Very little has changed on the Mediterranean Sea island of Corsica since the ancient Greeks first pronounced this possession of France situated east of the mainland as ‘the most beautiful.’ Car rental in Corsica can transport visitors to the island’s many ancient ruins from the Roman era, magnificent mountains, over 200 stunning beaches, and picturesque communities all within the same day.

Cheap car hire in Corsica can also be the only way to access many of the attractions on this island with few other options for public transportation, and car hire in Corsica can most easily be spotted in the island’s largest cities of Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, and Figari, as well as their respective airports.

Corsica is also a popular docking place for cruises and car ferries, and many of the European passengers who arrive to Corsica this way decide to transport their own vehicles for driving on the island. Many of the same places providing car rental in Corsica also supply motorcycles, bicycles, and scooters for rent.

There is only one major road in Corsica, and it leads to virtually all the island’s major communities. Corsica’s roads are well signed, so getting lost is virtually impossible, but on the rare occasion when this happens, visitors can always depend on help from the friendly locals.

Challenges on Corsica roads include mountain roads with turns, twists, and hairpin curves, as well as the rare chance encounter with an animal from a nearby farm. One of the most exciting things about a trip by car hire in Corsica is the ever changing scenery visitors will encounter along the way.
