Cheap Car Hire this Summer in Cyprus
According to a UK Post Office survey, Cyprus has the second-cheapest car hire in the whole of Europe. Based on a day’s car hire and a round trip of 100 miles, Holland won the honour of the cheapest destination for car hire in Europe, while neighbouring France was the most expensive.
Cost of One Week’s Car Hire in Europe
The Post Office report also compared the average cost of one week’s car hire, with the cheapest available in Spain. Cyprus again provided the second-cheapest weekly car hire deals in Europe, while the most expensive average rental hire prices for a week was in Greece.

Cost of Three Days Car Hire in Europe
For three days car hire, including fuel costs for 200 miles of motoring at 30 miles per gallon/5 litres, Cyprus was the fifth cheapest holiday destination in Europe. None of the European destinations surveyed, however, could rival the cheapest deal of all, which was in Florida USA, where the price was almost half that in Cyprus.
Petrol and Diesel Prices in Europe
Of course, the USA has an unfair advantage in any comparison where fuel is included, since US ‘gas’ (petrol and diesel) is so much cheaper. The cheapest unleaded fuel prices in Europe were in Switzerland; in June 2008, prices were still less than GBP£1 a litre. The cheapest diesel prices in June 2008, at less than GBP£1 a litre, were in Spain.
