ALAMO Car Rental at Paphos Airport

Paphos International Airport is owned by the Republic of Cyprus, but is operated by Hermes Airport Ltd. It has been allocated the IATA code of PFO, in order to distinguish it from other airports of the world, and is found just southeast of central Paphos, on the island of Cyprus. It is quite a large airport, in comparison to others in the country, handling around 2.5 million passengers per annum. It currently has a capacity for 2.7 million per year. Buses and taxis are available for ground transportation, however, many passengers prefer to rent a car from companies such as Alamo Paphos International Airport. This car hire company is well known around the world for their competitive rates and excellent customer service.

Car hire at Paphos Airport is very popular because the main form of transport on the island is by private motor vehicle. Public transport services are limited, and there are no railway systems in place. Taxis are often used, however, they can become very expensive if extensive travelling is required. Alamo is one of the car hire companies that is best for leisure travelers, as their services are geared for persons travelling for private reasons. They have been a popular provider of car rental services for over thirty years, and have introduced many useful options for their customers. For example, they helped pioneer the concept of unlimited mileage, they were the first company with real-time internet booking capabilities and were the first company to offer online check-in services in 2005. Alamo's rental rates are very reasonable as well, and their customers have the choice of many high quality vehicles.

The Paphos International Airport car hire companies are found within the terminal building, and nearby to the baggage reclaim hall. No further form of transport is therefore necessary once arriving at the airport. Passengers are also easily able to walk to their vehicle, as all hired cars are parked nearby. The airport has just a single terminal building, which houses all facilities for departing and arriving passengers. Besides Alamo, the car rental companies of Hertz, Budget, Avis, Dollar, Thrifty, Europcar and Easycar are present as well.

Alamo's services at this rental location include the rental of child seats, satellite navigation systems and hand controls for disabled drivers. Child seats come in various sizes, therefore be sure to specify the age of your child at the time of reservation. While main roads connect the larger cities of Cyprus, a satellite navigation system can be extremely useful to all drivers, and especially to those who have not driven in this part of the country before. The device is especially useful within cities, and when driving to the smaller towns nearby. GPS units usually come pre-programmed with many points of interest, and could include a selection of different language options. It is also useful for information regarding general traffic circumstances in the nearby vicinity.

Alamo's hand controls for disabled drivers can be hired free of charge from Paphos International Airport. Hand control equipment is only for persons with a lower limb disability, and cannot be used by persons who are able to operate a car in the usual way. The device controls the brake and accelerator pedals of certain types of automatic cars, and will require an advanced reservation.

Vehicles hired from the Paphos International Airport car rental companies are in good mechanical and overall condition. They often have nice features, such as power steering, airbags, ABS brakes, air conditioning and CD players, and may come with unlimited mileage. They are also received with a full tank of fuel, and should be returned full if no fuel was purchased at the start of the rental period. However, longer car rentals usually require the customer to purchase a full tank, and then to simply return the vehicle as empty as possible, as no refunds are given for unused fuel. Always ensure that you know which type of fuel to use in your rented car, and before leaving the airport, have any emergency contact numbers that could be needed. Vehicles hired may also be returned to a location other than Paphos International Airport. One way hire services can be arranged when the vehicle is reserved, and may or may not incur additional charges.

The most popular cars hired from Alamo in Cyprus are similar to the Kia Picanto 1.0, Chevrolet Aveo 1.2, Ford Fiesta 1.4, Ford Fusion 14 and the Ford Focus 1.6. These are cars that are all available with very reasonable rental rates, and are considered as fuel efficient. The Kia Picanto seats four, but the others have room for five passengers. Although good for short or long distance journeys, these cars only have a small capacity for luggage, and for this reason, many travelers may prefer one of the larger SUV's, similar to the Nissan Terrano 2.7, or even a Van, similar to the Opel Zafira 1.8. The Suzuki Jimny is another SUV available, and from Alamo, a convertible such as the Renault Megane Cabriolet 1.8 can also be hired.

For car rental at Paphos International Airport, and from Alamo, the primary renter is required to have a valid drivers license and a major credit card, and should be at least 21 years of age or older. Further enquiries can be directed to Alamo, Paphos Airport.
