Car Rental in Limassol Through Aggregators
Booking through search aggregators is often more convenient than through a specific company—smaller players offering more competitive prices appear in the search results. Additionally, you have access to the car fleets of multiple rental companies, providing a wider selection compared to a single large provider.
The process is similar to hotel search engines. Enter the city—Limassol in our case (possibly in Latin characters), rental start and end dates, pick-up time, and apply various filters during the search query stage.
After receiving the results, visit the car listing, review detailed terms, provide your information, and make a prepayment. The main payment is made on-site upon signing the contract.
Aggregators differ in the number of rental companies, user interface, overall ease of use, additional incentive programs, and other perks.

Localrent is a popular aggregator with Russian roots and a limited range of countries, collaborating with small rental companies. Cyprus is listed as a country, and Limassol is among the cities.
