Most people taking their holidays in Corsica will hire a car, even if
it's just for a few days as you will get so much more out of your holiday.
We can offer discounted
car hire in Corsica through our partnership agreement with Avis who we have worked with for many years. We have always found to provide good
value for money and excellent service on the rare occasion there has been a problem (normally of our own making!).
Cars can be collected from any of the Corsican airports; Calvi, Bastia, Ajaccio and Figari, and also from some
town offices.
Driving yourself around the island really is the best way to explore
and although the roads are more narrow and mountainous than we are used to in the UK, the main routes are generally
in a better state of repair, and the traffic is much lighter.
Avis can also provide a variety of
extras such as baby seats (6 months and over), booster seats and SUPERCOVER which covers the excess usually charged by hire companies in the even of any damage to the
car or theft (between 600-1600 euros depending on the grade - click HERE for details).
ALL CARS HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.

for each car and make sure the correct driver's name(s) and details
have been entered, as this will speed up the collection of your car(s) on arrival.
Special grade cars
Avis also offer some special grade cars. There are a limited number of these cars
and they are in very high demand so it is advisable to book early. For these cars, a deposit of 250 euros is required
at the time of booking. Should the booking be cancelled more than 30 days before arrival, the deposit will be refunded,
but cancellations made within 30 days of arrival will result in a loss of deposit.
