Corfu car hires from £13/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.

Streetside parking and parking lots are going to be your best options during your time in Corfu. In general, however, parking isn’t too big of a worry since ample options are available in the various municipalities of Corfu. Even during the peak tourism seasons, the streets don’t fill up too much.

On average a car hire in Corfu costs £28 per day.

Corfu’s drink-driving law is stricter than that of England. If you are found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.05% or more you will be prosecuted. As Corfu has a reputation for being somewhat of a party island, police are extra vigilant of those who could be suspected of drink driving. 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.
