car hire now or wait til you get to the airport

Hi





We are coming to Larnaca on 2nd August and have been looking to hire a car. Some of the quotes are huge though as we need a car for 6 people.





Cheapest we have been quoted so far is $940 with advantage.





Would it be better to wait until we get to the airport or would I run the risk of not getting a suitable car?





Many thanks





Lee

you should book in advance, you might have real problems if you want a large vehicle when you arrive and its always more expensive.




|||



VW Touran £789 for 2 weeks from Larnaca Airport on www.anycarhire.com/bookCar.php?pucode=CY





Kev




|||



Better off booking in advance, cheaper rather than top rates you will pay at the airport and guarantee you will have the car you need.




|||



we use economeycarentals.com all the time seem to ne very reasonable had no problems with them .




|||



We have been quoted $940.00 for two weeks for a Nissan Serena, just waiting for them to confirm the price as I think that equates to approx 650 Euros and I haven%26#39;t been able to beat that price.

7 seater for 2 weeks 672 Euros

Make sure you will get all your luggage in as well as the people if you get a 7 seater. With this in mind we booked 2 smallish cars last time we went with 6 of us ( 4 adults 2 children). We put 2 adults, 1 child, and 3 cases in each. It worked out about the same price.

protaras easter

I am a single dad traveling to protaras from the midlands at easter with a teenage daughter on a self catering holiday, can anyone advise me on exchange rates, is it best to take euros, or pounds and change it there, also is anyone else going with teenagers around the same time that would like to meet for a drink and a chat




|||



Protarus is a nice place with a shopping street, some good eating places on the strip and up on the main road and a good beach. Take your driving licence. Busy Aiya Napa is about 4 miles away.





Probably the best place to change money unless you can get euros commission free back home. The rate is lousy (94p per euro) and changes often. It has a tendency to get better but then a newspaper or politician talks gloom and doom and down it goes again.




|||



I would recommend that you take Euro%26#39;s if you have been quoted a good rate in the UK, the only trouble with Protaras is that it is a purpose built resort %26amp; you will get stung over the exchange rate. I am not saying there are not places that you will get a good rate but they are few %26amp; far between esp in Protaras as it is on it%26#39;s own ( 4 miles a way from Ayia Napa %26amp; also it is just a long strip)







Kev




|||



thanks for the advice on money exchange i will start to keep an eye the rates in the uk 1 euro for £1 is about the best i can find, thanks again




|||



Hi,





I did some shopping around to change sterlings into euros when I was in London one time. I found that Marks and Spencers did a better deal than banks did.





HOpe this helps.





Leah




|||



Hi, thanks for the reply i have changed money at M%26amp;S before the post office can also offer a better rate than some of the the banks,





Kevin




|||



i have a fair fx card. It%26#39;s like a top up debit card that you can use in any euro country best rates I could find and much safer than carrying cash. you can pay direct with card for no charge or withdraw from any machine and only 1 euro per withdrawal. address is fairfx.com i think




|||



thanks for that i will have a look on the website, i got 1.06 at co.op travel but still need to get some more

Holland v Scotland 28th March

I%26#39;m looking for a bar in Paphos that would be showing this give live --- any ideas please?




|||



Post should of course have said.... %26quot;showing this GAME live%26quot; ooops, first post and I make a mess of it




|||



Hi





Most bars show the footy, all depends on which part of Paphos you are staying in.





Karen




|||



There are also a couple of sports bars right in centre of harbour area-they will have boards outside advertising the matches they are showing so you can check them out during the day.




|||





Where are you staying?




|||



Thank you Kazzy66 and ChrissieH.





To Hornplayer, the day of the game I move out of the Roman Hotel out to Kouklia for a long weekend so will have to return later that same day to Paphos to hopefully watch the game.




|||



Well, our %26#39;local%26#39; in Paphos is a great little bar up a side street......go to the Aloe Hotel on Poseidonos Ave. The little road running up the side of it is Thalias Street (The Romantica Restaurant is on the corner). Just up on the left, is the Friendship Bar - great bar, great bar owner who has about 3 telly screens with sport and football on all the time.




|||



Perfect ! Thanks Hornplayer!




|||



Well, I ended up in The Friendship Bar and the recommendation was good - very friendly bar owner, nice man --- he even offered to put on the tennis on another TV so my wife didn%26#39;t have to watch the football! Only strange thing was, my wife and I ended up being on the only people there after the England game finished. The owner deserves more custom on a Saturday night. Good recommendation, Hornplayer. ps the owner doesn%26#39;t know you by that moniker.




|||



Why bother, they will get slaughtered!!
