Insurance & Damage Excess 

All of our cars are third party insured. Hence, in case of an accident, you will not be liable unless the damage is attributable to your fault. Furthermore, your car comes with our standard collision damage waiver (CDW) and damage excess of £500- £1200 (depending on the category of car) which do not cover tyres and windscreen.

Economy & Budget Cars: damage excess of £500

Family Compact Cars: damage excess of £750

People Carrier Budget: damage excess of £1000

People Carrier Comfort: damage excess of £1200

You may, however, inquire about the availability of Full Insurance for £10 - £15 per day, which includes tire and windscreen protection and also reduces the Damage Excess from £500 - £1200 to only £50. Please note that neither third-party insurance nor the extended coverage includes cigarette burns in cars.

Please adhere to the following guidelines to drive the rented car in South Cyprus:

2. Obtain the necessary permission paper from us, priced at £45.00. This paper permits you to drive the car from the Turkish border to the Greek border.

3. Present the permission paper to the officer at the Turkish border.

4. After crossing the Turkish border, you will reach the Greek border. At this point, you must show your passports and acquire Greek Insurance and Road Tax, costing 25 Euros (subject to change), required for driving in South Cyprus.

5. Purchase the insurance and Road Tax from the Greek Border offices.

6. Commence driving in South Cyprus.

Please note that the Greek offices are exclusively located on the Metehan Border in Nicosia, and their operating hours are limited to weekdays until 14:00, with closures during Greek national holidays. Ensure you plan your holiday accordingly as failure to acquire the necessary paperwork will prevent you from driving in South Cyprus. To check if the Greek offices are open, you can contact the Greek insurance office at +357-22-454700 or the local police at +357 22802838. Bellapais Rent a Car will not be held liable if you are unable to cross the border for any reason.

Once the car crosses into South Cyprus, it will no longer be fully insured by Bellapais Rent a Car. You must purchase insurance at the Greek Border, which will only provide 3rd Party coverage. Please read the insurance terms carefully before purchasing it at the border.
