Almost all car rental suppliers in the Republic of Cyprus explicitly forbid taking vehicles across the Green Line into Northern Cyprus. If you cross, all insurance coverages (CDW, Third-Party, Theft) are automatically voided. Third-party insurance purchased at the checkpoint does not cover any damage to the rental car itself, leaving you 100% liable for repairs, repatriation, or total loss, plus substantial supplier contract breach penalties.
Driving is on the left-hand side of the road in Nicosia and throughout Cyprus, a legacy of British administration. The driver sits on the right-hand side of the vehicle, and priority is given to traffic coming from the right at roundabouts.
In Nicosia, double yellow lines painted along the curb mean strictly no waiting or parking at any time under threat of an immediate police fine and vehicle towing. A single yellow line indicates restricted waiting/loading hours (typically prohibited between 07:00 and 19:00, unless posted otherwise).
Most major car rental brands in Nicosia require a physical credit card in the lead driver's name to hold a pre-authorization deposit of €800 to €2,000. Some independent local suppliers accept debit cards, but only under the condition that you purchase their daily premium zero-deductible insurance policy.
