If you are planning a vacation in Cyprus and want to explore the island with a rental car, one of the most important questions for your budget is: "How high are the fuel prices in Cyprus?" Fuel prices in North Cyprus are generally quite affordable compared to many European countries. With this guide prepared for you by Auron Car, you can plan your vacation budget much more accurately.
Fuel Types and Gas Stations in Cyprus
Mainly three different types of fuel are offered at gas stations in Cyprus. It is very important to pay attention to the correct type when fueling your rental car:
- 95 Octane Unleaded Petrol (Euro Diesel / Euro Petrol): The most commonly used fuel type for economy and mid-range rental cars.
- 98 Octane Unleaded Petrol: This type of fuel is mostly preferred for luxury vehicles, sports cars, or high-performance SUVs.
- Euro Diesel: Used in vehicles with diesel engines. If you have rented a diesel vehicle, you must make sure to fill up exclusively with Euro Diesel.
Things to Consider When Fueling in Cyprus
To avoid any issues at the gas stations on the island, you should keep the following points in mind:
- Payment Methods: Credit cards are accepted at almost all gas stations in Cyprus. However, it is advisable to keep some cash (Turkish Lira or Euro) with you just in case.
- Rental Car Fuel Policy: As Auron Car, we usually hand over our vehicles with a **"Like-for-Like" (Return in the same condition)** policy. This means you should return the vehicle with the exact same amount of fuel it had when you picked it up.
- Gas Station Opening Hours: Gas stations on main roads and in the city centers of Kyrenia, Nicosia, and Famagusta are usually open 24/7. However, opening hours may be shorter in rural areas or mountain villages.
