Cyprus Car Hire – What Does The Market Look Like?

Interestingly enough, the Cyprus car hire market is almost directly inverted from what you might expect. As a traveler, you might feel out of your element in another country – as if you cannot fully related to or understand the culture; and you might be tempted to go with something you think you can trust, such as a large, multinational brand. In the case of Cyprus car hire, this simply does not hold true.

The Cyprus car hire market consists of a handful of multinationals and 10 or so local companies, which do not conduct operations in any other countries. According to a site that allows users to rank car rental companies, the largest multinationals scored among the worst in the Cyprus car hire market.

Hertz Car Rentals, for example, scored a woeful 2.5 out of 10 out of eleven comments. Site users who commented specifically cited horrible customer service, rigid rule systems, and comparatively bad rates as their reasons for rating Hertz poorly for their Cyprus care hire services.

Another large multinational Cyprus car hire service that took a beating in the ratings was Alamo. Users who commented on Alamo suggested that poor customer service, damaged cars, and excessive fees and upgrading penalties were at the root of the poor scores given.

So what Cyprus car hire services should you consider using on your next vacation? Users suggest “Birdcare North Cyprus Resources” as one potential option. They rank it 10 out of 10; and cite its low prices and excellent service as reasons. Abant Rent-a-car is also rated 10 out of 10. Site users suggested that it had excellent rates, good customer service, and even gave discounts up to 20% simply for making the rental online before you left for the airport.
