Car Hire in Peyia: Hillside Village Life Above the Coast
Peyia (also written Pegeia) is the hillside village above Coral Bay and one of the most popular places in the Paphos district for villas and holiday homes. Its square and tavernas give it the feel of a real village, while the sea is only a few minutes downhill. The catch is that Peyia is spread out and built on slopes, and everyday life there, from the supermarket to the beach, is much easier with a car. CHMI Rentals delivers cars to Peyia and can take you straight to your villa when you rent with us.
Why Villa Guests and Residents in Peyia Choose CHMI
- Delivery to the villa. No need to travel into Paphos to collect the car.
- A ride to your villa at the start of the rental, free of charge. It is not only the shop.
- A vehicle for the whole group, including the roomy Nissan X-Trail.
- No credit card needed. You can pay in cash.
- Local advice on the coast road, the beaches and the paved routes worth driving.
Peyia attracts families sharing a villa, couples who want a quieter base and winter residents who stay for weeks. In all three cases the pattern is the same: the villa is lovely, but the beach, the shops and the rest of the coast are a drive away.
