Top tips for hiring a car at Bastia-Poretta Airport
- While on a mountainous Mediterranean island, organise car hire at Bastia Poretta Airport to give yourself full freedom to explore, and not be restricted by local transport systems with set schedules and routes. There is much to see and do on the island, and taking up travel time navigating a new transport system that can be used to discover a hidden gem in a quiet area can be avoided with Bastia Poretta Airport car hire bookings.
- UK citizens are not required to organise an international driving permit to drive in France, though do check with the individual companies offering car hire at Bastia Poretta Airport as some may still request it. As long as your driving license meets the requirements of the company you are able to use it to drive for short terms in France.
- When you are coming to the end of your travels and returning your car hire at Bastia Poretta Airport, the process and location to bring the car back may differ between companies. Many of the Bastia Poretta Airport car hire operations use a designated returns area at the airport, which is a car park just outside of the main airport entrance and is clearly signed on approach to the airport. Some other car hires at Bastia Poretta Airport may use a different return location, and when you collect your rental the staff will give you the full details on the process to return the car.

If you are traveling through this airport during the week, you will likely find few travellers sharing the journey, and your process to collect your car hire at Bastia Poretta may then be faster.

FAQs about hiring a car at Bastia-Poretta Airport
What documentation and requirements are needed to rent a car at this airport?
Your driver’s license must be full, valid and held for at least one year, and you will also need to meet a minimum age requirement that can differ between rental services in France, but usually begins at 18. Fees may be applied for drivers under 25, and this information will show when you are looking at booking your car hire at Bastia Poretta Airport. You will also need to provide your passport as a secondary identification to most rental offices, as well as your major credit for the fees associated with your booking and any potential deposit. It is a requirement while driving in France to have with you a copy of the current insurance for the vehicle, so if you are not using the policies offered by the rental company be sure to bring your own.
Where are the rental car desks at Bastia Poretta?
You will find the main rental desks as soon as reaching the arrivals area of Bastia Poretta Airport, they are clearly signed and easy to spot. Most are located together in the Arrivals area of the airport, though some company desks are located in a different section of the main building and still easy to find, though there are a few rental companies with offices offsite that instead offer a shuttle service to collect you from directly outside the main doors of the airport.
What type of car is a good option for Corsica?
With many narrow and winding roads, a smaller vehicle could be a good option for those not too familiar with mountainous roads and traveling in a small party. As long as the people in your group and your luggage fit comfortably, a compact vehicle may make those tricky roads a little more comfortable. If your travel group is larger, an SUV may be a good idea. There are many roads across the island with steep incline that an SUV may handle more comfortably than a standard vehicle, and some sights and beaches have a rougher road to reach that an SUV may make navigating easier.

Pros:
Up-to-date, clean cars. Mostly helpful garage staff.Cons:
Unhelpful, almost rude, staff at the reception desk. My rental consisted of 2 separate rentals, back to back. I needed to return the first car to pick up the second. I had left my luggage in the 1st car, as there was no place to leave it unattended and I kept the key for the 1st car temporarily to which the garage staff agreed. I made a mistake of voluntarily showing the key to a receptionist who effectively made me march back to the garage to return it (wasting my time). The 2nd car had a problem with audio input; functioning audio was important to me: this was a 3 week rental, and I specifically pre-recorded my favorite music on a mobile device. Even though they had other cars in the same class available, they firmly refused to let me switch a car, stressing that they are not obliged to provide audio. While that's probably correct, their better customer service attitude would go a long way in my feeling good in this rental experience, at a time when rental cars are a commodity, and rental companies can distinguish themselves in providing positive experience.Budget

Pros:
I needed a point to point rental, and this was the only one that I could implement. It was possible with a couple of competitors as I discovered later and I could have avoided the trip to the airport, but the competitor websites were terrible and seemed to not allow one-way rentals or city pickup.Cons:
Total lack of info on pickup and return. The pickup desk could make a printed map showing where the car actually is (it's not where the signs suggest). The car (Peugeot) was kind of disfunctional (failed to downshift while going up the mountain; terrible proximity detection system).3,2 Poor
Aug 2017
Pros:
Proximity of rental lot to airport (no shuttle)Cons:
Upon pickup, car was very dirty inside and outside and the tank was not filled up. I brought this to a customer service rep who was annoyed by it, would not change the car, drove my fiancé and I like a mad man through the garage to get a quick wash. He put a gallon of gas in the tank, which did not fill up the car and explained to us that the gauge didn't work right which we found out later was inaccurate when we filled the car back up. It was unbelievable.1,9 Poor
