Astra Self Drive

Astra Self Drive Cars Ltd is the oldest Cyprus Car Rentals Company on the island of Cyprus.

Starting in 1946 with an "Ariel" motorcycle, today it is the most established household name with a fleet of over 800 cars at your disposal. We offer the capability of accepting reservations worldwide through telephone, fax or e-mail through our electronic reservations links. Our network is one of the most sophisticated on the island.

Being innovators in practically all aspects of our work, we pride ourselves when we see others follow our ideas as opposed to us copying our competition. Renting from ASTRA Self Drive Cars Ltd gives you the self-confidence you are driving a reliable car backed by superb support staff. You are practically guaranteed a trouble-free motoring experience.

Astra Self Drive Cars Ltd was successfully appointed on 1st April 1998 to represent National in Cyprus, having held the Eurodollar franchise on the island since 1989. With experience in the business of over half a century, it has built up a reputation that goes beyond the territory of the island. Fully aware of the necessary competition and consumer’s growing demand for better quality and prompt service, Astra spared no effort in introducing innovations and new technology in management and highly trained and motivated people. With the representation of National, ASTRA Self Drive Cars Ltd has put Cyprus on the world stage and brought Europe and the island closer to the world. Based in prestigious offices in central Nicosia, the company also has branches at the Hilton in Nicosia, Larnaca and Paphos International Airports and the major tourist resorts of Paphos, Larnaca, Limassol, Protaras, Polis/Latchi and Ayia Napa.

Our company has gone public since November 2000 and although other public companies in the same line of business have been losing value because of the downturn, ASTRA has kept its value steady. This can only be attributed to the knowledge of the investor that ASTRA is backed by a team of successful managers, aiming to keep the share value high. Our fleet consists of 1200 vehicles. To provide such a large number to clients means that refusing a reservation is a rarity, even in the highest peak of the season. Having branches all over the island, from the east tip to the west corner, it is no surprise that the United Nations have kept us as their prime supplier for nearly 40 consecutive years. ASTRA Self Drive Ltd administration team is composed of experienced executives, and is constantly being trained in order to adapt successfully to the always increasing needs of their customers and their strategy is to position ASTRA Self Drive Ltd in the market through “ Simplicity”.
