Tips for hiring a car in Sicily

Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in Sicily including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 13 June 2025.
  • In Sicily, car seats are obligatory for children under four years old or shorter than 150 cm. It is recommended for parents to travel with their child's car seat since not all car hire companies offer them. However, some hire agencies in Sicily may provide car seats for an additional fee, so it's wise to inquire when making your reservation.
  • When hiring a car in Sicily, whether at the airport or in town, it's essential to pay close attention to the mileage and fuel policies. Not all hire services offer unlimited mileage, so if you plan to explore extensively, opt for a company with no mileage limits to avoid additional charges. Additionally, check the company’s fuel policy, as some companies provide a full tank and expect a full return, while others don't. In the latter case, take a photo or make a note of the initial fuel level. These precautions ensure a smooth hire experience and help you avoid unexpected costs when returning your vehicle.
  • When hiring a car in Sicily with the aim of crossing to the mainland to explore southern Italian regions such as Puglia and Campania, there are some things to consider. Most car hire companies in Sicily do not want their vehicles travelling on the ferry. If you’ll be taking your vehicle to neighbouring European countries, you’ll likely need to pay a cross-border fee that covers your taxes, insurance and any other charges.
  • Note that vehicles coming from the right on Sicily roads have priority at roundabouts and junctions unless otherwise indicated. Be extra cautious at night while driving in rural areas due to a lack of street lighting. Also, some country lanes are very narrow with sharp blind turns. Honk as you approach before turning, to alert oncoming drivers.

Venturing into charming, less touristy villages is easier by car, allowing you to experience authentic Sicilian culture. Some iconic sites, such as Mount Etna and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, are accessible but require a vehicle for convenience. While Sicily does have some public transport options, hiring a car can be superior, avoiding intermittent schedules and limited connections between cities.
