Corfu car hires from £4/day

Whether you are cruising around the coast or zipping through the cities, smaller vehicles like sedans and compacts are certainly your best choice of hire vehicle for Corfu. The island’s streets simply weren’t designed for the larger vehicles that roam the United States. Smaller vehicles are especially recommended when it comes to parking considerations, as streetside parking on the island is far more suited to a compact than an SUV.

Drivers will find that the speed limit ranges from 100 to 120 km/h (62 to 75 mph) on highways on the island, and in residential areas tends to be 50 km/h (31 mph). Also, occasionally speed limits of 80 to 90 km/h (50 - 56 mph) will be posted on larger roads.

If pulled over, you will be asked to perform a breathalyser. Should you be over the limit you could be fined up to €2000, banned from driving, and even imprisoned.
