CAR
Renting a car is one of the the best ways to explore the island of Corfu. Corfu is quite a large island – if you decide to rent a car for the duration of your trip, you’ll have the ability to go wherever you want whenever you want.
Greek law requires that you obtain an international driving permit to rent a car. You can obtain a permit from AAA or the American Automobile Touring Alliance. Corfu’s roads are notorious for their narrow curves, so use caution. Also, keep in mind that talking on a cell phone while driving is illegal.
Dozens of car rental companies operate in Corfu and most will deliver your wheels to the airport or straight to your hotel.
SCOOTER/QUAD BIKE
Another great way to explore the island is by scooter or Quad bike.
Scooters and quad bikes are much easier to maneuver on the narrow roads and you’ll also be able to explore more parts of the island which you wouldn’t be able to access by car. Finding parking is also significantly easier too.
