Almost everything here. Book early, keep checking, rebook if it drops.

What this means for your booking

  • Check your card limit before you travel. The typical hold here is €900 on the main driver's card. It is a pre-authorisation rather than a charge, but it has to fit.
  • A month is not four times a week. The median week here is €334 and the median month €1381 — worse per day, which is why back-to-back rentals often beat one long booking on hires of 40 days or more.
  • Airport or town desk? We have not measured which is cheaper yet, so we won't guess. We are measuring it now and will publish the numbers. See every pick-up point here.

Getting to the car

If you land late. Only 26% of the suppliers we priced shut by 22:00, and the typical desk closes at 00:00 — a late arrival is less risky here than at most airports.
What it costs. 11% of suppliers here will not collect a 23:30 arrival at all. Of those that will, 34% add a fee — typically €40 on top of the price you were quoted for a daytime pick-up. A 06:00 pick-up is similar, about €40, and 12% of suppliers do not offer one. Measured across 455 offers that publish their desk hours; a supplier that does not publish them is not counted as open.

Not every supplier here hands you the keys in the terminal. Across 51 searches, this is how collection splits:

  • Free shuttle service 56%
  • In terminal 25%
  • Meet & Greet 18%

Budget time for a shuttle. 56% of suppliers here are off-airport, which is usually why they are cheaper. It is a real cost in minutes at both ends, and worth weighing against the saving.

32 suppliers appeared here across our searches, at several separate pick-up points. See which is nearest you and what each costs.

The fine print, measured

These conditions vary more between airports than most people expect. We measure each of them everywhere we sweep: deposits · debit cards · second-driver fees · desk hours.

53%
Full to full

Collect full, return full. The cleanest policy — you only pay for what you use.

100%
unlimited mileage

Effectively standard here, so a capped car is the one to look at twice.

0%
allow crossing a border

Well short of universal — filter for it if you plan to drive out of the country.

44%
accept a debit card

More flexible than most markets, but still check before you travel.

Deposit banding, as the suppliers classify it themselves: average deposit 67% · high deposit 16% · low deposit 13% · no deposit 4% · low deposit option available 1%.

What each supplier actually costs here

32 suppliers appeared in our searches. These are the ones you are most likely to be offered — chosen by how often they came up, then ordered by what they really cost, which is rarely the same order as the advertised price.

Prices are for a one-week hire. Mixing rental lengths would make the column meaningless — a fee charged once per rental is a very different share of a week than of a month — so this table is built from week-long searches only.

Tap a price to search Larnaca Airport for your own dates.

The cheapest advertised price is not the cheapest rental here. GreenMotion advertises from €126 but charges €32 for a second driver, which puts it behind U-Save at €131 all-in.

Deposits vary far more than prices. Carwiz holds €2,000 on the main driver's card against Finalrentals's €200. It is released after you return the car, but it has to fit.

"With 2nd driver" is the advertised rental plus that supplier's additional-driver fee — our definition of the total, and the only one we rank on. Full cover is quoted separately and never added in: many travellers hold annual excess insurance or rely on a card, and folding in an assumed purchase is precisely the trick this site exists to expose. Medians across 51 searches; a supplier that does not publish a fee is not counted as free. How we measure this.

What a rental costs at Larnaca Airport

Larnaca Airport: what a week's car hire costs per day at the low end, by pick-up month. For Nov 2026: €12.63 for the rental.

Per day, from the searches we have run here. Cheapest found is the single cheapest car, at the price shown when booking (it appears once enough searches record it; the deposit and any desk charges are on each car in the search). Low end: only 1 car in 10 costs less than this. Middle is the typical car. + second driver and + full cover add each car's own quoted fee and DiscoverCars' Full Coverage price - only cars that quote them count, never as free; those rows appear as searches record them (from 27 September). The rental price only: a second driver, cover and fuel come on top, and prices move daily, so check your own dates.

How these numbers were measured

We search this market on a schedule through DiscoverCars, at several rental lengths, and keep what came back. Each figure above is the median across 51 searches, not a single snapshot and not an estimate.

  • Second-driver share — the percentage of priced offers whose supplier charges a fee for an additional driver. Offers that do not publish a fee are excluded from the share rather than counted as free.
  • Typical fee — the median fee for the whole rental, not per day. One fee per rental, however many drivers.
  • Deposit — the median amount the supplier pre-authorises on the main driver's card at the counter. It is released after you return the car.
  • Cancel free — the share of offers that can be cancelled without charge.

Car hire is priced dynamically and these are typical values, not quotes. Availability and price are confirmed on DiscoverCars before you pay. We publish the aggregates; the underlying records stay ours.

Measured from 51 searches of this market between 20 September 2026 and 16 October 2026. Car hire is priced dynamically: these are typical values, not quotes, and the only way to know your price is to search your dates.
