The Only Cyprus Villa Rental Checklist Worth Reading!
Date: Tuesday February 26, 2008Posted in: Travel Tips
Here’s a list of points to help you make sure you get exactly what you are looking for when you rent a villa in Cyprus. If you stick to these points, you’ll avoid any potential pitfalls that can affect people renting a villa in Cyprus, or anywhere else for that matter!
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)
In order to get an overall insight to what is being offered to you, try getting information from both on-line agencies and high street travel agents. A way to check the credibility of an on-line agency is by sending them an email so you can see what kind a response you get, and once again insist on contact with previous customers. The best way to check out their credibility is by googling the company name to see if anybody out there has any comments to pass on.
Double check on exactly how much you are spending, whether the price is quoted in Pounds sterling or Euro and you can find plenty of on-line exchange rate info sites. You also need to clarify what time you can actually enter the villa and also find out what time you need to vacate it on your departure.
Another important point is to have the exact address of where the villa is written down somewhere just so the taxi driver on arrival knows exactly where to go. If you do have the exact address you could try having a look on Google Earth to see whether there is building works in the area or any other inconvenience. It may not be too late to change your location.
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!
