Car rental companies in Corfu
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Corfu and throughout Greece, giving you many options for picking up and returning a car across the island. The main pickup point is Corfu International Airport (CFU – Ioannis Kapodistrias), where desks of local and international suppliers operate, offering a large variety of vehicle categories. Additionally, you will find active stations in the new port area of Corfu (Corfu New Port) – especially convenient for ferry arrivals – as well as in downtown Corfu and the Gouvia Marina. More stations are scattered across popular towns and holiday spots on the island, such as Dassia, Ipsos, Paleokastritsa, Kontokali, Sidari, Kavos, and Benitses, and at times delivery and pickup directly at the hotel may be offered by prior arrangement. You can combine pickup from one point and return to another, allowing you to plan a free itinerary tailored to your schedule and pace – between steep bays, mountainous villages, and the alleys of the old town where parking is limited within the historical core.
Operating hours vary between different companies and stations, reflecting local seasonality: in summer most branches extend hours, while off-season may feature reduced hours and siesta breaks. Therefore, it is important to ensure in advance that the station you chose is open at landing time or ferry arrival and to check for out-of-hours service and additional charges accordingly. It is advisable to prepare a valid driver's license, passport, and an international credit card in the main driver's name, and to review insurance terms, fuel policy, additional drivers, and ferry transportation consent – most suppliers require explicit permission. For convenience and safety, consider arranging pickup and return during daylight hours, pre-book safety and navigation seats, and allow time for parking search at the edge of the old town. Early booking in peak seasons will ensure high availability and competitive prices, allowing you to receive the vehicle at the most convenient place and time for you.
FAQ – Car rental in Corfu
What is the minimum age for car rental in Corfu, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Corfu, most major suppliers (Hertz, Europcar, Budget, Thrifty, Enterprise, Avance) rent from at least 21 years old and may require at least one year of driving experience. Young drivers (usually up to 24-25, depending on the supplier) will be charged a daily Young Driver fee and there may be restrictions on car categories. When booking through Auto Europe Israel, you will see the minimum age, the required experience, and the exact cost for each supplier before finalizing the booking.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient in Corfu, or is an international license required?
Most rental companies in Corfu require a valid Israeli driver's license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP). It's recommended to arrive with both licenses, a passport, and a credit card in the main driver's name. Some suppliers may refuse to release a vehicle without an international license, even if the Israeli license is valid. Auto Europe Israel provides the exact document requirements for each supplier in the booking terms.
What does the basic insurance package include when renting a car in Corfu through Auto Europe Israel, and what additional insurance is recommended?
Typically includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection (TP) with an excess, as well as Third Party Liability according to Greek law. Damage to windows, tires, mirrors, roof, and underbody is usually not covered in the basic package. It's advisable to consider extensions like reducing/eliminating excess (SCDW), coverage for windows and tires, and roadside assistance. Coverage terms and excess amounts vary between suppliers in Corfu, and Auto Europe Israel provides the exact conditions for each vehicle during booking.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the associated cost?
Yes. In all companies in Corfu, an additional driver can be added as long as they meet the same age and license conditions. A daily surcharge usually applies for each additional driver, and sometimes there's a cap on the total days charged. The addition and exact cost can be seen when booking through Auto Europe Israel or added at the counter upon pickup when both drivers present appropriate licenses.
What happens in case of an accident or vehicle breakdown?
Stop in a safe location and immediately call the rental company's assistance center (the number appears on the agreement and sticker in the vehicle). In case of injury, theft, or third-party involvement, dial 112 and summon police to obtain a report; do not perform independent repairs. Photograph the scene, exchange details, and fill out an accident form with the supplier. After reporting, the supplier will arrange towing or vehicle replacement based on availability and insurance conditions. Auto Europe Israel's team is available for assistance and coordination with the supplier if necessary.
Tips for car rental in Corfu
Here are four useful tips for renting a car abroad that will help you save time and money, avoid unnecessary charges, and properly prepare for driving in your destination. We selected them randomly and practically, with highlights to remember at the start and return of the rental.
Damage Check and Full Documentation
Before departing, scan the car, photograph every scratch or defect, and ensure they appear in the agreement. Check required equipment. This way you'll save debates and charges for damages you didn't cause.
Fuel Policy and Charges
Check if the policy is full/full, full/empty, or pre-paid. Refuel near the return and keep the receipt to avoid service charges and fuel at an inflated price.
Insurance: What's Included and What's Not
Check excess and CDW/TP coverages, as well as for glass, tires, and towing. Consider excess reduction or cancellation according to the destination and risk to prevent surprises upon receipt.
Border Crossing and Road Tolls
Ensure cross-border is allowed and obtain written permission from the company. Check vignette, toll roads, and city pollution stickers. Non-compliance may result in high fines.
