EUROPCAR Car Rental at Paphos Airport

Paphos International Airport is found in the country of Cyprus, approximately 6.5 km southeast of Paphos, a very popular town for tourists with many historical and modern attractions. The airport is known by its IATA code of PFO, and has been in operation since 1983. It is managed by the same company in control of the larger Larnaca International Airport, Hermes Airports Ltd. The Paphos and Larnaca Airports handle approximately seven million passengers per annum. There are a number of facilities available to passengers arriving in Paphos, including car rental companies such as Europcar Paphos International Airport. Europcar is well known around the world for their competitive car rental rates and their excellent customer service.

The car rental companies of Paphos Airport can be found in the arrivals area of the terminal building, and within easy walking distance of the baggage conveyor belts. The airport's terminal has a capacity for 2.7 million passengers per annum, and is therefore not an extremely large establishment. There are no people movers or shuttle services required on the airport grounds. The building is also accessible to passengers with mobility challenges. The majority of the Paphos International Airport car hire companies are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but may close during certain hours on public holidays. However, they are generally convenient for passengers on all arrival flights.

Vehicles from Europcar are recommended to be reserved in advance, and preferably online, as online booking discounts are often provided. An earlier booking is especially recommended during the busier summer months of the airport, when a large number of tourists are arriving. Many people hire a car because the public transport services in Cyprus are not very extensive, and there are no railway services available. A quote from Europcar will include Loss Damage Waiver, the airport surcharge and VAT. Customers may add extra insurance to their rental, as well as optional items of equipment, such as child seats and satellite navigation systems. These items will add a few extra Euro to the rental contract, but are often important for safety and ease of navigation in an unfamiliar city.

When making a reservation, select the return location for your vehicle. Europcar one way hires can be selected by choosing an alternative return location, and is an option that is convenient for persons who do not plan to drive back to Paphos International Airport. One way hire services could also have additional charges, but their rates will mainly depend on the return location chosen and the length of the rental period.

Many of the Paphos International Airport car rental companies have services for disabled drivers as well, and the majority of these services are free of charge. Europcar hand controls are suitable for persons with a lower limb disability, and operate the brake and accelerator pedals of certain vehicles with an automatic transmission. They can only be requested by a person unable to drive due to a disability, and not by able drivers. From Paphos Airport, hand controls require an advanced reservation. Customers who are visually impaired may even still be the primary renter of a vehicle from Europcar, and pay for the rental with their major credit card. They will just need to be accompanied by a person who has a valid drivers license. There are no second-driver fees for this person.

In general, the primary renter of a vehicle will need to be at least 21 years of age, and should be able to present a driving license and one of the major credit cards. A credit worthiness check could be performed. No debit cards are accepted at this rental location. Keep in mind that not all vehicle categories are available to drivers who are under the age of 25, and younger drivers will also pay higher rental rates. The additional fee to pay is for young drivers insurance. At certain rental locations there may also be a maximum age restriction, and further charges for persons who are over the age of 70.

Europcar's vehicles are similar to the Kia Picanto, Peugeot 206 1.1, Ford Fiesta 1.4, Ford Focus 1.4 and Ford Focus 1.6. The Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus 1.6 are two cars with an automatic transmission, but all other vehicles are driven manually. The cars come with unlimited mileage, and have room for four or five passengers. They have reasonable space for luggage as well. A few varieties of larger vehicles can be hired as well, and are cars that seat up to seven passengers. The Opel Zafira is available from the Standard category, the Nissan NV200 Mini Bus is found in the Full-size category and the Toyota Ipsum 2.0 is an example of a vehicle hired from the Intermediate category. A couple of specialty cars are available as well, similar to the Suzuki Jeep 1.3 4WD, Kia Sportage and Renault Megane Cabriolet. They all have room for four passengers.
