Europcar
Airport desk · Open until 23:00 · European network coverage
Quick Facts
Overview
Europcar's main advantage at Paphos Airport is its late closing time — 23:00 — which makes it one of the few options for very late arrivals. Beyond that, the value proposition is weak compared to local operators, with high excess charges and daily fees for extras that local companies include free.
WhatsApp & Communication
No WhatsApp. Contact via phone, email, or the Europcar app. Standard corporate response times apply.
Pricing & Fees
Headline rates of €22–€85/day escalate quickly once child seats, CDW, and second driver fees are added. A week's family rental can cost €300–€400 more than with a local operator.
Family Features
Child seats and baby seats available at daily charge. Fleet includes 7-seaters and minivans.
Our Verdict
Only recommended if you're arriving after 22:00 and haven't pre-arranged with a local 24-hour operator like Elephant or RentGo. For any planned booking, local companies offer significantly better value.
