Although the specific requirements may vary slightly between rental agencies, in general, the following documents are essential and mandatory in order to collect a vehicle at Corfu Airport:

Required Documentation

• Valid Driving Licence: You must present a valid driving licence issued in your country of residence. The licence must have a minimum validity period that usually ranges between 1 and 3 years, depending on the vehicle category and the company.
• International Driving Permit (IDP): If your driving licence is not issued in the Latin alphabet (e.g. Greek, Russian, Arabic or Chinese), Greek legislation requires you to present an International Driving Permit (IDP), along with your original licence. For EU licences, it is not required.
• ID Card or Passport: A valid official identification document (ID card or Passport) is required to verify the identity of the renter.

Payment and Age Conditions

• Credit Card: It is mandatory to present a primary credit card in the name of the driver listed in the reservation. This card is used to block a deposit (security hold) that is released upon returning the vehicle without damages. Debit or prepaid cards are generally not accepted for the deposit.
• Minimum Age: The minimum age to rent is usually 21 years old. Additionally, for drivers under 25 years, most agencies apply a young driver surcharge, which must be paid at the desk.
