Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Paphos are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Vito, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Kombi 8 Seater, VW Touran, Citroen C8 Tdi and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Cyprus is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in Cyprus a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Paphos.
Before leaving the parking garage in Paphos, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
Quite often you can see huge tour buses on mountain roads. As a rule, these buses are followed by a row of trucks and carts. Do not try to overtake in such a situation as it may be dangerous. It is better to move patiently together with the flow of vehicles. On narrow mountain roads that often have no fences every extra maneuver is always a risk.
Car drivers should treat local farmers with extra attention, as they are one of the most “dangerous” categories of drivers. It is very simple to distinguish farmers from ordinary motorists - almost all of them use pickup trucks that are loaded with fruit and vegetables.
You can meet farmers on both mountain streamers and high-speed roads. Experienced motorists recommend staying away from them as far as possible. Quite often trucks are loaded with oranges, boxes of vegetables and hefty cabbages that fall down to the road. Driving behind such pickups is quite unsafe, so it is recommended to keep the distance.
