I would be careful before trying to ship a car to or from Cyprus. As far as I
know there are still no car ferries going to Cyprus from anywhere in Europe.
So the only way you could get your car would be to take a flight yourself,
and arrange to have the car shipped separately. This would be fraught with
problems and I'm sure expensive. (Some friends of mine shipped a car back to
Britain from Cyprus a few years ago and it arrived minus a radio.)
If you're determined to go to Cyprus, cars of all kinds are easy to rent
(personally I would not bother with Cyprus at all). Incidentally, traffic in
(Southern) Cyprus drives on the left like in the UK. I don't know if you're
happy with that.
