Triple Seven | Corfu Airport Rent a Car | Car rentals from Port

What is included when you rent a car at Corfu Airport with Triple Seven?

Every Triple Seven rental at Corfu Airport includes free delivery and collection, unlimited mileage, third-party insurance required by Greek law, 24-hour road assistance and a map of the island. No deposit is taken and no credit card is required to reserve.

Triple Seven operates as an independent car rental company on Corfu, not as a broker. The distinction changes what a driver pays and what a driver signs. Broker platforms collect a booking fee, then hand the customer to a supplier desk that applies its own deposit rules. Triple Seven owns the fleet, writes the rental agreement and hands over the keys, so the price quoted at booking is the price charged at delivery.

The standard rental package covers five items. Delivery and collection of the vehicle run free of charge across the airport, the port and fifteen named locations on the island. Mileage carries no cap, so a drive from the airport to Kavos and back to Sidari costs nothing beyond fuel. Third-party liability coverage is included because Greek law makes it mandatory. Road assistance answers 24 hours a day. A printed map of Corfu comes with the car.

Rates start at €27.62 per day for a Type B car and are subject to 24% tax. Fuel consumed during the rental period is paid by the renter, and unused fuel is not refunded. Baby seats, booster seats and GPS units are supplied on request at the time of booking.

The company address is Kosta Georgaki 3, Airport 491 00, Corfu. Bookings run through the Book Your Car form, by email to info@corfuairportrentacar.com, or by phone on +30 26610 99294 and +30 698 564 7280.

Where do you collect your rental car at Corfu Airport (CFU)?

A Triple Seven representative meets every arriving customer in front of international or national arrivals at Corfu Airport, holding a board with the customer’s name. Collection happens at the terminal itself. No shuttle bus and no off-site depot transfer apply.

Corfu International Airport carries the IATA code CFU and the name Ioannis Kapodistrias, after the first head of state of independent Greece. The airport sits roughly 3 km south of Corfu Town, which puts the terminal closer to the island capital than almost any other Greek island airport. The single passenger terminal handles both international and domestic arrivals through one building, so the meeting point stays simple.

The handover sequence runs in four steps. Land and clear passport control where applicable. Collect luggage from the baggage hall. Walk out to the arrivals exit. Look for the Triple Seven representative holding a name board directly in front of the arrivals doors.

Customers who prefer to settle into accommodation first take delivery at the reception of their hotel or villa instead. The representative brings the car to the address at the agreed time. The choice belongs to the customer and is set during booking.

Return works the same way in reverse. The representative collects the vehicle from the terminal forecourt at the agreed time, checks the car and closes the agreement. A full step-by-step walkthrough of both directions sits in the guide to Car Rental Pickup In Corfu: A Smooth Step-By-Step Guide For Airport And Port Arrivals.

How much does a Corfu Airport rent a car cost per day?

Corfu Airport car rental with Triple Seven starts at €27.62 per day for a Type B economy car and reaches €38.50 per day for a Type N automatic crossover. All rates carry 24% tax and include unlimited mileage, delivery, collection and road assistance.

Daily rates divide across eight car groups plus a scooter. The table lists the starting rate for each group and the representative models assigned to it.

The spread between the cheapest and the dearest car group measures €10.88 per day. Across a seven-day rental that difference totals €76.16, which is the real cost of moving from a Type B economy hatchback to a Type N automatic crossover.

Automatic transmission carries a premium of €5.67 per day over the equivalent manual, measured between Type A at €29.30 and Type A1 Auto at €34.97. Drivers who compare an automatic against a manual before booking find the trade-off examined in Automatic Vs Manual Car Rental In Corfu: Which Choice Saves You Stress, Money, And Time.

Online prices move with demand and change without warning. A rate confirmed at booking is held for that booking. Rates quoted for July and August sit above rates quoted for May and October, because fleet availability tightens across the peak weeks. Three costs stay outside the daily rate: fuel consumed, deliveries outside 08:00–23:30, and hotel deliveries. The last two start at €20.00.

The full price list by model, with photographs and seat counts, sits on the Corfu Car Hire page. Guidance on timing a booking against the rate curve sits in the Corfu Car Rental Best Price Guide: How To Save More And Book The Right Vehicle.

Which car group fits your trip in Corfu?

Type A and Type B cars fit couples and Corfu Town parking. Type C, D and G cars fit families with luggage. Type A1, D1 and N automatics fit drivers who avoid hill starts. The scooter fits short coastal runs.

Corfu road conditions decide the choice more than price does. The island runs 64 km from north to south. Roads inside Corfu Town date to the Venetian street plan and narrow to single-car width in the old quarter. Roads climbing to Pelekas, Lakones and the Pantokrator approach carry tight switchbacks and gradients. Roads along the east coast between the airport and Kassiopi run wide and modern.

Type A and Type B — two adults, hand luggage, town parking

The Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo and Mazda 2 measure under 4 metres in length. That footprint parks in the metered bays around Garitsa Bay and Saroko where a full-size car does not fit. Both groups seat four and carry two cabin bags plus one hold bag. Fuel consumption on these engines keeps a week of island driving under one tank for most itineraries.

Type C, D and G — families, hold luggage, longer transfers

The Seat Ibiza, Peugeot 208, Nissan Micra, Renault Clio, Suzuki Baleno and Citroen C3 seat five and take one extra bag over the Type A footprint. These cars suit a family transferring from the airport to Acharavi or Kavos with hold luggage. The additional wheelbase steadies the car on the coastal road north of Nissaki.

Type A1, D1 and N automatics — no clutch on the hill roads

The Toyota Aygo Automatic, Kia Picanto Automatic, Peugeot 308 and Renault Captur remove clutch control from the equation. Drivers arriving from countries where automatic transmission dominates take these groups. The Renault Captur adds ride height, which helps on the unsealed final approach to beaches such as Agios Spiridon and Porto Timoni.

Scooter 125cc — coastal runs within one resort area

The Sym Symphony 125cc requires an A1 or A category licence. The scooter covers short runs between a resort and the nearest beach. Luggage capacity limits it to a day bag.

Bookings select a car group, not a specific model. The vehicle supplied belongs to the chosen group. Where the chosen group runs out, Triple Seven supplies a car of equal or higher value. A group-by-group breakdown with photographs sits on the Corfu Car Hire page, and the case for touring the interior sits in Car Hire For Exploring Corfu Villages: The Smartest Way To See The Island.

Do you need a credit card or a deposit for Corfu Airport car rentals?

No. Triple Seven takes no deposit and requires no credit card. No amount is blocked or pre-authorised on any card. Payment falls due on arrival when the vehicle is delivered, in cash or by card, in Euros.

Deposit policy separates independent operators from broker-supplied desks. A broker-supplied desk blocks an amount on a credit card held in the main driver’s name, releases it days after the return, and refuses the rental where the card fails. Triple Seven removes that step. No open card is held. No security amount is frozen.

Card ownership rules relax as well. The card presented at delivery belongs to either driver on the agreement, not exclusively to the lead driver. Customers who prefer cards register the card details on the booking page, and the charge processes at delivery of the vehicle. Visa, Mastercard and Maestro are accepted. Cash in Euros is accepted at the same point.

Three consequences follow for the traveller. Card limits stay free for hotels, restaurants and excursions across the trip. Debit-card holders rent on the same terms as credit-card holders. Travellers whose card expires shortly after the trip face no blocked balance carried past the return date.

The reasoning behind no-deposit rentals, and the questions to ask any Corfu supplier that does hold a deposit, appear in Corfu Rent A Car No Deposit: How To Save Money And Avoid Rental Stress.

What are the age and driving licence requirements at Corfu Airport?

Drivers hiring car groups A, B and C are at least 24 years old. Drivers hiring every other car group are at least 25. Both cases require a full licence held for a minimum of two years.

Licence acceptance follows Greek legislation and splits by issuing country. Original licences issued by EU member states are accepted as they stand. Licences issued outside the EU require an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. The permit is issued in the driver’s home country before travel and cannot be obtained on arrival in Corfu. The European Commission publishes the current cross-border licence rules on its Your Europe driving licence guidance.

The two-year experience requirement applies to the licence date, not to the driver’s age. A driver aged 30 holding a licence issued 14 months earlier does not meet the requirement. A driver aged 24 holding a licence issued six years earlier meets it for groups A, B and C.

Additional drivers are added to the rental agreement at booking or at delivery. An unlisted driver at the wheel voids the insurance cover entirely. Insurance also lapses for any driver under 21 years of age.

Documentation to carry at delivery covers three items: the original driving licence, an International Driving Permit for non-EU licences, and a passport or national identity card. The age question is treated in depth in Car Rental Age Requirements In Corfu: What Drivers Need To Know Before Booking.

What does the insurance cover, and what does the renter pay?

Third-party liability is included on every Triple Seven vehicle as Greek law requires. Accident damage is covered to €3,000, and the renter pays the first €150. Tyres, wheels, glass, mirrors, roof, interior and undercarriage sit outside the cover.

Coverage divides into three layers, and each layer has a defined boundary.

Third-party liability — included by law

Damage caused to other parties is covered on all Triple Seven vehicles. Greek law makes this layer mandatory, so no rental is issued without it and no upsell applies to it.

Collision Damage Waiver and Full Damage Waiver — the €150 excess

Accident damage to the rented vehicle is covered up to €3,000. The renter carries the first €150 of any claim. A repair assessed at €900 therefore costs the renter €150 and the insurer €750. A repair assessed at €3,400 costs the renter €150 plus the €400 that exceeds the ceiling.

Excluded parts — reimbursed in full by the renter

Seven parts of the vehicle fall outside both waiver policies. The renter reimburses damage to each in full.

• Tyres, on every wheel position
• Wheels and rims
• Glass parts, including the windscreen
• Mirrors
• Roof panels
• Interior trim and upholstery
• Undercarriage, including the sump and exhaust

Six situations void the cover in full. Driving by a person absent from the rental agreement voids it. Driving under 21 years of age voids it. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs voids it. Driving against traffic regulations voids it. Carrying more passengers than the licensed capacity voids it. Losing the keys, or leaving the keys in the vehicle when it is stolen, voids it.

A police report is mandatory. Damage or an accident recorded without a police report receives no insurance settlement. The sequence after an incident runs: telephone Triple Seven on +30 26610 99294 or +30 698 564 7280, wait at the scene, allow the police to complete the accident report, then continue.

Undercarriage damage and tyre damage account for the exclusions that surprise drivers most, because both arise on the unsealed tracks leading to the quieter beaches. Inspecting the car before driving away limits later disputes, and the method is set out in Checking Rental Car Condition In Corfu: A Smart Pre-Drive Checklist To Avoid Disputes. Full policy wording sits on the Corfu Car Rental terms and insurance page.

Where does Triple Seven deliver and collect a Corfu Airport car for rent free of charge?

Free delivery and collection cover sixteen points: Corfu International Airport, Corfu Port, Corfu Centre, the Bus Station, Garitsa, Kanoni, Saroko, Mandouki, Alikes, Potamos, Solari, Alepou, Paleokastritsa, Gouvia, Marina Gouvion and the company office, between 08:00 and 23:30.

The delivery network follows the population and arrival corridors of central Corfu rather than a single airport desk. Arrivals by air take the car at the terminal. Arrivals by sea take the car at Corfu Port, where ferries from Igoumenitsa, Patras and Italian ports berth, and where cruise ships dock. Guests already on the island take the car at a named district.

The sixteen points group into four clusters.

• Arrival gateways — Corfu International Airport, Corfu Port, the Bus Station
• Corfu Town districts — Corfu Centre, Garitsa, Saroko, Mandouki, Alepou, Kanoni
• Northern coastal strip — Gouvia, Marina Gouvion, Alikes, Potamos, Solari
• West coast — Paleokastritsa

Two charges apply outside the free network. Deliveries outside the 08:00–23:30 window start at €20.00. Deliveries to hotels start at €20.00. Both figures are confirmed at booking, so the total is known before travel.

Collection mirrors delivery. A customer who takes the car at the airport returns it at Paleokastritsa, or takes it at Gouvia and returns it at the port, without a relocation charge inside the free network. The arrangement suits itineraries that end with a ferry to Igoumenitsa rather than a flight from CFU.

One restriction governs the vehicle’s movement. Triple Seven cars do not board boats and do not cross Greek borders. A trip to Albania or to the Greek mainland by ferry therefore runs without the rental car.

How do you book a car at Corfu Airport?

Booking runs through the online reservation form, by email to info@corfuairportrentacar.com, or by telephone. The form takes an email address or a telephone number. No deposit and no open credit card are taken during reservation.

The reservation sequence covers five decisions. Select the pick-up date and time from the flight arrival. Select the return date and time. Select a car group from the fleet list. Select extras, covering baby seats, booster seats and GPS. Enter contact details and confirm.

Child-seat requests carry extra fields. The form accepts the age, height and weight of the child in the comment box, which lets Triple Seven fit the correct seat class rather than a generic one. Seat types available are listed on the terms page.

Confirmation arrives by email or telephone. Payment falls due at delivery, not at booking. Amendments and cancellations run by email or telephone up to 48 hours before the agreed date and carry no fee. Triple Seven accepts cancellations at no charge as a matter of policy.

Extending a rental already under way takes one telephone call, placed with enough notice for the fleet to be re-planned. Start the reservation on the Book Your Car page, or reach the team through the Corfu Airport Rent a Car contact page.

What happens when your flight to Corfu arrives late?

Triple Seven staff wait at Corfu Airport until the delayed flight lands. No extra charge applies for the wait. The rental period starts at the pick-up time recorded on the agreement.

Flight delay handling separates an airport desk from a meet-and-greet operation. An airport desk closes at a published hour and a passenger landing after that hour collects the car the following morning. Triple Seven tracks the arrival and sends the representative to match it.

Two obligations balance the arrangement. Triple Seven waits for the delayed flight without charging for the delay. The customer informs Triple Seven of a delay in collection that does not stem from the flight, because an uninformed late collection attracts hourly charges.

Late-evening arrivals into CFU are common across the summer schedule, when charter traffic from northern Europe pushes landings past 23:00. The free delivery window runs to 23:30. Arrivals landing after that hour are still met, with the after-hours delivery charge starting at €20.00 applied and confirmed in advance.

Automatic or manual: which Corfu Airport car suits the island roads?

Manual cars cost €5.67 per day less and suit drivers comfortable with hill starts. Automatic cars remove clutch control on the switchback roads to Pelekas, Lakones and Pantokrator, and suit drivers arriving from automatic-dominant markets.

Corfu terrain sets the terms of the choice. Mount Pantokrator rises to 906 metres and the road to its summit climbs in sustained hairpins. The road from Corfu Town to Paleokastritsa crosses the ridge at Lakones with a series of tight bends and blind corners. The old quarter of Corfu Town combines narrow lanes, steep camber and frequent stops.

Manual transmission delivers three advantages. The daily rate runs €5.67 lower on the equivalent group. Engine braking controls speed on long descents such as the drop from Lakones toward Paleokastritsa bay. Availability across the fleet is broader, because six of the eight car groups are manual.

Automatic transmission delivers three different advantages. Hill starts on a 15% gradient in summer queue traffic take no clutch judgment. Stop-start driving along the coastal strip between Gouvia and Ipsos in August demands less of the driver. Drivers from the United States, Canada and Australia, where automatics dominate, drive on familiar controls while adjusting to right-hand-side traffic.

Availability decides the question in practice during July and August. Automatic groups A1, D1 and N hold fewer units than the manual groups, and they clear first. A traveller committed to an automatic books earlier than a traveller flexible on transmission. The full comparison sits in Automatic Vs Manual Car Rental In Corfu: Which Choice Saves You Stress, Money, And Time, and availability patterns are covered in Automatic Car Hire Availability In Corfu: Where To Find The Best Options.

How far can you drive from Corfu Airport in a day?

Corfu measures 64 km north to south, and every resort sits within 50 km of the airport. Kavos at the southern tip lies about 47 km away. Sidari on the north coast lies about 37 km away. Unlimited mileage removes any distance cap.

Distances from CFU stay short by Greek island standards, which is why a car converts a Corfu holiday more sharply than it does on larger islands. The table lists approximate road distances from Corfu Airport.

Road distance understates journey time on the west and north coasts. The 25 km to Paleokastritsa crosses the ridge at Lakones on a bending road, so the drive runs longer than the 25 km suggests. The 47 km to Kavos follows the wider southern road and moves faster per kilometre.

Three day-trip patterns work from a single base. A northern loop links Ipsos, Barbati, Nissaki, Kassiopi and Acharavi along the channel facing Albania. A western loop links Paleokastritsa, Lakones, Angelokastro and Agios Georgios. A southern run links Messonghi, Lefkimmi, the Korission Lagoon and Kavos.

Which driving rules apply in Corfu?

Greece drives on the right. Seat belts are compulsory in front and rear seats. Mobile phone use without a hands-free system is prohibited. Fines for traffic violations during the rental period fall to the renter.

Traffic law in Corfu is Greek national law, and the rental agreement passes any penalty to the driver who incurred it. Four rules govern most of the risk on the island.

• Drive on the right and overtake on the left
• Wear seat belts in every seat, front and rear
• Use a hands-free system for any telephone call
• Carry the driving licence, and the International Driving Permit for non-EU licences, at all times

Corfu road conditions add three local factors. Village roads narrow without warning where houses meet the carriageway, so oncoming traffic negotiates passing places. Scooters and quad bikes appear in volume through the summer months and overtake on both sides. Olive-grove tracks leading to smaller beaches turn to loose gravel, and loose gravel damages tyres and undercarriage, neither of which the insurance covers.

Parking in Corfu Town runs on marked bays around Saroko and Garitsa Bay. The old quarter inside the Venetian street plan restricts vehicle access, so the practical approach parks outside the old town and continues on foot.

Fuel stations concentrate along the eastern corridor between the airport, Corfu Town and Gouvia. Stations thin out toward the north-west and the far south. A tank topped up before a Sidari or Kavos run avoids the detour.

The complete rule set for visiting drivers sits in Driving In Corfu: 10 Essential Rules And Local Tips For A Safer Trip, with hazard-specific guidance in Corfu Road Safety Tips For Tourists: Drive Confidently And Avoid Common Island Mistakes.

When do you book Corfu Airport cars for the best rate?

Book earliest for July and August travel, when fleet availability across the island tightens and online prices rise with demand. May, June, September and October carry broader availability and lower published rates.

Corfu operates a seasonal tourism economy, and rental supply tracks it. Peak weeks concentrate charter arrivals from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Poland into the same Saturdays and Sundays. Fleet demand peaks on those turnaround days rather than spreading evenly across the week.

Three booking windows behave differently.

• Reserve months ahead for July and August, and reserve automatics first, because groups A1, D1 and N clear earliest
• Reserve weeks ahead for June and September, when supply holds and rates sit below peak
• Reserve days ahead for November to March, when demand falls and the fleet carries slack

Two mechanics drive the peak-season premium. Online prices change according to demand without warning, so an early booking locks a rate before the curve rises. Fleet size is finite on an island, so the cheapest groups sell out first and the remaining choice sits higher up the price list.

Booking early costs nothing at Triple Seven, because no deposit is taken and cancellation carries no fee up to 48 hours before the agreed date. The asymmetry favours booking early: an early reservation secures the rate and the group, and cancelling it costs nothing.

Seasonal patterns are set out in Best Time To Rent A Car In Corfu: Save Money, Avoid Sellouts, And Drive Stress-Free, and pre-booking economics in Benefits Of Pre-Booking A Car Rental In Corfu: Save Money, Skip Stress And Drive Sooner.

Which extras does Triple Seven supply on request?

Triple Seven supplies baby seats, booster seats and GPS navigation units on request at booking. Additional drivers are added to the rental agreement. Every extra is requested through the reservation form or by telephone before arrival.

Extras are requested in advance because stock is finite and the vehicle is prepared before delivery. Four extras cover the common requirements.

• Fit a baby seat, specifying the child’s age, height and weight in the booking comment box
• Fit a booster seat for older children, requested the same way
• Add a GPS navigation unit, placed in the car before delivery
• Add a second driver to the rental agreement, at booking or at delivery

Child-seat sizing matters legally and practically. Supplying the age, height and weight lets Triple Seven fit the correct seat class rather than a default unit. Seat types held are listed on the terms page.

Adding a second driver is the extra with the sharpest consequence for skipping it. A driver absent from the rental agreement voids the insurance cover entirely, so a partner who takes a turn at the wheel without being listed leaves the vehicle uninsured.

Navigation is covered by the supplied GPS unit or by a phone application, and each option carries different offline behaviour on the mountain roads. The comparison sits in Best GPS Options For Corfu Road Trips: Smart Navigation Choices For Stress-Free Island Travel. Packing guidance for an island road trip sits in Essential Items To Pack For A Corfu Road Trip: The Smart Checklist For Stress-Free Driving.

How do Corfu Airport car rentals compare with taxis and buses?

A Type B rental at €27.62 per day covers unlimited kilometres across Corfu. Taxis charge per journey and buses follow fixed routes and timetables. A car pays for itself on the second journey of most itineraries.

Three transport options serve an arrival at CFU, and each carries a different cost structure.

Taxis charge per journey. A transfer from the airport to a northern resort such as Acharavi or Sidari covers 37 to 38 km one way. Every subsequent trip to a beach, a taverna or a village restarts the meter. A family of four running two outings a day repeats that charge four times.

Buses run on the KTEL network from Corfu Town, not from the airport terminal, so a bus journey begins with a transfer into town. Routes radiate from the town toward the main resorts and return on a published timetable. Services thin sharply outside the summer schedule and on Sundays. Villages away from the trunk routes carry no service at all.

A rental car carries one fixed daily cost and no per-journey charge. Unlimited mileage means the drive from Kavos in the south to Sidari in the north-west adds nothing to the invoice. Delivery to the terminal removes the transfer into Corfu Town that a bus itinerary requires.

The arithmetic favours the car wherever an itinerary includes more than one destination. A week based in Dassia with daily outings to beaches, Corfu Town and a hill village generates roughly fourteen journeys. Fourteen taxi fares exceed seven days of Type B rental by a wide margin, and the bus alternative removes the hill villages from the itinerary entirely.

The car also unlocks locations that public transport does not reach. Porto Timoni, Agios Spiridon, the Korission Lagoon and the ridge villages above Paleokastritsa sit off the bus network. The full case is set out in Advantages Of Renting A Car In Corfu: 10 Reasons It Makes Your Trip Easier.

Which documents do you present when you collect the car?

Present three documents at delivery: the original driving licence, a passport or national identity card, and an International Driving Permit where the licence was issued outside the EU. Payment follows in cash or by card, in Euros.

Document checks at handover take minutes because Triple Seven runs no deposit process and no card pre-authorisation. The representative verifies identity and licence, completes the rental agreement, and hands over the keys.

• Carry the original driving licence, held for a minimum of two years
• Carry a passport or national identity card for identification
• Carry an International Driving Permit alongside a non-EU licence, as Greek legislation requires
• Carry the licence of every additional driver named on the agreement

Photocopies and photographs of a licence are not originals. Greek legislation requires the original document, and the representative checks it at handover. A driver whose licence sits in a hotel safe collects it before taking the wheel.

Payment happens at the same moment. Cash in Euros is accepted. Visa, Mastercard and Maestro are accepted. Customers who registered card details at booking complete the charge at delivery. No deposit is added on top and no amount is blocked for later release.

The rental agreement records the additional drivers, the extras fitted and the agreed return point. Reading it before signing matters, because an unlisted driver voids the insurance and a misrecorded return point complicates collection.

What happens if the rental car breaks down in Corfu?

Road assistance answers 24 hours a day on +30 26610 99294 and +30 698 564 7280. Triple Seven replaces a vehicle that breaks down within 24 hours, as the rental terms oblige. Road assistance is included in every daily rate.

Two obligations sit in the terms and they work in the renter’s favour. Road assistance runs around the clock and carries no extra charge. A breakdown obliges Triple Seven to supply a replacement vehicle within 24 hours.

The sequence after a breakdown runs in four steps. Stop the car in a safe position clear of the carriageway. Telephone Triple Seven on the assistance numbers. Describe the location using the nearest village or road landmark. Wait with the vehicle for the assistance team.

An accident follows a different sequence, because insurance settlement depends on documentation. Telephone Triple Seven first. Remain at the scene. Allow the police to attend and complete the accident report. Damage recorded without a police report receives no insurance settlement, whatever the circumstances.

Mechanical failure and accident damage are treated separately in the terms. Mechanical failure triggers the 24-hour replacement obligation. Accident damage triggers the insurance process, with the €150 excess and the excluded parts described above.

Preparation reduces the odds of either. Triple Seven services its fleet through experienced mechanics on Corfu and cleans every car inside and out before handover. Inspecting the vehicle at delivery records any pre-existing marks before the drive begins. Emergency handling for visiting drivers is covered in Dealing With Roadside Emergencies In Corfu: A Practical Safety Guide For Drivers.

How do you refuel a rental car in Corfu?

The renter pays for fuel consumed during the rental period, and unused fuel receives no refund. Fuel stations concentrate along the eastern corridor between Corfu Airport, Corfu Town and Gouvia, and thin toward the north-west and the far south.

The fuel policy is stated plainly in the rental terms: petrol consumed during the rental period is paid by the renter, and no refunds apply. The practical consequence is to return the car with the fuel level agreed rather than with a full tank purchased at the last minute.

Station distribution follows the population, and Corfu’s population concentrates on the east coast. Stations cluster around the airport approach, the Corfu Town ring road, Kontokali, Gouvia and Dassia. Coverage stays adequate as far north as Ipsos and as far south as Messonghi.

Three routes deserve a full tank before departure.

• Fill before a Sidari, Arillas or Agios Georgios North run on the north-west coast
• Fill before a Kavos or Lefkimmi run in the far south
• Fill before the Pantokrator summit road, where the climb consumes more than the distance suggests

Opening hours vary outside the summer season and rural stations close on Sunday. Payment by card is common on the main corridor and less certain in the villages, so carrying cash on a rural route avoids a wasted stop.

Fuel economy shifts the running cost between car groups. The Type A and Type B small petrol engines consume least, which compounds their lower daily rate across a week of island driving. Cost-control tactics across the whole rental appear in Corfu Car Rental Without Surprise Charges: 10 Smart Ways To Avoid Extra Fees.

Where do you park a rental car in Corfu Town?

Park in the marked bays around Saroko and Garitsa Bay, then continue into the old town on foot. The Venetian street plan inside the old quarter restricts vehicle access and narrows to single-car width.

Corfu Town is a UNESCO-listed old town built on a Venetian street grid, and that grid predates the car. Lanes in the Campiello quarter run narrower than a modern hatchback in places, and the surface underfoot is stone rather than asphalt. Driving into the core creates a problem rather than solving one.

Three parking areas serve visitors arriving by car.

• Park at Saroko, the main square on the western edge of the centre, within a short walk of the Liston and the Spianada
• Park along Garitsa Bay to the south, where the seafront road carries marked bays
• Park at the New Port area to the north-west when arriving on a ferry day

Vehicle size decides how easily this works. The Type A and Type B groups, all under 4 metres, fit bays that a Type G or Type N does not. Travellers who plan repeated town visits weigh that against the extra luggage space of the larger groups.

The airport sits 3 km from the town centre, which makes the town a short drive from the terminal and an easy first stop after collecting the car. The port sits 4 km away on the other side of the centre. Both distances keep the town within reach from any base on the island.

Which day trips work alongside a Corfu Airport car rental?

Triple Seven vehicles do not board boats and do not cross Greek borders. Day trips to Albania, Paxos or the mainland run on foot as a ferry passenger, with the rental car left parked at Corfu Port.

The restriction is absolute and it shapes how an itinerary combines road and sea. The car covers Corfu itself without limit. Excursions leaving the island leave the car behind.

Corfu Port handles the departures that matter for a visitor. Ferries cross to Igoumenitsa on the mainland. Ferries and hydrofoils run to Saranda in Albania. Excursion boats serve Paxos and Antipaxos through the season. The port sits 4 km from the airport and falls inside the free delivery and collection network.

Two patterns work well around the restriction.

• Drive to Corfu Port, park, cross as a foot passenger, and return to the car the same evening
• Return the car at Corfu Port at the end of the rental, then cross to Igoumenitsa to continue by mainland transport

The second pattern uses the free collection network to its full value. A customer collects the car at the airport on arrival and returns it at the port on departure, with no relocation charge, because both points sit inside the free network.

Boat excursions to the sea caves at Paleokastritsa and to the beaches reachable only from the water depart from resort jetties rather than the main port. Driving to the jetty and taking the boat from there keeps the car on the island and inside the terms.

Why do travellers choose an independent Corfu car rental company?

Triple Seven owns its fleet, writes the rental agreement and delivers the car itself. No broker sits between the customer and the supplier, so the quoted price, the deposit policy and the insurance terms are set by one company.

Broker platforms and independent operators run different business models, and the difference reaches the customer at the desk rather than at the checkout.

A broker sells a reservation and passes the customer to a supplier. The supplier applies its own deposit rules, its own insurance upsell and its own vehicle allocation. A customer who booked a headline rate on a comparison site meets those terms for the first time on arrival, after a flight, holding luggage.

An independent operator sets one set of terms. Triple Seven states the deposit policy as no deposit, states the card requirement as no credit card, states mileage as unlimited, and states delivery and collection as free across sixteen points. The company that quoted those terms is the company that hands over the keys.

Four differences follow for the customer.

• Compare one price rather than a headline rate plus counter charges
• Skip the deposit block that ties up a card balance for the trip
• Speak to the company that owns the car when a question arises mid-rental
• Collect at the terminal from a named representative rather than at a shuttle depot

Triple Seven maintains its fleet through experienced mechanics on Corfu and delivers every car cleaned inside and out. The charges written into the rental agreement are the charges applied. How to read the market and separate genuine value from a low headline rate is set out in Corfu Car Hire Comparison: How To Find The Best Value Without Hidden Costs, in Local Vs International Car Rental Companies In Corfu: Which Saves You More, and in How To Avoid Common Car Rental Scams In Corfu: A Smart Traveler’s Guide.

Which Corfu beaches reach easily from the airport by car?

Glyfada and Agios Gordios sit about 16 to 17 km west of Corfu Airport. Paleokastritsa sits about 25 km north-west. Barbati and Nissaki sit 19 to 22 km north on the east coast. Every one is a day trip from any base.

Corfu’s coastline changes character by compass point, and a car makes the whole range reachable from one base. The east coast faces Albania across a narrow channel and holds calm, shelving water. The west coast faces the open Ionian and holds cliffs, sunsets and bigger surf. The south holds the longest sand.

West coast — cliffs, sunsets and the longest drives

Paleokastritsa lies about 25 km from the airport across the ridge at Lakones. The bay splits into coves beneath wooded headlands, and boats run from the beach to the sea caves. Glyfada and Ermones sit closer at roughly 16 to 17 km, both reached over the hills behind Pelekas. Agios Gordios, about 17 km out, holds a broad sand-and-shingle bay under the rock stacks.

East coast — calm water and the shortest drives

Barbati at about 19 km and Nissaki at about 22 km sit beneath the slopes of Pantokrator, with clear water over white pebble. Dassia and Ipsos, 12 to 14 km out, combine beach with resort amenities. All four lie on the well-surfaced coastal road north of the airport, which makes them the quickest beach runs on the island.

North and south — the longer days out

Sidari at about 37 km and Acharavi at about 38 km anchor the north coast, with Kassiopi at about 36 km on the north-east corner. Kavos at about 47 km and the Korission Lagoon in the south round out the range. Unlimited mileage means none of these distances adds to the rental cost.

Road surface changes on the final approach to the quieter bays. Tracks to Porto Timoni and Agios Spiridon turn to loose gravel, and gravel damages tyres and undercarriage, neither of which the insurance covers. Parking at the sealed road and walking the last stretch protects the excluded parts. Beach-by-beach access notes sit in Best Corfu Beaches Accessible By Car: 10 Scenic Shores Worth The Drive.

How does a Corfu car rental work for a cruise or ferry passenger at Corfu Port?

Corfu Port sits inside the free delivery and collection network, 4 km from Corfu Airport. A Triple Seven representative delivers the car at the port between 08:00 and 23:30 at no charge, on the same terms as an airport delivery.

Corfu Port serves three kinds of arrival, and a rental car works for all three. Cruise ships dock for a single day in port. Ferries arrive from Igoumenitsa on the Greek mainland. Ferries arrive from Italian ports including Venice, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi.

A cruise passenger gains the most from the arrangement. A ship in port for eight hours converts into a full island day by car: Paleokastritsa at 25 km, Corfu Town at 4 km, or the northern coast road to Kassiopi at 36 km. A coach excursion covers one destination on a fixed schedule; a rental car covers three on the passenger’s own.

The mechanics match the airport process. Book in advance through the reservation form, specifying Corfu Port as the delivery point and the ship’s arrival time as the pick-up time. Meet the representative at the port. Present the licence and identification. Pay in cash or by card, in Euros, with no deposit taken.

Return arrangements stay flexible inside the free network. A passenger arriving by ferry and departing by air collects at Corfu Port and returns at Corfu Airport, with no relocation charge, because both sit inside the free delivery network. The reverse works equally.

One timing rule governs a same-day cruise call. The free delivery window runs 08:00 to 23:30, and deliveries outside those hours start at €20.00. Ships berthing before 08:00 therefore agree the earlier delivery and its charge at booking.

What does a Corfu Airport car rental cost across a full week?

Seven days in a Type B car start at €193.34. Seven days in a Type A car start at €205.10. Seven days in a Type A1 automatic start at €244.79. Each figure includes unlimited mileage, delivery, collection and road assistance, and carries 24% tax.

Weekly arithmetic clarifies the choice between groups better than a daily rate does, because the daily gap compounds across the stay.

The gap between the cheapest and dearest car across seven days measures €76.16. Moving from a Type A manual to a Type A1 automatic costs €39.69 across the week. Moving from a Type B to a Type G, which buys a larger boot and a longer wheelbase, costs €41.02.

Three items sit outside these figures. Fuel consumed is paid by the renter and is not refunded. Deliveries outside 08:00 to 23:30 start at €20.00. Hotel deliveries start at €20.00. Nothing else is added: no deposit, no card block, no mileage charge and no second-driver fee for a driver named on the agreement.

Online prices move with demand, so the figures above represent starting rates rather than a fixed tariff. A rate confirmed at booking is held for that booking, and cancellation carries no fee up to 48 hours before the agreed date. Booking early therefore locks the rate at no risk. Start on the Book Your Car page or review the full model list on the Corfu Car Hire page.

Can you arrange a one-way or long-term car rental in Corfu?

One-way rentals run free of charge between any two points in the sixteen-location delivery network, including airport to port. Longer rental periods are agreed at the time of booking, with the same daily rate structure applied across the extended term.

One-way movement inside the free network carries no relocation charge, because delivery and collection are both free at each of the sixteen points. Three itineraries use this directly.

• Collect at Corfu Airport on arrival and return at Corfu Port before a ferry to Igoumenitsa
• Collect at Corfu Port after an Italian crossing and return at Corfu Airport before a flight home
• Collect at Gouvia or Paleokastritsa mid-stay and return at the airport on departure day

Long-term rentals follow the same agreement structure as a weekly booking. The rental period is set at booking rather than fixed by a standard tariff, so a month-long stay is quoted directly. Unlimited mileage carries across the full term, which matters more on a long rental than a short one.

Two conditions hold regardless of duration. The vehicle does not board boats and does not cross Greek borders, so an extended rental stays on Corfu. Every driver taking the wheel appears on the rental agreement, because an unlisted driver voids the insurance for the whole term.

Corfu Airport car rental — frequently asked questions

How much does a car rental at Corfu Airport cost?

Rates start at €27.62 per day for a Type B car, €29.30 per day for a Type A car and €38.50 per day for a Type N automatic. All rates carry 24% tax and include unlimited mileage, delivery, collection and 24-hour road assistance. Fuel consumed during the rental is paid separately by the renter.

Do you block any money on the credit card?

No amount is blocked on any card. Triple Seven takes no deposit and holds no open credit card. Payment falls due at delivery of the vehicle, in cash or by card, in Euros. The card presented belongs to either driver named on the agreement.

Where do I find your car rental at Corfu Airport?

A representative waits in front of the international or national arrivals exit holding a board with your name. Collection happens at the terminal. Customers who prefer delivery to their accommodation take the car at the reception of the hotel or villa instead.

How old must I be to rent a car at Corfu Airport?

Car groups A, B and C require a minimum age of 24. Every other car group requires a minimum age of 25. Both cases require a full driving licence held for at least two years. Insurance cover lapses for any driver under 21.

Do I need an International Driving Permit in Corfu?

Licences issued by EU member states are accepted in their original form. Licences issued outside the EU require an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence, under Greek legislation. The permit is obtained in the driver’s home country before travelling to Corfu.

Can I add a second driver to my Corfu Airport car hire?

Second drivers are added to the rental agreement at booking or at delivery. Listing the second driver is mandatory for cover. A driver absent from the agreement voids the insurance entirely, including in the event of an accident that is not their fault.

What is the excess if the rental car is damaged?

Accident damage is covered to €3,000, and the renter pays the first €150. Tyres, wheels, glass, mirrors, roof, interior and undercarriage fall outside the cover and are reimbursed in full by the renter. A police report is mandatory for any claim.

Can I cancel a car booking at Corfu Airport?

Cancellations are accepted at no charge. Amend or cancel by email to info@corfuairportrentacar.com or by telephone at least 48 hours before the agreed date. No cancellation fee applies, and no deposit is held to forfeit.

What happens if my flight to Corfu is delayed?

Triple Seven staff wait at Corfu Airport until the delayed flight lands, at no extra cost. Delays in collection that do not stem from the flight are reported to the company in advance, because an uninformed late collection attracts hourly charges.

Can I take the rental car to Albania or the Greek mainland?

No. Triple Seven vehicles do not board boats and do not cross Greek borders. A day trip to Saranda in Albania or a ferry crossing to Igoumenitsa runs on foot as a passenger, with the rental car left in Corfu.

Where can I collect and return the car apart from the airport?

Free delivery and collection cover Corfu Port, Corfu Centre, the Bus Station, Garitsa, Kanoni, Saroko, Mandouki, Alikes, Potamos, Solari, Alepou, Paleokastritsa, Gouvia, Marina Gouvion and the company office, between 08:00 and 23:30. Deliveries outside those hours and deliveries to hotels start at €20.00.

What is included in the daily rate?

The daily rate covers delivery and collection within the free network, unlimited mileage, third-party insurance required by Greek law, 24-hour road assistance and a map of the island. Fuel, after-hours delivery and hotel delivery sit outside the rate.

Is there a minimum rental period at Corfu Airport?

The rental period is agreed at the time of booking. The period starts at the pick-up time recorded on the rental agreement. Collection delayed without notifying the company attracts hourly charges, so a change of arrival plan is reported by telephone or email before the agreed time.

Can I extend the rental once I am on the island?

Extensions are arranged by telephoning Triple Seven with enough notice for the fleet to be re-planned. The same daily rate structure applies to the additional days. Extending mid-rental avoids returning the car and opening a second agreement, and it keeps the same vehicle with the same driver on the paperwork.

Do you deliver a rental car to my hotel in Corfu?

Hotel deliveries are available across the island and start at €20.00. Delivery is free at sixteen points, covering Corfu Airport, Corfu Port, Corfu Centre, the Bus Station, Garitsa, Kanoni, Saroko, Mandouki, Alikes, Potamos, Solari, Alepou, Paleokastritsa, Gouvia, Marina Gouvion and the company office, between 08:00 and 23:30.

Which payment methods do you accept at Corfu Airport?

Cash in Euros is accepted at delivery. Visa, Mastercard and Maestro are accepted at delivery. Card details registered during booking are charged when the vehicle is handed over. No deposit is taken, no amount is blocked, and the card presented belongs to either driver named on the rental agreement.

Further answers sit on the FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions about car rentals page, and the island itself is covered on the Corfu Airport Rent a Car guide. Corfu International Airport, the arrival point for every flight-borne rental, is documented at Corfu International Airport.
