KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Porto-Vecchio
- Public transport around Porto-Vecchio is infrequent and not particularly comprehensive, so booking car hire in Porto-Vecchio is a great way to explore the island of Corsica. Some destinations are best reached via the inland way, while for others you can enjoy the scenic coastal route, stopping in small towns along the way. For example, Propriano is around 1h 20min inland and Aleria is roughly the same distance along the coastline. Alternatively, you can take a longer trip to L’Île-Rousse on the opposite end of the island. Without stopping, the inland drive takes roughly 2h 40min. The coastal route takes closer to 6 hours.
- The closest airport to Porto-Vecchio is Figari-Sud Corse Airport (FSC). There are a number of car hire companies available and you'll find them in the main terminal. Note that if you book with Alamo, you'll go to the Enterprise desk to pick it up and return it. The vehicles are located a short walk from the terminal. It takes around 25min to drive to Porto-Vecchio from Figari Airport. If you prefer to book with a company offering car hire in Porto-Vecchio itself, there's also a bus that takes around 50min.
- Within Porto-Vecchio, many of the streets are narrow, one-way and generally filled with pedestrians. As such, it's often recommended that travellers leave their vehicle outside the city and walk. You can take the Citadina Electric Shuttle from the major car parks into the city centre. When you are driving, you'll need to make sure that you have a warning triangle and reflective vests in your vehicle. Your Porto-Vecchio car hire company should include these.
- When driving around Corsica, you will have to deal with some difficult terrain, including hairpin turns and steep roads. Be especially wary of the blind corners when driving around Corsica. It's not uncommon for drivers to come around the corner very fast, so always be prepared. If you prefer to avoid more difficult conditions you can stick to the main roads, the Routes Territoriales (marked with a 'T'). However, the Routes Dépertementales (marked with a 'D') will often have better scenery.

Where are the best places to park in Porto-Vecchio?
Most travellers who book car hire in Porto-Vecchio park their car at one of the large car parks in and around the city before exploring on foot. If you're heading into the Old Town, bear in mind that it's at the top of a hill and most car parks are closer to the bottom.

There are also car parks at most beaches, and you'll usually pay €5 (about £4.30) to €10 (roughly £8.60) for the whole day.
