Travelling Corfu with a group of friends is one of the best ways to see the island, and a Corfu Airport car for rent is what holds the trip together. One car carries the group to the beaches, the tavernas and the day trips for a single shared cost, reaching the places no bus goes and letting everyone move on one plan. This guide is written for groups and friends, covering the right car, the shared cost, and how to make a self-drive group holiday work.
The figures come from Triple Seven (777), a family-run agency beside Corfu Airport that owns its fleet, delivers to the terminal and takes no deposit. For a group, that direct, deposit-free model keeps the arrival simple and the shared budget clear.
What car suits a group of friends on Corfu?
A Type C or Type D, from €30.13 a day, suits four friends with luggage, seating up to five with the boot four bags need. Larger groups take two cars, since the fleet’s biggest passenger classes still seat five, keeping each car easy to drive on the island.
For a group of four, the compact classes are the natural fit. Every passenger class seats up to five, but a mini’s boot holds only two large bags, so four friends with luggage need a Type C at €30.13 or a Type D at €32.64 for the space. These remain easy to drive and park on Corfu’s roads.
A larger group of five or six is best served by two cars rather than one oversized vehicle, since the fleet’s biggest passenger classes seat five and Corfu’s lanes suit compact cars. Two small cars split the group comfortably, share the driving across more people, and cost little more than one for the freedom they give.
How does the cost split across a group?
One car serves the whole group for a single daily rate, so the cost divides across the party. A Type D at €228.48 a week split four ways is about €8.15 per person per day, far below individual taxis or excursion seats for the same travelling.
The economics of a group rental are simple and favourable: one fixed cost divided by the number of friends. The weekly figures show how low the per-person cost falls once shared, which is the heart of why a group holiday should rent rather than rely on separate fares.
A Type D at €228.48 for a week, split across four, is about €8.15 each per day for door-to-door island transport, and a Type B at €193.34 falls to about €6.90 each. Against four friends buying individual excursion seats or splitting repeated taxi fares, one shared car is cheaper by a wide margin.

Does a group get a free second driver?
Yes. A second driver named on the agreement is included at no extra charge, so two friends can share the wheel. On the longer runs to the west coast and the north, swapping drivers keeps both fresh and lets the group share the responsibility.
The free second driver is a real benefit for a group, because a week of island driving is easier and safer shared. Two named drivers cost the same as one, so there is no reason for a single friend to drive every mile. Both are covered the moment they present a licence at the handover.
It matters most on the longer days. A friend driving the 25 kilometres to Paleokastritsa and back, or the northern loop to Sidari and Kassiopi, can hand over to another rather than tire at the wheel. Sharing the driving is one of the ways a car makes a group holiday relaxed and fair.
How much do group-sized cars cost?
From €30.13 a day for a Type C to €38.50 for a Type N automatic, all-inclusive. Split across four friends, a Type D at €228.48 a week is about €8.15 per person per day, with 24% tax, free delivery, unlimited mileage and assistance all inside the rate.
The group-sized classes are priced only a little above the smallest cars.
| Class | Seats | Gearbox | Per day, from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type C | Up to 5 | Manual | €30.13 |
| Type D | Up to 5 | Manual | €32.64 |
| Type G | Up to 5 | Manual | €33.48 |
| Type D1 Auto | Up to 5 | Automatic | €35.15 |
| Type N Auto | Up to 5 | Automatic | €38.50 |
Every figure already carries 24% tax, free delivery, unlimited mileage, the second driver and assistance, so the group cost is the whole cost. Divided across four friends, even the roomier classes work out to a small daily sum each, which is why a shared car is the value choice for a group.
How does the airport handover work for a group?
A representative meets the group in the single arrivals hall with the car ready nearby, so there is no desk queue for several people to wait through. The whole group loads up and drives off within minutes, with payment on delivery and no deposit.

The delivery model suits a group arriving together particularly well. Instead of several friends waiting through a counter queue after a flight, the group is met by name, signs the agreement on the spot, and loads a car parked close to the terminal. The handover takes minutes for the whole party.
Timing works around the flight, not a desk. The representative tracks the inbound flight, so a delayed group arrival is met at its actual time with no waiting charge inside the free window. For a group, arriving to find the car ready, rather than a queue, sets the holiday off smoothly.
Do you need a deposit for a group rental?
No. Triple Seven takes no deposit and no credit card, so no friend’s card is blocked for the group. Payment is made on delivery in cash or by card, which suits splitting the cost, and a debit card is accepted on the same terms.
The no-deposit model is convenient for a group, because there is no large card block to place on one friend’s credit card and later split or unwind. Nothing is frozen, so the person who books does not carry a held sum on behalf of the group for the whole trip.
Payment on delivery also suits sharing the cost. The agreed figure is paid at the handover in cash or by card, so the group can settle it however it likes, and a debit-card holder rents on the same terms. Nothing is charged at booking, keeping the shared budget simple from the start.
Where can a group drive on Corfu?
Everywhere on the 64-kilometre island, on unlimited mileage. From the airport, the near beaches are 7 to 14 kilometres, Corfu Town 3, Paleokastritsa 25 and the northern sands 36 to 38, all reachable with only fuel to add and the group on one plan.
A car opens the whole island to a group at no extra distance cost. The near-coast beaches fill easy days within twenty minutes of the resorts, the west coast rewards a scenic run, and the northern beaches make a full day out, with the group moving together rather than splitting across bus timetables.
A group plan might run: Corfu Town and the near coast early, the west coast and Paleokastritsa mid-week, and a northern day to Sidari, Acharavi and Kassiopi. Unlimited mileage means every drive is free, so the group ranges across the island for the cost of the car and fuel, all on one shared plan.
How do you book a car for a group?
Book online, name the party size and case count so the class fits, choose airport or resort delivery, and add the flight number. The reservation costs nothing to hold, and a confirmation returns with the rate and delivery time for the group.
Booking for a group is mostly about matching the car to the party and luggage. Naming the number of friends and cases lets the operator confirm the right class, or advise two cars for a larger group, so there is no squeeze on arrival. Choosing the delivery point and adding the flight number completes it.
Nothing is charged to reserve, so a group can book early with no cost and secure the class before peak-season stock tightens. A confirmation returns with the class, rate and delivery arrangements, and because one local agency handles it all, any change for the group is arranged directly and simply.
How do you split the driving fairly in a group?
Name two drivers on the agreement, both included free, and take turns across the week. Sharing the wheel spreads the effort, so no single friend drives every leg, and it means the group can enjoy the evenings out without one person always staying sober to drive.
Fair sharing of the driving is one of the quiet questions a group holiday raises, and the free second driver answers it. With two friends named on the agreement, the group can rotate who drives, so nobody carries the whole week alone. Both are covered at no extra cost.
The arrangement also frees the evenings. With two drivers to share the load, the group need not depend on a single sober driver every night, and can plan who drives each day in advance. Sharing the wheel fairly is part of what makes a self-drive group holiday relaxed rather than a burden on one friend.
What is the best group day trip by car?
A full day to the west coast or the north makes the best group outing. Pair Paleokastritsa’s coves 25 kilometres away with a hill-village lunch, or string Sidari, Acharavi and Kassiopi in the north together, all reachable only with the group’s own car.
The best group days are the longer drives a car makes possible and a bus cannot. The west coast is a classic: the scenic run to Paleokastritsa, a swim in the coves, and a long lunch at a hill taverna with the whole group, at the group’s own pace. It is the kind of day friends remember.
The north makes an equally good group day. With unlimited mileage, the group can string a swim at Sidari, a beach lunch at Acharavi and a harbour stroll at Kassiopi into one outing, then take the coast road back by evening. These full-day trips, shared in one car, are where a group rental earns its keep.
Should a big group take one car or two?
Two cars for a group of five or six, since the fleet’s passenger classes seat up to five and Corfu’s lanes suit compact cars. Two small cars split the group comfortably, add a second set of drivers, and handle the island’s roads better than one large vehicle.
For a larger group the practical answer is usually two cars. The passenger classes seat up to five, and Corfu’s narrow lanes and tight parking favour compact cars over one big vehicle, so two smaller cars split a group of five or six more comfortably than trying to squeeze into one.
Two cars bring extra benefits. They double the drivers available, add flexibility if friends want to do different things on a given day, and each remains easy to park and drive on the island. The cost of a second small car is modest against the freedom and comfort it gives a larger group.
How do groups avoid rental mistakes?
Name the party size and cases so the class fits, book early for the lower rate and the cars needed, and prefer a no-deposit, all-inclusive rate. Those steps avoid the squeeze, the peak-season shortage and the counter surprises a group most often meets.
Groups make a few predictable mistakes, all easy to avoid. Underestimating the luggage and booking too small a car leaves bags with nowhere to go, so naming the party and case count at booking, or opting for two cars, matches the vehicles to the group before arrival.
The other steps are timing and terms. Booking early secures both the lower rate and the number of cars a group needs before peak-season stock runs short, and choosing a no-deposit, all-inclusive rate avoids a card block on one friend and the counter add-ons a teaser rate hides. Together these keep a group rental smooth.
How do you book two cars for a big group?
Book both online in one go, naming the party split and the case count so each class fits, and add the flight numbers if arriving separately. The reservations cost nothing to hold, and the operator confirms both cars, delivered together to the terminal.
Booking two cars for a larger group is straightforward when done together. Naming the total party, how it splits, and the luggage lets the operator match two classes to the group, so the space and seats fit before arrival. Adding the flight details ensures both cars are ready at the right time.
Because nothing is charged to reserve and no deposit is taken, booking two cars early carries no cost, only the benefit of securing both before peak-season stock tightens. The same local agency delivers both to the terminal together, so a big group collects its cars in one meeting and sets off on one plan.
What is the best car for a group of friends on Corfu?
A Type C at €30.13 or a Type D at €32.64 per day suits four friends, seating up to five with room for four bags. Larger groups take two cars, since the biggest passenger classes seat five and Corfu’s lanes suit compact cars.
Is a second driver free for a group rental?
Yes. A second driver named on the agreement is included at no charge, so two friends can share the wheel. Both present a valid licence at the handover and both are then covered for the length of the rental.
What is the cheapest Corfu Airport car for rent for a group?
The cheapest is the Type B at €27.62 a day, seating up to five, all-inclusive. Split across four, that is about €6.90 per person per day, though four with luggage usually need a Type C or Type D for the boot.
Can the group’s car be delivered to our resort?
Yes. Delivery to Corfu Town and the near resorts of Kontokali, Gouvia, Kommeno, Dassia and Ipsos is free. Delivery to a hotel beyond that network starts at €20.00, confirmed at booking, so the charge is always known in advance.
