The biggest trap at Paphos Airport is turning up with only a debit card, as 13 of the 19 rental desks insist on a credit card for the deposit. While all counters sit in the airport terminal, deposits can reach as high as £1,712 with Carwiz. Alamo keeps people waiting 26 minutes on average at the desk, whereas Drive averages 10 minutes and Carwiz takes 6 minutes. Given Cyprus has narrow village streets and tight coastal parking spaces, picking a larger vehicle than you need will only complicate parking.

Only 86% of prices at Paphos Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

A Compact car like a Ford Focus averages £41 a day at Paphos Airport for October 2026 and fits 5 people. It seats 5 people but holds 3 bags, so a full group with lots of luggage would need an Intermediate like a Nissan Qashqai at £61 for 4 bags. A smaller Economy car like a Ford Fiesta costs £30 a day and carries 2 bags, making tight seafront parking far easier. Automatics account for 58% of cars on offer and cost £40 a day compared to £35 for a manual, while electric and hybrid options are practically non-existent.
