50-60 min one way

Mind the Narrow Village Roads
Many inland villages have extremely narrow roads built for donkeys, not SUVs. Renting a compact or economy car in Corfu is highly recommended for stress-free driving.
Parking in Corfu Old Town
Parking inside the historic center is nearly impossible. Use the large municipal parking lot at Spianada Square or the Old Port area and explore on foot.
Watch for Scooters & Quads
Corfu roads are filled with tourists on rented ATVs and scooters. Always check your blind spots and mirrors before overtaking or making a turn.
Slippery Roads After Rain
The local asphalt can become surprisingly slick after summer rain showers, especially in areas with dense olive groves. Reduce your speed and brake gently.
Navigating the North-East Coast
The road from Barbati to Kassiopi is beautiful but full of blind corners. Honk lightly during the day or flash your headlights at night when approaching sharp turns.
Fuel Stations on the Island
While there are many gas stations on the main national roads (Ethniki Odos), they become scarce in mountainous areas. Always keep your tank at least half-full before heading inland.

Corfu is an island, so all rentals start and end at the same location — either CFU Airport or Corfu Port. One-way drop-offs at a different island point are not available. If you arrive by air and depart by ferry (or vice versa), let us know in the booking notes and we will arrange accordingly.
Our local partners offer a meet-and-greet service right outside the arrivals terminal, or a quick 2-minute shuttle to their nearby office. Add your CFU flight number when booking — they track arrivals in real time, so even a delay is no problem.
Yes. Our Corfu partners accept all major debit cards including digital banks like Revolut, Wise, and Monzo, as long as they are Visa or Mastercard backed. With Premium Insurance there is no deposit block at all, so no large temporary hold on your balance.
Yes — driving is the best way to see the island. Be prepared for winding mountain roads, occasional potholes, and very narrow village streets. A compact car handles these best, and Premium Insurance (Zero Excess) gives you complete peace of mind on the road.
Yes. Drivers aged 21–24 can rent with a debit card. A small young driver surcharge may apply depending on the car category, but the no-credit-card and zero-deposit policy still applies when Premium Insurance is selected.
You need 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 required for UK, US, EU, Canadian, or Australian licence holders.
Taking a rental car on a ferry requires prior written consent from the local supplier, as insurance policies often differ over water. Contact us before booking if you plan to cross to the mainland or other islands — some partners do allow it with the right approval.
