Although there are several bus companies that cross Corsica, it is very difficult to travel by public transport: there is poor communication, connections are often rare or seasonal, and fares are very high. In short, we strongly advise you to travel by car.

If you arrive in Corsica without your own vehicle, it is essential to rent a car, preferably at the port or at the airport, where you will find a wider choice and offices that are always open to coincide with arrivals.

In fact, moving around by car allows you to have maximum freedom of movement and, above all, to reach the most isolated resorts and beaches. Only in this way will you be absolutely independent and not bound by timetables, fixed routes and various connections.

Car hire companies always offer recent vehicles with few kilometres and, given the small size of the island, unlimited mileage is guaranteed.

Rates clearly vary greatly depending on the season, the type of vehicle and the number of days you need to hire it.

Roads in Corsica

Due to the small size of the island, distances in Corsica are short in terms of kilometres but can prove long and tiring to drive. In fact, the roads tend to be winding, especially inland and poorly paved. Calculate that in some areas, a 100 km journey can take up to 3 or 4 hours.

In any case, we can reassure you that the most touristy areas are well maintained.

Lovers of sporty driving will appreciate the scenic circuits all curves and hairpin bends for an absolutely unforgettable on-the-road holiday! The most winding and difficult roads are some areas of western Cap Corse, in the Calvi-Galeria area and some parts of Ajaccio-Corte.

The Désert des Agriates can be travelled in complete tranquillity except on the unpaved and potholed paths leading to the beaches on the coast, such as the D81 and the 10km to the beaches of Loto and Saleccia; here care must be taken not to damage the car and the paths are only passable, depending on the season and weather conditions, by sturdy vehicles or 4x4s.
