Car rental at Paphos International Airport (PFO) splits into two easy patterns: Sixt lists an office at the terminal, visible from the arrivals exit, while Alamo, Enterprise and National direct customers to a meeting point about 60 metres opposite arrivals - and Cypriot agencies meet flights the same way. Remember that Cyprus drives on the left, and rental cars wear distinctive red number plates that mark you as a visitor - locals generally give them patience. A normal car covers the coast from Coral Bay to Aphrodite's Rock comfortably; take a 4x4 if the Akamas peninsula's dirt tracks toward Lara Bay's turtle beach are on the list. One hard rule to check: rentals from the south generally cannot cross the Green Line north without separate arrangements - read your contract before planning a Nicosia-and-beyond day.
