If you have your own insurance through your credit card, you have to make sure to use the particular credit card for the car hire payment. In the unlucky event of a collision, there should be a file report of the accident or Police report and you have to request an invoice from our company. With the accident report and the invoice you will be able to file your claim for reimbursement of costs from your card issuer.

When you rent a car from us you are requested to drive only on asphalt roads. Therefore, if damages or accidents occur when driving off road, you will be liable for the total amount of damage.

In the case of any type of collision, even when there are no car damages or injuries, your responsibility is to: a) remain at the place of collision and b) contact us immediately so we can assess the situation and advise you properly. Contact CorfuCar rental office, on our emergency 24/7 mobile number: (+30) 6976498562.

If the damage happened when you were away of the rented vehicle, and you were not able to get their number plates, then you will be responsible for the damages. Generally you are responsible to park the rented car properly, in designated parking areas and under the local traffic law.

Car hire is paid on car pick up and in the event of returning the car earlier it is not possible to get a refund. The reason is that we usually work fully booked and the car most probably will remain unrented. Another reason is that the rate per day is relevant to the rental days. The more rental days the lower the daily rate gets.

Fuel level will be marked upon your agreement at pick and your responsibility is to return the car back with the same level of fuel. There is no refund for the extra fuel. Car hire company cannot buy fuel from the renter and cannot claim client’s expenses for fuel.

If you happen to return the car with less fuel, then our employee will calculate and charge you with the current amount per liter difference of fuel plus a refueling charge of 25 euros.

In the event of receiving a parking ticket or any Police ticket, you need to contact CorfuCar.Rentals car hire immediately. Fines/Tickets that remain unpaid, follow the company’s car, resulting in loss of income, or even number plates to be confiscated by the Police.

Fines/Tickets have to be paid asap at the Police station which is on the city center, on the side of the municipality Theatre on the Stamatiou Thesilla street.

We will send there an employee with a second key as soon as possible, so that you will be able to continue with your ride.

You need to calculate an amount of €100 to €250 approximately that you will be charged for the key replacement.

Clients of our car hire do not need to wash the car on return. Corfucar.rentals has its own car wash to prepare the vehicles for the next renter. Normal wear and dirt is accepted. But if the car interior is exceptionally dirty upon return, then extra charges will apply for deep cleaning. Our company has a non smoking policy for all vehicle types. Animals are aloowed only if contained in a kennel.

If renter wishes to prolong the rental period of the vehicle, has to notify our local office at least one day earlier. Please note that it may not always be possible to extend the car hire.

If you are accompanied by an infant, baby or child, you have the choice of a baby seat or booster seat for toddlers and up to 12 years old child. For very young babies up to nine months old, please choose a baby seat from the options menu and request for an infant seat at the notes section. As you will see Corfucar.rentals car hire is retaining the lowest rates for car child seats in the local car rental market.

In order to achieve high customer satisfaction and cover up all of our clients’ needs, we are probably the only car rental company in Corfu that provides strollers for children. This way our clients evade the extra high costs of transferring baby strollers by airplane.

Our unlimited free kilometers policy is set from 3 or more days of car hire. One day rentals have 100 kilometers free and two days rental have 220 kilometers free. Extra charges per kilometer will apply for Excess kilometers according to the car type.

Corfu is a rather big island with a very dense road system and distances of 120 kilometers from the North to the South and about 30 kilometers of width. There are approximately 140,000 inhabitants and the thing that it makes our island unique is the diversity of nature, of the coastline and beaches, and the architecture of our picturesque villages.

Inspired from Corfu lush green and rich nature and the hospitality of the locals, the famous Durrells family went on to tell the world about this island. Lawrence Durrell published the “Prospero’s Cell” and Gerald Durrell wrote the very popular “my family and other Animals” all based on their living experience in Corfu.

One might say that we are being subjective, but we think we are objective when we say that we live in perhaps the most beautiful island in the world with the most hospitable people.

To conclude, we have calculated that somebody needs at least 5 days to drive around Corfu in all directions, to finally say that I almost went everywhere.
