Frequently asked questions about car rental Bastia airport

When is the best time to book car hire at Bastia Airport?
Popular times of the year like summer and spring can make airports busier and the demand for hire cars increases. Because of this, try to book your car online or travel during off-peak times of the year. Always try to book in advance or online too to have a greater chance of securing a vehicle.
What documents do I need to bring to the car rental counter at Bastia Airport?

Hire a small car as the roads, whilst giving stunning views, are narrow and windy. Apart from the couple of major roads you'll not get further than 4th gear! Probably most time spent in 3rd.
