Bicycle in Corfu

This option is very affordable, as well, good for the environment, and it is making sure you are staying in shape. If you don’t mind cycling up the hills, then you should go for this option. 

Exploring around Corfu on a bike can be much more fun than walking too, you get to see everything around you are breathe the fresh air, while having fun, and riding a bike. 

There are plenty of bike rental places, some of them being Corfu Bicycle Rentals, Kontokali Bicycles, etc. The price of renting a bike for one whole day would be around 10€.

Rent A Car in Corfu

And our last, but not least option is renting a car in Corfu. This can be a good option if you like the comfort of riding in a car and want to stay away from taxies. 

But before renting a car, there are a few things you should know about Corfu. Corfu roads are very narrow, so if you are an inexperienced driver, we would not recommend this option. 

Don’t forget that using your phone and driving in Corfu is illegal, so you would pay a hefty fine if you were to get caught. 

Also, if you wanted to rent a car anywhere in Greece, you have to have an international driving license. So you could request a permit from AAA or the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). 

And one last thing, try renting a car before you even get to Greece because if you rent a car in advance, you could get some discounts. And if you were to rent a car upon your arrival, in a local car rental shop, you will probably get ripped off. 

The price of your car rental will differ depending on the type of car. If you were to go for the Economy car depending on your choice, the price would be 18€-35€ per day, if you went for the Intermediate car, it would cost you 24€, and a minivan would be 39€-57€.
