7 seater car hire in Cyprus , or an 8 seater, from our Paphos office

A week costs less per day because seven days fall in the 7 to 29 day band, where the Sienta Hybrid is 65 EUR and the Serena 75 EUR. From five days the kilometres are unlimited, so the 20 EUR daily option falls away. An airport pick-up inside the fee window is also free, which puts two lines in those columns at zero.

Only the deposit line comes back to you. The deposit and the excess are separate sums of 300 EUR each. We take the deposit at the desk and return it with the car. The excess is the most you would pay towards eligible bodywork damage once the waiver is bought.

Every figure above comes from our own rate card, and how we check our prices sets out when each one was read.

Ten days in the Serena land in the 7 to 29 day band, so 10 x 75 = 750 EUR. Three days in the Sienta Hybrid fall in the 3 to 6 day band: 3 x 75 = 225 EUR.

At 30 days or more a hire moves onto our long-term card, which carries its own prices. The Limassol seven-seater sits on a separate card with a two-day minimum, so a single day there is not possible; see below for its figures.

The same two cars sit beside our five-seat models on our Cyprus car hire overview, if a smaller car plus a second one suits the group better.

Hertz Cyprus, read on 4 August 2026, sorts its van range into four groups by payload, from 570 kg to 1,420 kg, and prints no seat count at all. If payload is the number you are comparing, you want commercial vehicle hire, and that is a trade we are not in.

Nine people or more will not travel in one of our cars. The practical answers are two cars with two drivers, or a transfer company that supplies a vehicle and someone to drive it. You can ask for the Sienta Hybrid and the Serena together in a single request.

With every seat taken, luggage space is the limit, and we hold no written boot figure for either car. Send us the number of people and the number of large cases, and we will tell you which car suits, or suggest two cars.

Child seats and a second driver cost nothing, whatever the length of the hire. A driver aged 21 or over pays no young-driver charge in either of these two, so a party whose main driver is 22 pays the printed rate.

Both are automatic, and the Sienta is a hybrid. The gearbox adds nothing to the price because every car we hire is an automatic.

The Road Transport Department's licence-category form, ΈΝΤΥΠΟ Τ.Ο.Μ. 180 dated 15 April 2016, places vehicles of up to 3,500 kg gross weight in category B. A note on the same form gives the minibus category, Δ1 or D1, as covering vehicles of 9 to 16 seats. Our two cars sit at seven and eight.

The EU driving-licence directive, 2006/126/EC, draws its line in Article 4 by counting passengers rather than seats. Under that definition, category B covers a vehicle of 3,500 kg or less carrying the driver and no more than eight other people. A vehicle built for a ninth passenger falls in category D, and its smaller-bus subcategory is D1. The form counts seats in total and the directive counts passengers beside the driver, so the two lines sit one seat apart. Category B also carries a 3,500 kg weight limit; we hold no written weight for either car, so ask us to confirm it when you book.

Any other firm's seven- or eight-seater needs the same category B licence, so the licence gives you no reason to pick us over them. What applies at our desk is our own rule: every driver must be 21 or older, have held the licence for two years, and bring the original.

This section is general information for groups planning a drive, not legal advice. Your own licence and our rental terms are what count, so confirm with us when you book.

Every car finishes its hire in the town where it began. We run no one-way hires between towns, and leaving a car somewhere else costs from 300 EUR, so a group ending its trip on the far side of the island either pays that charge or drives back.

We have no counter in Larnaca. We bring a Paphos car, the Sienta Hybrid or the Serena, to your address there at Paphos rates, and any delivery charge is set out in our reply.

These are summaries of our terms, not legal advice. The signed agreement decides.

A group that needs both cars sends one request naming the Sienta Hybrid and the Serena together.
