Contact & Opening Hours
Quick Facts
Overview
PafoRentals has been renting cars in Paphos since 1985 — one of the oldest continuously operating car hire businesses on the island. While newer operators have flashier websites and slicker social media, PafoRentals has something none of them can buy: four decades of trust built one satisfied customer at a time. The family behind the business has watched Paphos transform from a quiet agricultural town into one of the Mediterranean's most popular destinations, adapting every step of the way while maintaining the personal, transparent approach that has kept customers returning year after year.
WhatsApp & Communication
WhatsApp contact is available and responsive. The family handles all bookings, confirmations, and delivery arrangements through direct messaging. Communication is professional and efficient — customers describe clear, friendly responses with all pricing and delivery details confirmed in writing before arrival. Many returning customers book months in advance with a simple WhatsApp message confirming dates.
Pricing & Fees
Daily rates of €18–€50 with zero excess and zero deposit. Full insurance included in every quoted price — no surprises at the desk, no CDW upsell. Payment by cash or card on delivery. Free child seats, baby seats, booster seats, and extra driver included as standard. Free delivery within the Paphos district. Rates sit slightly above the cheapest local operators but below international chains, and unlike chains the all-in total never changes from quote to delivery.
Family Features
Child seats, baby seats, and booster seats are all provided free — no daily charge, no booking fee. The fleet includes 7-seater vehicles. Free delivery to hotels, villas, and apartments across the Paphos district including Coral Bay, Chloraka, Pegeia, and Peyia. PafoRentals' strong track record with repeat customers includes many families who have used them across multiple Cyprus holidays.
Fleet & Vehicles
PafoRentals maintains a fleet of well-serviced vehicles from compact economy cars to 7-seat people carriers. The fleet prioritises reliability and service record over model year — not the newest in Paphos but consistently well-maintained and properly insured. Automatic transmission available across several classes. SUVs available for mountain driving. The emphasis is on dependable, clean vehicles rather than the latest specifications.
Booking Experience
Contact via WhatsApp or phone (+357 26 949000), state your dates, vehicle preference, and delivery address. The family confirms availability and price quickly.

Customer Experience
The PafoRentals customer experience is characterised above all by consistency. First-time visitors frequently describe it as a revelation — professional, transparent, genuinely friendly, without the hidden fee stress of airport chains. Returning visitors — some booking with PafoRentals every year for a decade or more — describe a relationship of genuine trust. The family knows many regular customers personally. The 9.0+ scores across all review platforms reflect a business that rarely has a bad day and never has a bad policy.
