Insurances companies do not provide any insurance coverage for the rented vehicles travelling to the occupied northern part of Cyprus.

Also A.AN. Economy Rent A Car Ltd is not able to provide you with support in the case of an accident or a breakdown. Therefore driving to the occupied northern part of Cyprus is done entirely at your own risk and you will be fully responsible for any accidents, damages, recovery or additional costs that may arise.
