Some one suggested Bird Car Hire in North Cyprus. I looked at the web site and the dates I put in was

4th May to 1st June 29days for £15.75 per day and for 154 days they wanted £17.35 per day. I would have thought the longer the hire the cheaper it would be. Kyrenia Castle can do it for £15 per day.

I am looking for a better deal. The type of car is some thing like a Ford Focus. I have seen £9 per day

As any one got any other outlets ?.

Don't just go on price!I got a cheap deal with Baspinar a couple of years ago and spent the first 3 days of my holiday fighting to get a decent driveable vehicle.The one they provided was unbelievable! In all the years with Bird I have never had a problem. Collect at airport and return to same.Be careful!!!

all Ismael at A-one rentals. He will give you a good deal on long term rentals. He does free pick up from Ercan and £25 from Larnaca. Greta service & great cars! Tel 0542 8523006 they also have a website - someone will have the address, but best to call and discuss long term!

Once again thanks to all you replys. I take the point of cheap deal and not the best of back up service.
