Simila Car Rentals
Julie & Simon · WhatsApp-first booking · Local insider tips included
Quick Facts
Overview
Simila Cyprus is the newest standout in Paphos car hire, and the reviews are exceptional. Simon and Julie run the entire operation through WhatsApp — and their customers love it. The experience feels less like renting a car and more like borrowing one from a well-connected local friend.
WhatsApp & Communication
WhatsApp is the primary booking channel. Simon sends all documents, the contract, payment link, and pickup confirmation via WhatsApp ahead of arrival. He meets customers at the airport personally, helps with directions to their villa, and remains available throughout the rental.
Pricing & Fees
Rates of €15–€40/day with no deposit, no credit card required, and no hidden charges. Payment by cash or debit card on delivery. Free child seats, baby seats, and second driver.
Family Features
Child and baby seats always included free. Simon will also advise on the best routes, parking, and attractions for families travelling with young children.
Our Verdict
