we did have a visitor from France . He came to Cyprus from Larnaka airport . he rented a Z car from south (larnaka) . He drove his car true the Kermia (Metehan Check) point .He insured the car at boarder for 3 days (20Euro) . Insurance can be montly or at least for tree days (which is third party).

North Cyprus Border Crossings – where to find themThe most popular Northern Cyprus border crossing is at
Metehan in Nicosia. This crossing is also known as
Agios Dometios, and you join the flow of locals on bikes, vehicles and on foot who cross the border daily to shop, do business or just for pleasure. At the Ledra Palace border crossing in the west of the city, you can only cross on foot or by bicycle unless you have a diplomatic car! Further west again, you can cross the border with a vehicle at
Güzelyurt, which is known by a causing assortment of names;
Astromeritis, Morpho, Morfu, Omorfo or Zohdia, depending which community you come from! The two remaining border crossings are contained within the British Eastern Sovereign Base Area; the
Black Knight crossing (also known as
Akyar, Azios Nikolaos, or Strovilia) and the
Pergamos crossing (also known as
Beyarmudu, or Dhekelia).
