Car hire in Sicily

Renting a car hire in Sicily is by far the best way to get around and discover this amazing island. Driving along its picturesque coastline and across its rugged, mountainous interior is one of the most exhilarating travel experiences in all of Europe. There's a wealth of monuments and attractions in every town and city, most of which are linked by Sicily's excellent motorway system, the Autostrade. The island also has several sites of outstanding universal value, according to UNESCO, including Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe.

With your own transport, you can take a leisurely tour of the temples to get a taste of the ancient world, while discovering Sicily's mouth-watering heritage of Italian cuisine in small towns and villages all over the island. You can also explore the enchanting city of Palermo, famous for its bustling food markets and fascinating history, before heading out to sample the wines of the many vineyards that nestle peacefully in the Sicilian hills.

Auto Europe offers several convenient locations where you can pick up your vehicle and be on your way quickly and effortlessly, whether you're looking for a small, nimble car for sightseeing in the city or a more robust SUV for an extensive tour of the island.

Where to pick up a car hire in Sicily

Sicily has two main airports for short, medium and long haul flights: Catania and Palermo. Catania Airport, named after the local composer Vincenzo Bellini, is located just 2.6 miles (4.3 km) south-west of the city and handles over 10 million passengers a year, making it one of the busiest airports in the whole of Italy. Palermo's Falcone Borsellino Airport, 22 miles (35 km) from the city centre, has also grown to become one of the country's largest airports since it opened in 1960, currently handling around 7 million passengers a year. Comiso and Trapani-Birgi airports also handle domestic and some international traffic. In addition to airport pick-ups on the island, Auto Europe can also offer pick-up points at Palermo and Catania train stations, as well as many other conveniently located city centre offices in cities such as Syracuse, Messina, Taormina, Cefalu and Agrigento.
