Can anyone recommend car hire around Alsancak / Girne areas ? We have had a couple of quotes from Hotel Pia Dora and Green Rent a Car but both seem excessive.

Sorry deecyprus4, didn't quite understand your banter. Are you saying that Atlantic, next to the Dome Hotel, offered a good quote ?

You could try http://www.birdrentacar.com/ Have found them to be reliable and will give you a good price, they also do reply fairly quickly to emails.

Birdrentacar and Sevener both quoting £21. Seems like my quote of £18 is good afterall. Hadn't taken seasonal variance into account. Had got it for £14 in March. For your information Green rentacar are offering £18/week for Sept.

Thanks to all.

Hi Badger

Try EVA rent a car they only chage £16 a day which I think is the cheapest around, they are situated opp the Colony Hotel inside the Petrol Station we have used them for a couple of years, and they are the cheapest for Airport pickups and all the Owners in our apts (16) of them for Car Hire. their phone number is 0533 860 7171 Also speaks English, If you say Sheila from Oasis that might help you getting it at the same price.

Hi Badger, although Bird quote £21/£22 for Fiesta or Focus on their website, if you email them, they will normally give you a cheaper price than what is quoted. We have been given £18 inclusive of CDW per day for Focus in Sept. However, prices quoted by Smithy for Eva seem very good indeed. Good luck.

spud,



No is the simple answer.



A couple of people have tried and succeded in going across without the rental company knowing, but car numbers have been taken, passed to the agents and there is a good chance those people will not be able to hire again in TRNC.



The rental contract on, I believe, all companies agrements that you sign state "this vehicle to be used in TRNC only".

Coachie see msg 8



I have used A-one before and they were great, just booked 5 weeks car hire with Ismail and he'll be at Ercan, with car to meet me, as usual. Also if you don't want to drive straight from Airport he'll pick you up & deliver car to your hotel instead.

Just hired a focus for three days from Baspinar rental in Girne at £15 per day including collision damage waiver thinggy. I do think they are on the 'cusp' of a season rate change though, so may be more very soon.
