Fines for violation of traffic regulations

Fines in Cyprus must not be paid on-site. Tickets are paid in police station or in municipality. See the list of general fines:

Violation of overtaking rules - € 55
Smoking in a vehicle in the presence of underage - € 85
Parking on pavements - € 85
Not let a pedestrian cross - € 85
Drinking or eating while driving - € 85
Passing through red traffic light - € 85
Absence of a triangular reflector - € 20
Speeding fine depends on the amount of kilometres exceeded and can be 1-230 EUR. Exceeding the speed limit by 75% leads to the penalty, the amount of which is fixed in the court.

In spite of the fact that fines are not so large in comparison with other European countries, observation of the traffic laws in Cyprus is strictly controlled. So it's better not to violate them.

Speed limitations

Speed limitations in Cyprus are indicated on the traffic signs. General limitations are 50 km/h within inhabited areas, 80 km/h outside inhabited areas and 100 km/h for highways. Remember that the more you exceed, the bigger the fine. In addition, watch the traffic signs, as some parts of the roads have their own limitations.

Driving regulations to note renting a car in Cyprus

To make your trip the safest one, we recommend you to become familiar with general traffic laws in Cyprus.

Dim light has to be switched on in one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise.

Children aged to 10 years can go in a car if only a child safety seat is available. Children up to 5 years old must not go in a forward seat.

All passengers must be buckled up.

Using a cell phone while driving a vehicle is also prohibited.

A vehicle must be equipped with two triangular reflectors.

Fuel

One can fill a vehicle with non-leaded RON 95 or RON 98 petrol and diesel engine. There are no gas fuel stations in Cyprus. Note that it is prohibited to transport gasoline in a can.

Average prices for fuel:

RON95 petrol - 1.34 EUR
RON98 petrol - 1.39 EUR
Diesel engine - 1.41 EUR

Diesel engine is almost equivalent to petrol, so the choice of a car to rent in Cyprus is not conditioned by the engine type.

We've got tired of traveling on arranged tours. All of them are a bit primitive. Recently we've decided to visit Greece by car. Impressions are quite different and you can see as much as possible, but the level of spending is much lower. We've rent a car via this site. We've found everything there, chose a car and paid for it. Everything is very simple, understandable and convenient. I recommend it to everybody.

I had to travel a lot to different cities of Macedonia on business. In order not to spend a lot of money on trips, I rented a car via this aggregator before the departure. The choice was made in a few minutes, I paid for a car via the site, and there was no problem with the car at the destination place. I recommend it to those who save time and money. The site is reliable, the sample is large even for captious people.

I used the services of a wide variety of car rental sites, and also rented a car at the destination place for many times. For some time past I use only this resource. For me, the advantages are obvious. It's easy rent and possibility to pay immediately via the site. By the way, you can forget about the situation when there is no suitable car for you, as it's often happened when renting a car at the destination place. I constantly recommend it to my friends.
