Hi Richy



We have used Bellapais . £40 from Larnaca in a Vito (which seats 6 and takes lots of luggage). Car hire is pretty much the same as everywhere really - we are paying £15 for Ford Focus (April). Their website is http://www.bellapaisrentacar.com

Most companies do seem to charge roughly the same and I think everyone seems pretty happy with who they have chosen so I would say go with anyone who has been recommended on here.

I would second Bird Rent a Car in Karaoglanoglu. They have never let us down and will collect you from the airport then deliver your car to you at your convenience. The last time we hired with them we had a Citroen Picasso. I honestly cannot remember what the rate was but you will get a discount by booking on line.

Hi Karen and Jo

Have just looked at Bird Rent a Car, and they offer 25% discount if you rent a car from them through a direct contact.

Do you think mentioning either of your names would work???? Would you mind????

Pacific Rent a Car have always been very good as are Gunray Rent a Car. We have used Gunray twice now and they deliver wherever you want and whatever time (within reason). I'll email you some details as if you mention us they may offer you some sort of discount

The direct contact basically means booking online so you will get the discount anyway. They are very helpful and Dilber (a lady) will email you with a quote.

You can guess I'm new to the internet and all its wonders ! I'll certainly email them for a quote, we will be staying in Karaoglanoglu in July anyway so we may as well shop local !!

Gunray always good for us - Ozgur will reply personally to your e mail and give discounts. Always on time, will pick up from airport and drive you to your apartment if you wish or you can drive yourself. When you go back, you can either be picked up and driven to airport, or leave the car there for him to collect. Would recommend his service every time.
