Car Rental Deals in Paphos: How to Pay Less
When people search for car rental deals they usually want a lower price without a catch. This page does not list coupon codes. It lists the ways to save that are built into how we price our cars, so you can see exactly what you would pay. For anything current beyond that, call the shop. CHMI Rentals has served Paphos for over 23 years from Tombs of the Kings Avenue.
1. Rent by the Week or the Month
The daily rate falls as the rental gets longer. A three day rental at a daily rate can cost more overall than a seven day booking at the weekly rate, even though you are paying for extra days you might not fully use. For a month or more, see our long-term rental plans, which our long-term page describes as saving up to around 40 percent compared with daily rates on longer terms. Servicing, road tax and a replacement car when one is available are part of the monthly plans. For daily and weekly rates, choose your dates on the fleet page.
2. Lease Instead of Renting
From three months, a lease is lower than the monthly rental for the same car, and it falls again at 24 and 36 months. This table compares the monthly rental with the 36 month lease, using our current price list.
| Car | Monthly rental | 36 month lease | You save a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Note | €450 | €300 | €150 |
| Suzuki Swift | €540 | €330 | €210 |
| Honda Fit | €650 | €420 | €230 |
| Nissan X-Trail (2017) | €800 | €590 | €210 |
| Nissan X-Trail (2020) | €1,500 | €910 | €590 |
A lease is a fixed-term agreement, so it only saves money if you keep the car for the full term. Shorter leases cost more per month: the Nissan Note is €410 on a 3 to 6 month lease and €380 on 6 to 12 months. A lease also involves a basic credit eligibility check and proof of steady income, which a rental does not. See car leasing, our short-term car lease guide and SUV leasing.
Worked Example: An SUV Over Different Terms
For the Nissan X-Trail (2017), monthly rental is €800. Here is what a lease looks like over different lengths of time.
| How long | Renting by the month | Leasing | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 months | €4,800 | €4,620 (3 to 6 month lease, €770 a month) | €180 less |
| 12 months | €9,600 | €8,520 (6 to 12 month lease, €710 a month) | €1,080 less |
| 36 months | €28,800 | €21,240 (36 month lease, €590 a month) | €7,560 less |
3. Free Delivery and Transfer With Your Rental
When you rent with us, we take you straight to your hotel, villa or home, free of charge, in Paphos town, at Paphos Airport and in Chloraka, Kissonerga, Peyia, Coral Bay, Tala, Empa and Mesa Chorio. Please book 24 hours before. From Larnaca Airport, around 134 km away, we can also take you to Paphos at a price agreed with the shop. See our airport transfer service page for how it works.
4. Unlimited Mileage
Distance never adds to your rental price. On our rentals, mileage is unlimited, so a cross-island trip costs you fuel but nothing extra from us. See our unlimited mileage guide.
5. No Credit Card Needed
You can pay in cash, so you do not need a credit card to rent. Read how renting without a credit card works.
6. Share One Bigger Car
Groups of friends splitting a Cyprus road trip should compare the cost of one larger vehicle against two smaller ones. It is often close to a wash on price, but noticeably simpler to stay together in one car. The Nissan X-Trail is the roomiest car in our fleet.
7. Book Early in Summer
Our prices are the same all year, so there is no cheaper season to wait for. July and August are the busiest months, and popular cars can be booked out days in advance, so book early.
Which Deal Suits Your Stay?
| Your stay | Best route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A few days to a couple of weeks | Standard rental | No commitment. Choose your dates on the fleet page. |
| A month or more | Long-term monthly rental | Lower per day, with servicing and replacement support. |
| Three months or more, and sure of it | Short-term lease | A fixed monthly figure below the monthly rental. |
| A year or more | Car leasing | The lowest monthly figure, dropping again at 24 and 36 months. |
Compare Deals Properly
A deal is only a deal if the terms match. When you compare offers, check the insurance excess, whether a second driver is included, the deposit, delivery charges and the fuel policy. Our terms state that petrol is non-refundable and that a late return carries an hourly fee. Our no hidden fees page lists every charge and obligation, and our cheap car hire guide covers the cars that cost least.
Prices on this page come from our current price list and can change, so confirm the figure in your quote before you book.
