Can anyone give the name of a care hire company at Larnaca who'll let me drive North please? I did this from Larnaca many years but unable to remember the company name. Thanks. John

Recommend Petsas. On-line booking, they will arrange your insurance for the north (small charge - ? €10 extra) and vehicles are good.

Do you need a route card from Larnaca to Esentepe, if that's where you are based/travelling to?

I've used this company several times: http://www.cyprus-car.com/
Very good service, reliable cars, and cheaper than Hertz or Avis. You can pick up and drop off the car at the airport, or in the town if you prefer.

Would also recommend Cyprus Car as the above post says. Great service. Have now used them 14 times. Never a problem.

The crossing is at Pergamos (Beyamadu), not Pile. Visitors, especially off night flights, will get confused if the wrong village is named as the crossing. Pedantic, I know - but necessary for those visiting for the first time.

Tom I'm confused over these crossings on the east side. I've been through the Pile crossing at least I thought it was but now not so sure!! Can you throw any light?

Marie at Busy Bees Estate Agents (Bogaz) can provide up to date details as they regularly get people driving north in hire cars viewing properties.
They give good directions as well, they'll be happy to help.
