Renting a car is the practical way to experience Corfu. The island stretches over 60 kilometres from Sidari in the north to Kavos in the south, and many of its best beaches, mountain villages and tavernas sit on roads that buses simply do not reach often enough. After working with several rental partners over the years, Herbie Cars is the operator we recommend by default — and this page explains exactly why.

Check availability →What makes Herbie a CorfuRide partner
We list partners only after we have spoken to the owners, met the team, and ideally tested the service ourselves. Herbie has been around since 2014 — long enough that mistakes have been made, learned from, and corrected. The team is small, family-run, and answers their phone. That last detail matters more than any pricing chart when something goes wrong on a Sunday evening 30 km from Corfu Town.
Why we recommend them
- Free delivery anywhere on the island — airport (CFU), port, your hotel, your villa, even a beach taverna if that is where you happen to be.
- Same-to-same fuel policy — no prepayment, no return-empty surcharges, no surprises on your card.
- Unlimited mileage — drive the full Corfu Trail or loop the island; the meter does not run.
- Free child seats included with every booking, properly fitted.
- 1-hour grace period on late returns — useful when a long lunch in Paleokastritsa runs over.
- 24/7 phone support in English and Greek, with WhatsApp/Viber for international guests.
Fleet and categories
Herbie keeps a hand-picked fleet of about 25 vehicles, refreshed regularly so cars are well-maintained rather than just plentiful. The categories cover most realistic Corfu trips:
- Economy & compact cars — for narrow village lanes and easy parking in Corfu Town.
- Premium SUVs — recommended if you plan to reach hidden west-coast beaches or hike sections of the Corfu Trail.
- Luxury and convertibles — including a Ford Mustang Cabrio for travellers who want their summer holiday photographed.
- ATVs and quads from 300cc to 600cc — practical for couples who want to ride paved coastal roads without a full car.
- Scooters and mopeds from 50cc to 350cc — the cheapest way to do day trips around the island.
Areas served & delivery
Free delivery covers Corfu Airport, Corfu Town and the port, plus dedicated drop-off points in Paleokastritsa, Kassiopi, Sidari and another half-dozen towns. If you are staying somewhere off the standard list, ask anyway — in practice they deliver almost everywhere on the island. Flight tracking by number is included, so the car arrives matched to your actual landing time rather than your scheduled one.

- Valid EU or international driving license, passport or national ID, and a credit or debit card in the main driver's name.
