Booking in advance is essential from June to September when demand is highest. During quieter months like April, May and October, it is easier to rent a car upon arrival.
On average, car rentals in Corfu cost around €57 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from €16 per day.
Compare pickup spots and brands. Check prices at CFU Airport, Corfu Town and your resort. Airports usually have more competition and promos. Shift your pickup/return by a day to catch lower rates.
Book by season. For July–August, reserve 2–3 months ahead. In April, May and October, monitor prices and use free-cancellation rates so you can rebook if it drops.
Rent fewer days. Corfu Town is walkable and buses cover popular areas. Rent the car only for the island-exploring days.
Pick a small manual. Economy or compact manual cars are cheaper and easier on Corfu’s narrow streets. Automatics are limited and often cost more.
Check weekly deals. A 7-day rental can have a lower per-day price than 3–4 separate days. Compare both options before you commit.
Cut extras. Limit to one driver to avoid daily fees. Bring your own child seat. Return full-to-full and refuel away from airport and beach stations where fuel is pricier. Also ask your hotel about partner discounts.

Is it difficult to drive in Corfu? You'll find driving in Corfu is pretty easy on the main roads. Village centers and Corfu Town can be trickier because they have narrow streets and one-way systems. You'll need to drive carefully on mountain roads, especially at night.
Do I need an International Driving Permit? If you have an EU driving license, you can use it in Greece. People usually accept non-EU licenses (from places like the US, Canada or Australia), but we recommend you get an International Driving Permit just in case.
What side of the road do they drive on in Corfu? In Corfu, people drive on the right side of the road, just like in mainland Greece and most of Europe.
Are there any toll roads on Corfu? You won't find any toll roads on Corfu Island.
Can I take my rental car on ferries to nearby islands or the mainland? Many rental companies will let you take their cars on ferries to the mainland if you get permission in writing first. Other companies don't allow it at all. You should check your rental agreement, because each company has its own rules.
How is parking in popular tourist areas? You might find it hard to park in Corfu Town and at popular beaches when it's busy. To get a parking spot, try arriving early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
What's the best way to navigate around the island? A GPS will help you navigate around Corfu. You can use an app like Maps.me or Google Maps. It's a good idea to download the maps so you can use them offline. Most rental agencies also have paper maps you can use.
