How to get to the Moto Corse Evasion agency in Ajaccio from anywhere in Corsica: a complete guide to local transport

You dream of riding along the winding roads of the Island of Beauty, breathing in the scent of the maquis and linking corner after corner with the sea as your backdrop. For a successful road trip, choosing the right starting point is essential. Moto Corse Evasion, the number one motorcycle rental and tour-organizing agency in Ajaccio, has established itself as the essential logistical base for motorcycle enthusiasts.

But one question comes up time and again: how do you get to our agency, located at 13 Boulevard Sampiero in Ajaccio, if you are arriving from another town on the island? Whether you are coming from Haute-Corse or Southern Corsica—Bastia, Île-Rousse, Calvi, Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio or Propriano—this detailed guide explains the best public transport options to help you start your adventure with us smoothly and stress-free.

1. Why start your motorcycle road trip in Corsica from Ajaccio?

Ajaccio is not just the Imperial City; it is the true hub of Corsica. Choosing Ajaccio as both the starting and finishing point for your motorcycle rental offers major strategic advantages:

• Outstanding accessibility: With Napoleon Bonaparte International Airport (AJA) and a commercial port located right in the city center, Ajaccio is the smoothest gateway for both national and international travelers.
• Close to the most beautiful roads: From Ajaccio, you are less than an hour away from the famous Calanques de Piana, the climb to the Vizzavona Pass, or the wild roads of the Valinco region.
• Simplified logistics: The location of Moto Corse Evasion has been designed with motorcyclists in mind. Starting from here means avoiding long, tedious transfers and diving straight into what really matters: the pleasure of riding.
• The “Fly & Ride” concept: You land, we pick you up, and 20 minutes later you are in the saddle of a BMW R1300GS or a Triumph Speed Twin, ready to conquer the island. See also our dedicated Fly & Ride article, which explains everything in detail!

2. Getting to Ajaccio by public transport: how it works

Corsica has a public transport network that, although different from mainland France, allows you to cross the island from one end to the other. Here are the two main ways to reach Ajaccio:

🚆 The Train: the legendary “Trinighellu”

The Chemins de Fer de la Corse (CFC) connect the main towns of Haute-Corse (Bastia, Corte, Calvi) with Ajaccio. This is undoubtedly the most spectacular way to reach the agency, crossing the mountainous heart of the island and the famous Eiffel bridge at Vecchio. A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the Corsican mountain scenery before exploring it from the seat of your rental motorcycle.

🚍 The Bus: intercity flexibility

For connections from the Far South (Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, Propriano) or from the west of the island, the bus is the best option. Several private companies operate daily services, more frequent during the high season (July–August) but available all year round for locals and experienced travelers.
