🏆 Our Verdict: Leo Opsimos Rentals vs Simila Car Rentals

Both Leo Opsimos and Simila Car Rentals are outstanding operators and genuine alternatives to each other. Leo edges ahead on overall score — he has a longer track record (1997 vs 2015), serves more customers, and his pricing starts marginally lower. Simila's advantage is their office in Kato Paphos if you want to walk in before booking, newer 2025 model vehicles including large 8-seaters, and coverage at Larnaca Airport for shorter rentals. If you're arriving Mon–Sat at Paphos Airport and want the most trusted option, Leo is the call. If you need a large SUV, an 8-seater, or want to collect from Larnaca, Simila is the answer.
