Car Rental at Figari Airport (FSC)

Figari South Corsica Airport (FSC) is South Corsica's main airport, located 20 km north of Bonifacio and 25 km from Porto-Vecchio. With 13 rental companies on site, competition is good and a rental car is by far the best way to explore southern Corsica's wilderness and beaches. The airport primarily serves charter flights during the summer season from May–October.

Figari is located in the Alta Rocca region surrounded by Corsican maquis and granite mountains. Bonifacio's dramatic cliff town and harbour environment can be reached in 25 minutes' drive south via N196. Beach paradise Palombaggia outside Porto-Vecchio is 30 km north and is considered one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful beaches.

Book your rental car well in advance – the summer season is extremely popular and cars run out quickly. Choose a car with high ground clearance if you plan to drive on Corsica's narrow mountain roads. Fill up in Porto-Vecchio or Bonifacio – fuel is expensive and petrol stations are sparse inland.

How long does it take to drive from Figari Airport to Bonifacio? About 20 km south via N196, normally 25–30 minutes. Can I take a rental car from Figari to northern Corsica and drop it off in Bastia?

One-way rental is possible but often includes a surcharge – compare prices among the rental companies on site. What type of car is recommended for Corsica's roads? A compact car handles most roads, but choose an SUV or car with good ground clearance for Col de Bavella and other mountain passes.
