South Cyprus car insurance does not cover a car in the North and vice versa.  North Cyprus car hire companies offer taxi transfer for those arriving at Larnaca airport to take them to their North Cyprus hire car.  This is the best option for those travelling north from Larnaca.  If you wish to hire a car for use in both countries, you are advised to use a company such as Petsas Car Rentals at Larnaca or Paphos which includes comprehensive insurance for both sides.  With other south hire companies who do not issue this, you can purchase 3rd party only insurance only from the border crossing insurance offices at your own risk.  North Cyprus International can offer assistance with car hire bookings for those visiting to view a property.
