Close to Bonifacio and Porto Vecchio, Figari is the ideal site to rent a vehicle and explore both Corsica and the neighboring island of Sardinia or the coasts of Italy and mainland France. You can easily reach Nice and Toulon by ferry.

The Figari Sud Corse airport is one of the four on the island and hosts the Europcar Figari (Porto Vecchio) agency. This makes it easily accessible to those arriving on the island by plane, but also by ferry thanks to regular lines with Italy and mainland France.

You will find many car and van rental options in Figari. Smaller cars such as the Fiat 500 and the Volkswagen Polo are perfect for navigating the island in comfort, while families and larger groups will likely prefer more spacious models like the Ford Focus or the Peugeot Partner.

If you are arriving from abroad, remember that driving in Corsica is on the right, as on the mainland. Speed limits are displayed in km/h and road signs give distances in kilometers.

To rent a car in Corsica with Europcar, you will need a valid driving license in the European Union.

Although the maximum speed limit is 90 km/h in Corsica, wind, rugged terrain, and the poor condition of some roads often make it impossible to drive faster than 60 km/h.

Although the condition of Corsican roads has improved in recent years, some are not in very good condition, with potholes, etc. Also, be attentive to slow vehicles, animals on the road, as well as scooters and motorcycles, which are often popular means of transport on islands like Corsica.

Parking conditions vary from place to place on the island, but long-term parking is available near most beaches and in city centers. Street parking is free outside urban areas.

Figari is the perfect place to rent a vehicle and explore the island. Start your journey by visiting some of the surrounding villages, with their 12th-century Roman chapels, before heading to the beaches favored by windsurfers and kite surfers. You will find many coves and small bays around Figari.

The more glamorous town of Calvi, to the north, is a popular mooring spot for super-yachts. It is only 200 km away and boasts long sandy beaches, luxury hotels, as well as charming bars and restaurants.

Moving away from Figari, Ajaccio (120 km) and Bastia (162 km) are both within driving distance.

The UNESCO natural site of the Gulf of Porto is a protected area on the west coast of Corsica. With its impressive red cliffs plunging into the sea, crystal-clear waters, and wild Mediterranean vegetation, it is one of the most beautiful places on the island. In this protected environment, scuba diving or simply snorkeling is highly recommended.

By renting with Europcar, you can explore this spectacular coastline at your own pace.

Corsica has the largest biodiversity of all the Mediterranean islands, attracting divers, amateur ornithologists, and hikers.
