Deposit amounts, zero-deposit availability, accepted payment methods and excess ranges across 57 pickup cities in Cyprus. Compiled from live rental offers, refreshed weekly.
VERIFIED: 2026-08-31 · 576 OFFERS · 57 CITIESAs of August 2026, 576 of 576 car rental offers in Cyprus (100%) require no deposit at pickup. Where a deposit applies, it ranges from $100 to $10,000 (median $500) and can be paid in cash at 71% of suppliers. The advance payment is made online at booking; exact conditions for each car are stated in the booking voucher.
Deposit conditions in Cyprus differ more by car class than by city. The table aggregates all checked offers; amounts are ranges because each rental company sets its own terms, and the voucher for a specific car is the binding document.

|---|---|---|---|
| Economy (Citroen C1, Citroen C3, Fiat Panda) | 299 of 299 (100%) | $100 - $1,000 | none |
| Comfort sedan (BMW 318d, Citroen Grand, Citroen Jumpy) | 108 of 108 (100%) | $120 - $2,000 | none |

Every offer in the dataset splits payment in two: an advance paid online at booking, and the remaining amount at pickup. Zero-deposit offers block nothing beyond that; deposit offers additionally hold or charge the deposit at pickup and return it after the car comes back undamaged. Traffic fines and toll charges are billed by the rental company separately after the return. Deposit Index is a data reference: the rental agreement is concluded directly with the rental company.
Where a deposit applies, suppliers in Cyprus accept the following methods. Acceptance is counted across all checked offers; the methods for a specific car are listed in its voucher.
| Deposit payment method | Offers accepting | Share | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Credit card | 531 of 576 | 92% | optional where accepted, never the only method |
| Debit card | 492 of 576 | 85% | charged, not held |
| Cash | 409 of 576 | 71% | refund by bank transfer, up to 30 days |
| Cryptocurrency | 32 of 576 | 6% | coins and refund terms set by the rental company |
