The Complete Cyprus Villa Rental Checklist!

We are going to cover a series of must dos that you should consider in the case that you are thinking of renting a holiday villa in Cyprus. These points will make sure that nothing will possibly go wrong for anyone wishing to rent a villa in Cyprus as well as a whole string of related matters.

The letting agency that you choose to use should be a reputable one or it should at least have been recommended to you. Don't even consider sending any type deposit unless you have been provided with complete contact details. Have a look on their website to see if their contact details are the same and also you may want to try contacting any previous customers listed who give positive feedback.

Be very suspicious of prices that seem extremely low for no good reason. Don't make payment through services like Western Union or Money Gram, as the cash can be "received" anonymously. If possible pay by credit card, and ensure your card has the appropriate protection (call them first to be sure)

Shop around and speak to agents by phone first when looking online, or at least send an email and see how they reply. Ask if you can speak to previous customers of the letting agent, if they have done a good job they should have no problem with this. Do a Google search on the company or individual's name as you may be surprised at what you find.

Make sure too that you know the amount that you are spending on your trip and double check on the currency that is quote, whether it be Euro or Pounds Sterling. If you need to convert Euro into Pounds try the internet for some great exchange rate sites. Also make sure you have the time clear for entering your villa and also for vacating it on departure.

Getting the exact address can be very useful indeed. Firstly you may need it handy should you require a taxi on arrival in order to get to your destination villa. Finally you may have the chance to see the exact location of the villa through Google Earth. You may pick up on a lot of building work or maybe you consider it too isolated. Whatever your reason might be, it may not be too late to change your rental villa for a more acceptable one.

Stick to these basic points and you'll enjoy a wonderful Cyprus villa rental experience. If you have any doubt at all then we very strongly recommend you first take a look at our preferred villa rental agency, then see how they stack up against other options. Enjoy Cyprus!
