Corfu is one of the best places to hire a car, allowing you to explore the island at your leisure, without having to take taxis or being limited by public transport options. Many attractions are over 25 miles apart, making a hire car the smartest choice. Explore the island’s coastal shoreline, with cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea, stopping off at the tourist resorts along the way. You can base yourself in Corfu town and easily drive to places like Kassiopi, an old fishing village where the traditional way of life still thrives. You can also drive to the west coast of the island and visit the fabled Paleokastritsa beaches.
Coming from the UK, the first adjustment you’ll have to make is that you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left in Corfu. Distances are also signposted in kilometres. It will take a bit of getting used to, but you’ll settle in swiftly enough. The traffic conditions are nowhere near as congested as on the mainland of Greece, so driving is more relaxed. In the rural areas, the roads can be narrow and you’ll encounter many blind curves and unguarded embankments, so drive with caution, even if you’ve hired an off-road vehicle.
You need to be at least 18 years of age to hire a car in Corfu Island and be in possession of a valid UK driver’s licence, in which case it is not mandatory to have an International Driver’s Permit in Greece. You should carry your passport with you when driving around too, and it is recommended that you carry a motor insurance certificate and a V5 registration document, but these will be supplied with your hire car. Certain car hire models offered by KAYAK are only available to those over 23, however, specifically the higher end luxury vehicles and the more powerful sports cars.
Mini (Toyota Aygo or similar) is the most frequently booked rental car type in Corfu Island.
