from multi national to family owned car hire firms. You will find car
rental companies in all major towns, holiday resorts as well as at Larnaca
and Paphos airports. In Cyprus self drive cars are also known as Z cars.
This is because their number plates are red and the first registration
letter of all rental cars starts with the letter Z. In general hiring
a car in Cyprus its not expensive. In Cyprus hiring a car is recommended

Cypriot towns and resorts.
