Collect the car at Corfu Airport (CFU), the port or your hotel, and set your own pace around Kerkyra. Pay cash or by debit card on arrival, with local partners, clear pricing and no deposit held when you choose Premium Insurance.
Debit card or cash on arrival
Where the international desks at Corfu Airport insist on a credit card, our local partners take a debit card or cash when Premium Insurance is selected.
Nothing held on your account
Premium Insurance (SCDW) means you pay the rental and nothing else: no security deposit is blocked on your card while you are on the island.
Book now, pay at the desk
Reserve the car online and settle at the counter at CFU Airport or Corfu Port, so your booking is held without tying up your money first.
Cover that matches the roads
Corfu's inland roads are narrow and full of bends. Premium Insurance takes the excess to zero, kerbside scrapes included.
The car you actually booked
We work only with verified Kerkyra rental firms, so the category you reserved is the category waiting for you.
Skip the coach timetable and plan the day yourself, around the Ionian beaches and the landmarks the tour routes never reach.
Sea caves, a 13th-century monastery and the long view from Angelokastro fortress, all on the west coast.
Leave the car near the Old Fortress and walk the Venetian alleys, the Liston arcade and Spianada square on foot.
Sandstone cliffs cut into narrow coves at Sidari, on the north coast. The Channel of Love is the one everyone photographs.
Empress Sissi's summer residence, with formal gardens, the Achilles statue and a view back over the coast.
Mountain peaks, sand dunes and quiet north-coast bays, strung into half-day routes from Corfu Town.
1.5 hrs one way
A winding climb to the highest point on the island, with views across to the Albanian coast on a clear day.
1 hr one way
The coast road north through Barbati and Kalami, with pebble bays to stop at before the harbour at Kassiopi.
30-40 min one way
Up to the village of Pelekas for Kaiser's Throne, the observation point locals use for the sunset.
50-60 min one way
South past Issos Beach to the dunes and the lagoon at Lake Korission, a protected wetland that the crowds miss.
Mind the village lanes
Inland villages were laid out for donkeys, not SUVs. A compact or economy car is the easier choice almost everywhere on the island.
Park outside the Old Town
The historic centre is effectively closed to parking. Use the municipal car park at Spianada Square or the Old Port and walk in from there.
Watch for scooters and quads
Rented ATVs and scooters are everywhere in summer. Check your mirrors and blind spot twice before overtaking or turning.
Slippery roads after rain
Summer showers lift oil off the asphalt, and it is worst under the olive groves. Ease off the speed and brake gently.
Blind corners on the northeast coast
Between Barbati and Kassiopi the road is beautiful and blind. A light touch on the horn by day, a flash of the headlights at night.
Fill up before heading inland
Petrol stations line the national road but thin out in the mountains. Keep the tank above half before you turn off towards the interior.
Yes. Choose Premium Insurance at checkout and pay on arrival at CFU in cash, by debit card or by prepaid card, with no deposit block and no credit card needed. The 'No Deposit' filter on our search page shows only the cars that qualify.
Corfu is an island, so every rental starts and ends at the same point, either CFU Airport or Corfu Port. One-way drop-offs elsewhere on the island are not offered. If you fly in and leave by ferry, say so in the booking notes and we will arrange it.
Our partners meet you just outside arrivals, or run a two-minute shuttle to their office nearby. Add your CFU flight number when you book: they track arrivals in real time, so a delayed landing is not a problem.
Yes. Corfu partners take all major debit cards, digital banks like Revolut, Wise and Monzo included, as long as the card is Visa or Mastercard backed. With Premium Insurance nothing is held on the balance at all.
Yes, and it is the best way to see the island. Expect winding mountain roads, the odd pothole and very narrow village streets, which a compact car handles best. Premium Insurance takes the excess to zero if a wing mirror finds a wall.
Yes. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent on a debit card. A young driver surcharge may apply depending on the category, but the no-credit-card and no-deposit terms still hold with Premium Insurance.
A valid driving licence, a passport or EU ID card, and a debit or credit card in the main driver's name. No International Driving Permit is needed for UK, US, EU, Canadian or Australian licence holders.
Only with written consent from the local partner first, because cover often changes over water. Contact us before booking if you plan to cross to Paxos or to Igoumenitsa on the mainland; some partners allow it with the right paperwork.
