Toll in Cyprus
What is a toll (obligation)?
Most countries in Europe charge toll fees. There is a so-called toll obligation. But what does that mean? So-called toll fees are charged for the use of many motorways and expressways as well as tunnels and bridges. The money raised through the toll is invested, for example, in the road network. This allows you to enjoy a smooth journey on your way to your holiday. The primary areas of investment are infrastructure, traffic management and road safety, as well as environmental protection measures.
Infrastructure: construction and maintenance of roads and motorways
Road safety and traffic management: new technologies such as intelligent traffic systems or toll bridges
Environmental protection: expansion of noise barriers or measures to reduce emissions
How is the toll collected in Cyprus?
There are no toll roads in Cyprus. This means you can use the country's road network without any problems. Please note, however, that this toll exemption only applies to Cyprus and other conditions may apply in other countries. In addition, Cyprus has left-hand traffic (unlike many other European countries). If you would like to enter with your own car and are planning a road trip by ferry from Turkey or from Greece, you should check our guide on the toll in Turkey and the toll in Greece. However, arriving by plane or booking a rental car on site is usually the most common way. Rental cars on site are already designed for left-hand traffic (steering wheel on the right-hand side), so you will generally quickly get used to the changed driving position.
