Location information for Bastia

Introduction

Bastia was found in 1380 by Genoa, which at that time was a powerful city-state. The name comes from "Bastille", the fort that was built on a hill to protect the city. Until the end of the 18th century, Bastia was the capital of Corsica. It is an atmospheric city with the classical style church San Giovanni Battiste and the old center Terra Vechhia with small, narrow and twisting streets and alleys.

Population

The city has almost 40,000 inhabitants.

Location

Bastia lies in the northeast of the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea, to the north of the city is a wide peninsula that extends to Cap Corse, the most northern point of the island. Bastia has pebble beaches, further south you can find beautiful sand beaches.

Economy

Since its construction in 1862, the harbor is of great importance for the local economy, it is not only an important fishing port but 2,5 million people per year use the ferries that arrive and depart from there. Bastia handles more passengers than Marseille or Nice. Furthermore, the harbor is important for the export of Corsican wines, although this has partly been taken over by air traffic. Bastia's old harbor now serves as a marina.

Tourism is of rather significant importance. Not only Bastia itself has great appeal, also the nature and beaches in the surrounding area attract many visitors.

Although Bastia is the economic center of Corsica, the city has high unemployment, it is estimated that 20% of the working population is unemployed.

Airports

The airport Bastia Poretta lies 20 kilometers south of the city, along the highway N193, there are aeroplane connections with cities in France, other European countries and also with Morocco.

Public transport

There are excellent bus connections to other places in Corsica, they leave from the bus terminal next to the train station.

There are train connections with Corte, Ajaccio, Calvi and Ponte Leccia.

Traffic and parking

The old city of Bastia is best discovered on foot, but your rental car is particularly suited to drive around the area. At the Citadel (the fort) there is a large underground parking garage.

Corsica does have highways but they are more like main roads. Take into account that the island is mountainous and the roads are curvy. A distance on the map may seem short, but in reality it will take more time than you think. To give you an example, when you want to drive from Bastia to Ajaccio you must calculate a minimum of 2.5 hours.

Hotels

There is a good variety of hotels to offer in Bastia, in general they are quite basic, there are no four and five-star hotels. During summer it is recommended to book your accommodation well in advance.

There are several trailer parks near the city.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
