Behind the class letters, Corfu Airport cars are real, familiar models: a Kia Picanto for the town lanes, a Renault Clio for a family, a Renault Captur for the hills. Knowing which cars sit in each class makes the choice concrete, because the decision is really about the vehicle you will spend a week driving. This guide walks through the fleet model by model and explains what each is like on Corfu’s roads.
The models here are the actual fleet of Triple Seven (777), a family-run agency beside Corfu Airport that owns and services its cars and delivers each one to the terminal. Every class carries a small group of representative models, so the exact car may vary within a class, but the character and size are consistent.
What cars are in the economy classes at Corfu Airport?
The economy classes hold small hatchbacks and city cars: the Type B carries models like the Mazda 2 and Chevrolet Aveo, and the Type A the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo and Suzuki Ignis. From €27.62 a day, they are the cheapest and easiest cars to drive on Corfu.
The bottom of the range is where most couples and light travellers settle, and for good reason. The Type B, from €27.62 a day, brings superminis such as the Mazda 2, the Chevrolet Aveo and the Fiat Grande Punto: small, economical cars with room for two comfortably and a modest boot. They handle the coast roads and town runs with ease.
The Type A, from €29.30, gathers the city-car favourites: the Hyundai i10, the Kia Picanto, the Toyota Aygo and the Suzuki Ignis. These are nimble, frugal and simple to park in Corfu Town’s tight streets, which is exactly what island driving asks for. For a couple on beach and town days, an economy model is not a compromise but the right tool.
Which models suit families in the compact classes?
The compact classes carry roomier hatchbacks: the Type C brings the Seat Ibiza and Peugeot 208, and the Type D the Nissan Micra K14 and Renault Clio. From €30.13 a day, these add the boot space a family of four with airport luggage needs.
A family stepping up from the economy cars finds the space they need in the compact classes. The Type C, from €30.13, carries the Seat Ibiza and the Peugeot 208, well-known superminis with a little more cabin and boot than the city cars. They seat four comfortably and take a holiday’s luggage without a squeeze.
The Type D, from €32.64, brings the Nissan Micra K14 and the Renault Clio, familiar family hatchbacks with a usefully bigger boot again. For four adults with four suitcases, this is the class that fits both the people and the cases, and it remains easy to park and economical on the island’s short runs. The Type G, with the Suzuki Baleno and Citroen C3, tops the manual range for a little more space still.

What automatic models can you rent at Corfu Airport?
Three automatic classes hold the Toyota Aygo Automatic and Kia Picanto Automatic in the Type A1, the Peugeot 308 in the Type D1, and the Renault Captur in the Type N. From €34.97 a day, they cover mini, compact and small-SUV automatics for Corfu’s hill roads.
Automatic renters are no longer limited to one model. The Type A1, from €34.97, brings the automatic versions of the Toyota Aygo and Kia Picanto, small and easy city cars with two pedals, ideal for a couple who want the simplicity of an automatic at the lowest price. They park as easily as their manual siblings.
Above them, the Type D1 carries the Peugeot 308, a larger and more comfortable automatic hatchback with room for four and their luggage, while the Type N brings the Renault Captur, a small SUV with a higher driving position that suits the winding western routes. Any of the three removes the strain of Corfu’s gradients for a modest premium over the manuals.
Is there a scooter as well as cars?
Yes. A 125cc scooter, the Sym Symphony 125cc, is available from €22.60 a day for a rider and one passenger. It needs an A1 or A licence and parks anywhere, suiting the near coast rather than long cross-island runs.
Below the cars sits the two-wheeled option, the Sym Symphony 125cc, at €22.60 a day the cheapest way to move on the island. It slips through the old town’s lanes and parks where a car cannot, which makes it a favourite for a single rider or a couple exploring one stretch of coast lightly.
The scooter has two conditions. It needs an A1 or A motorcycle category on the licence, checked at handover, and its range suits the near-coast resorts rather than the western mountains or the far south. For the right trip, though, it is the most economical and nimble choice in the whole fleet.
How do the models compare on price?
Daily rates run from €27.62 for a Type B to €38.50 for the Type N Renault Captur, a spread of under €11. Weekly totals begin at €193.34, each carrying 24% tax, free delivery, unlimited mileage and assistance, so the model chosen sets a clear all-in cost.

Seeing the models and their rates together makes the choice easy.
| Class | Representative models | Gearbox | From, per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scooter 125cc | Sym Symphony 125cc | Manual | €22.60 |
| Type B | Mazda 2, Chevrolet Aveo, Fiat Grande Punto | Manual | €27.62 |
| Type A | Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Suzuki Ignis | Manual | €29.30 |
| Type C | Seat Ibiza, Peugeot 208 | Manual | €30.13 |
| Type D | Nissan Micra K14, Renault Clio | Manual | €32.64 |
| Type G | Suzuki Baleno, Citroen C3 | Manual | €33.48 |
| Type A1 / D1 Auto | Toyota Aygo Auto, Peugeot 308 | Automatic | €34.97 |
| Type N Auto | Renault Captur | Automatic | €38.50 |
Because the manual models rise in one-to-three-Euro steps, moving from a city car to a family hatchback costs little. A Type B week at €193.34, shared by four, is about €6.90 each per day, and every model in the fleet carries the same all-inclusive terms behind its daily figure.
Which model should you choose for Corfu’s roads?
Choose a Type A city car like the Kia Picanto for town and coast, a Type D hatchback like the Renault Clio for a family, and a Type N Renault Captur or another automatic for the western hills. Corfu’s narrow lanes reward a smaller, nimbler model over a large one.
The model that suits Corfu best is usually a compact one, because the island’s roads reward agility over size. A Kia Picanto or Toyota Aygo threads the old-town lanes and parks in spaces a larger car would pass by, while sipping fuel on the short runs between beaches. For most couples, one of these is the ideal island car.
Families gain from a Renault Clio or Nissan Micra for the extra boot, and drivers heading often to the west coast value the Renault Captur’s higher stance and automatic ease on the gradients above Paleokastritsa. Matching the model to the driving planned, rather than taking the biggest or cheapest by default, is what makes the week run smoothly.
Are all the models well maintained?
Yes. Because Triple Seven owns and services its fleet, each model is maintained in-house rather than rotated as a franchise unit. The specific car is checked jointly at delivery and return, and with no deposit held, that shared record keeps the handover clean on both sides.
Ownership of the fleet shapes the condition of every model. Servicing, cleaning and repairs are handled by the same agency that rents the cars out, so a Kia Picanto or a Peugeot 308 handed over at the terminal is a known, cared-for car rather than whatever a counter assigns next. The class booked is the car delivered.
The joint condition check reinforces it. Driver and representative walk the car together at delivery, note any existing marks, and repeat the check at return. Since no deposit is blocked, that shared record is what closes the rental cleanly, so choosing a model comes with the confidence that its state is agreed at both handovers.
Where can you drive whichever model you pick?
Every model carries unlimited mileage across the 64-kilometre island. Corfu Town is 3 kilometres from the terminal, the near resorts 7 to 14 kilometres, Paleokastritsa 25 kilometres west and the northern beaches 36 to 38 kilometres, all with only fuel to add.
The choice of model changes how a drive feels, not where it can go, because unlimited mileage opens the whole island to every car. A Toyota Aygo reaches Paleokastritsa as surely as a Renault Captur; the Captur simply makes the hills easier. The near coast fills easy days and the west and north make longer runs.
A three-day plan suits any model: Corfu Town and Kanoni within 4 kilometres of the terminal, the 25 kilometres west to Paleokastritsa, and the north to Kassiopi and the beaches at Acharavi and Sidari. None of that distance adds to the rate, so the model you drive is about comfort and cost, not reach.
What is a Kia Picanto or Toyota Aygo like to drive on Corfu?
Both are small, light city cars that suit Corfu perfectly: easy to place in the old-town lanes, simple to park, and economical on the short island runs. Their modest size is an advantage on the narrow roads, not a limitation, for a couple or a light-travelling pair.
The city cars in the Type A class, the Kia Picanto and Toyota Aygo among them, are the natural island runabouts. Their compact footprint means a space that a larger car would drive past is an easy park, and their light steering makes the tight turns of Corfu Town and the hill villages simple. On the coast roads they are nippy and unstressed.
Economy is the other strength. These cars sip fuel on the short hops between beaches and town that make up most island driving, so a week of touring costs little to run. For two people who do not need a large boot, a Picanto or an Aygo is not a budget compromise but genuinely the right car for the roads.
How do a Renault Clio or Nissan Micra suit a family?
The Type D hatchbacks, the Renault Clio and Nissan Micra, add the boot and cabin room a family of four needs while staying easy to drive and park. They hold four suitcases where a city car holds two, and they remain economical on Corfu’s roads.
Stepping up to the Type D brings familiar family hatchbacks that balance space and practicality. The Renault Clio and Nissan Micra seat four adults comfortably and, crucially, take four suitcases and beach gear in the boot, which is the difference that matters most for a family arriving by air with a holiday’s luggage.
Despite the extra room, these cars keep the qualities that suit the island. They are still compact enough to park in the resorts and thread the coast roads, and still economical to fuel across a week. For a family that wants one car to carry everyone and everything without bulk, the Type D is the sensible middle of the range.
What is the Renault Captur like on Corfu’s hills?
The Type N Renault Captur is a small automatic SUV with a higher driving position, well suited to the winding western routes. The raised view and easy automatic gearbox make the climbs toward Paleokastritsa relaxed where a small manual would be hard work.
The Renault Captur sits at the top of the range for good reason on an island with real hills. Its higher stance gives a commanding view of the twisting roads to the west coast, and as an automatic it removes the constant gear-changing those gradients demand. For drivers who want comfort on the longer, hillier days, it is the pick of the fleet.
It suits a particular kind of trip: a couple or family planning to range widely across the island, especially to the west and the mountain villages, who value ease and comfort over the lowest rate. At €38.50 a day it is the fleet’s dearest car, but for hill-country touring it earns the premium in relaxed driving.
Are the Corfu Airport cars modern and well kept?
The fleet is made up of mainstream, familiar models from makers such as Kia, Toyota, Peugeot, Nissan and Renault, owned and serviced in-house. Because the agency maintains its own cars, each vehicle is a known, cared-for model rather than a rotated corporate unit.
The models across the fleet are the everyday cars drivers recognise from home, which makes them easy to step into and drive with confidence. From the Kia Picanto to the Peugeot 308 and Renault Captur, they are practical, economical vehicles chosen to suit island conditions rather than to impress on a forecourt.
Ownership underpins their condition. Because Triple Seven services and cleans its own cars, the vehicle delivered to the terminal is one the agency knows and maintains, checked jointly with the driver at delivery and again at return. The class booked is the car handed over, in a condition agreed on both sides with no deposit held behind it.
Which model gives the best value for money?
The Type B, with models like the Mazda 2, at €27.62 a day offers the best value for a couple, while the Type D, such as the Renault Clio, at €32.64 is the best-value family car. Both keep the all-inclusive terms behind a low rate that suits Corfu’s roads.
Value depends on the party, but two models stand out. For a couple, the Type B is the value champion: at €27.62 a day it is the cheapest car, economical to run and easy to park, and it reaches every corner of the island on unlimited mileage. Little is gained by paying more for a couple’s needs.
For a family, the Type D is the value pick, because the small step up to €32.64 buys the boot four suitcases need without moving into a large, thirsty car. Both models carry the same all-inclusive rate, with tax, mileage, a second driver and assistance included, so the value is in matching the model to the party rather than chasing the very lowest number.
What specific cars can I rent at Corfu Airport?
The fleet includes models such as the Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i10, Mazda 2, Seat Ibiza, Peugeot 208, Nissan Micra, Renault Clio, Peugeot 308 and Renault Captur, plus a Sym Symphony 125cc scooter, graded into classes from €22.60 to €38.50 per day.
Which is the cheapest model at Corfu Airport?
The cheapest car is the Type B, with models like the Mazda 2, at €27.62 per day, including 24% tax, free delivery, unlimited mileage and road assistance. The Sym Symphony 125cc scooter is cheaper still at €22.60 for riders with an A1 or A licence.
Which model is best for a family of four?
A Type C such as the Seat Ibiza or a Type D such as the Renault Clio suits a family of four, seating everyone and holding four suitcases. A city car seats four but carries only two large cases, so the compact hatchbacks fit airport luggage better.
Do all the models have unlimited mileage?
Yes. Every model, from the smallest city car to the Renault Captur, carries unlimited mileage across the whole 64-kilometre island, so the car you choose never limits where you can drive. The only running cost tied to distance is fuel.
