Pickup Locations across North Cyprus

Ercan Airport (IATA: ECN) is the main gateway to North Cyprus and the most common place to collect a hire car. From the terminal it is roughly 30 minutes to Lefkoşa (Nicosia), 45 minutes to Girne (Kyrenia), 60 minutes to Gazimağusa (Famagusta) and around 75 minutes to İskele and Long Beach on the main roads. Sur Car Hire is a family-run company that has been renting cars in North Cyprus since 1979. Ercan Airport is one of our pickup points: choose it in the booking form, add your flight details in the booking note, and we meet you at the airport with the car. There is no deposit at booking — you pay the balance when you collect the car, together with a refundable £200 deposit.

Kyrenia — Girne in Turkish — is the harbour town on North Cyprus's northern coast and a favourite base for exploring the coast, the Beşparmak (Kyrenia) mountains and the villages around them. Sur Car Hire is a family-run company that has been renting cars in North Cyprus since 1979, and Kyrenia is one of our pickup points: we deliver the car free of charge to your hotel or address in our delivery areas, so there is no need to travel to a depot. Kyrenia is around 45 minutes from Ercan Airport via Lefkoşa and roughly an hour from Gazimağusa. From the harbour, Bellapais Abbey is a short drive uphill and St. Hilarion Castle sits on the ridge above the town — both are well signposted.

Lefkoşa — often written Lefkosa, and Nicosia in English — is the capital of North Cyprus and the only divided capital in the world. Most visitors come for the walled old town, the Selimiye Mosque (formerly the Cathedral of St. Sophia), the Büyük Han and the bazaar streets around them. Sur Car Hire is a family-run company that has been renting cars in North Cyprus since 1979, and Lefkoşa is one of our pickup points: we deliver the car free of charge to your hotel or address in our delivery areas. Lefkoşa is around 30 minutes from Ercan Airport, 45 minutes from Girne (Kyrenia) over the Beşparmak pass and about an hour from Gazimağusa (Famagusta). The Ledra Street (Lokmacı) pedestrian crossing into the southern half of the city is a short walk from the Selimiye; inside the walls the streets are narrow and many are one-way, so the public car parks around the old town are the easiest place to leave the car while you explore on foot.

Famagusta — Gazimağusa, or simply Mağusa, in Turkish — is the historic walled city on North Cyprus's east coast, home to the Lala Mustafa Paşa Mosque (formerly St. Nicholas Cathedral), Othello Castle, the fenced-off district of Varosha (Maraş) and, just north of the city, the ruins of ancient Salamis. Sur Car Hire is a family-run company that has been renting cars in North Cyprus since 1979, with our office a short drive up the coast in Boğaz, İskele. Famagusta is one of our pickup points: we deliver the car free of charge to your hotel or address in our delivery areas — the Salamis Bay Hotel on the coast road north of the city is on our pickup list. Gazimağusa is about an hour from Ercan Airport via Lefkoşa, and it is a good base for day trips north along the coast to İskele, Long Beach and the Karpaz peninsula.

İskele (Iskele) is the fast-growing district on North Cyprus's east coast and home to the Long Beach (Uzun Kumsal) hotel strip.

İskele and Long Beach are pickup points for us: we deliver the car free of charge to your hotel or address in our delivery areas, including Long Beach hotels on our pickup list such as Caesar Resort, Courtyard Long Beach, Grand Sapphire Resort, Long Beach Hotel and Noyanlar Life Hotel. İskele is about 75 minutes from Ercan Airport via Lefkoşa and Mağusa, around 25 minutes from the Mağusa walls, and the natural starting point for a day trip up the Karpaz peninsula to Apostolos Andreas.
