Upon arrival at either airport or port, you will be greeted by our Car Hire agent, and handed over the car once the necessary paperwork has been filled in and signed. You will receive the top copy of the contract along with a road map of corfu.

Please ensure that you have a valid EU driving licnece with you when collecting your car. This includes both the pink/green European Community Licence and the new photo-card licence. The driver of the car must always carry both licence and passport when driving the car. Please advise us at the time of booking if you do not have an EU licence so that we can check that the one you have is acceptable to the car hire company. Your driving licence MUST be valid for at least two (2) years.

Drink Driving

The legal drink drive limit in Greece is one unit of alcohol. In the event of an accident the police will breathalyse the driver if they suspect he or she has consumed alcohol. Severe penalties can be enforced if the driver id found to be over the limit, so we advise guests to abstain from alcohol when in charge of a vehicle.

The law insists that you always carry your driving licnece and car hire documents with you when driving in Corfu. Random checks and breath testing are quite common.
Although much work has been done to the Corfiot roads over the past few years, most of them, particulsrly country and mountain roads, remain narrow and winding, and some are in poor state of repair. Guests staying in rural or mountain accommodation in particular should take this into consideration. Smaller vehicles are easier to navigate through the narrow roads, and a few of these tracks may sometimes have bumps and pot-holes, especially after periods of rain. If you do encounter a rain shower, please be extra careful on the roads allowing more space between you and the person in front, as the rain can make the roads very slippy due to the constant heat on the tarmac and the shedding of the olives from the trees. We do ask that you take particular care when driving on these roads, bearing in mind the conditions of your hire car rental agreement.

Extra day charges

Hire periods are calculated on a 24 hour basis. Therefore, additional charges may apply if you enter into an additional 24 hour hire period.If we are not made aware of this prior to your departure, charges will be made at the local rate by the car hire company.
