If you are going on vacation to Cyprus this year and staying in a rental villa, then you need to know what are the most important points to avoid any problems. To have a perfect holiday, simply follow this basic guide and you will be guaranteed a hassle-free holiday in Cyprus.

First of all, you should choose a reputable agent or at least an agent recommended through people who have already used their services successfully. Once you have the complete package confirmed along with full contact details, you can make the payment for your reservation and not before. The safest way to pay online is through a Paypal account for which you don’t even need a credit card. The Internet will also help you find good recommendations, as there are now many social bookmarking sites like Digg.com where real people leave feedback about their Internet experiences.

You can also use the Google search box to see if the leasing company has a dark past, and you might be surprised by the results Google finds. To check the prices quoted, you can always take a quick look at the prices at traditional high street travel agencies as a good comparison. You’ll also need to be careful about prices displayed in euros, but this can also be confirmed on online exchange rate sites like xe.com.

It is imperative that you have arrival instructions to your Cyprus villa rental, as you may need to get to your holiday destination on your own or at least with the help of a taxi driver. Another great free online tool is Google Earth, which will reveal exactly where you are staying and you will also be able to see the surrounding area.

If you’ve reached this point and are concerned about a booking you’ve already made, don’t worry just yet as it’s still possible to change your holiday booking. Just follow this guide to finding an alternative rental villa in Cyprus and I really hope you have a fantastic holiday this year.
