Iskele Rent a Car — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver to Caesar Resort, Noah's Ark and Kaya Artemis?+
Yes — those three and every other hotel on the Long Beach strip are free-delivery zones. We can also deliver to private apartments in the Bafra and Boğaz developments.
How long is the drive from Long Beach to Ercan Airport?+
About 75 minutes via Famagusta and Lefkoşa. We recommend leaving Long Beach at least 2.5 hours before international departure.
How long is the drive from Long Beach to Karpaz?+
Around 75–90 minutes from Iskele to the Karpaz tip. Pack a picnic — there are few facilities along the way and Apostolos Andreas Monastery is the only major stop near the end.
Is parking free at the Long Beach hotels?+
Yes. Every Long Beach resort offers free guest parking. The hotel reception will issue a parking pass when you check in.
What kind of car should I rent for an Iskele to Karpaz day trip?+
A compact SUV or any car with reasonable ground clearance is comfortable on the Karpaz road. The main route is paved all the way to Dipkarpaz but the final stretch to Apostolos Andreas has rougher patches. A standard hatchback can do it too — just take it slow on the last 10 km.
Can I pick up a rental car at Iskele municipality and drop it off at Ercan Airport?+
Yes — one-way Iskele to Ercan (or Ercan to Iskele) is supported with no extra fee. Just note your drop-off point at booking and we coordinate the handover at airport arrivals.
Are car rental prices in Iskele cheaper than at Ercan Airport?+
Prices are identical whether you collect at Iskele, Long Beach, Ercan Airport or any of our other delivery points. We do not charge an airport surcharge. The GBP price you see when booking is the price you pay at handover.
