Driving on highways is no problem. It’s a little more chaotic in cities; I recommend parking outside of cities and taking a taxi to the city center (parking is also difficult in cities).

Driving in Catania with all the restricted areas is problematic. Driving in the rest of Sicily was great.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Catania

  • Have you ever dreamed of seeing a volcano? With a hire car, you could easily drive to Mount Etna from Catania and see a volcano in person. Having a car available would make visiting the Valley of the Temples and many other sites a simple day trip from Catania as well.
  • Can’t wait to start your vacation in Sicily? Well, if you are renting a car and arriving at Catania–Fontanarossa Airport, you will find the hire counters in the lobby on the ground floor of the main terminal.
  • Timid drivers should know that driving in Sicily -- and in Italy in general -- can get rather overwhelming. Drivers will frequently change lanes, swerve in front of each other, and squeeze themselves into the smallest of parking spots. However, the driving here still remains on the safe side and is by no means abnormal in comparison to big city driving. Still, drivers used to a slower pace may be intimidated at first. If you are worried, simply drive defensively and stay aware of what the cars around you are doing and you should have no problem.
  • Catania’s rush hour traffic is by no means the monster that is seen in larger cities; however, during peak hours it isn’t to be underestimated. In the morning, rush hour starts as early as 7:00 a.m. and typically lasts till 9:00 a.m., while in the evening it goes from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The main avenues to avoid during these times are Via Vincenzo Giuffrida in the downtown area and Viale Odorico Da Pordenone.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Catania for ₪88 or less
  • Book your rental car in Catania at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Catania are around 44% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Catania

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Catania?

    Compact cars and sedans are by far the best option for driving in Catania. Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks are at a severe disadvantage and as a result are quite rare to see on the road. Smaller SUVs are an option but, compared to a compact, they are still at a disadvantage when it comes to streetside parking.

  • What’s the speed limit in Catania?

    Italy as a whole sets national speed limits as opposed to state limits as is common in the United States. This standardization makes it easy for foreign visitors and locals alike, as there are few questions when it comes to what speeds are allowed in what areas. Some of the typical speed limits drivers will see are 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas and 90 km/h (56 mph) on local roads, while major highways tend to keep their speed limits at 130 km/h (80 mph) and minor highways are set to 110 km/h (68 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Catania?

    Parking in Catania is similar to most large cities in Sicily in that streetside parking in downtown areas can be a battle. There is limited parking in the central cores of most Italian cities, and Catania is no exception. However, parking garages and lots are available and they provide a great option for drivers in the city.

I was quoted a higher price in person than I was when i reserved the through a secondary service. I was then told the car wouldn’t be ready for another hour even though they had a car available for me when I received the direct quote. I was given a car with significant exterior damage. Avis accused me of contributing to the existing damage after my return of the vehicle and charged me an additional $2.7K for an originally $300 rental. Horrible customer service.

Worst car rental experience I’ve ever had. They gave away my car that I had reserved because I had to wait in their own line that took 2 HOURS. The man was rude and said it was our own fault we has to wait in line 2 hours. Then trying charging us double the online price. Budget at catania airport is the biggest scam I’ve ever experienced and I’m so happy we just said no to the car and figured it out on our own.

Check in went well and was easy. The car I was given had a number of dents and scratches. When I spoke to the agent, he assured me that all the damage was noted on the contract that was handed to me. Despite this, I took pictures and a video of the car at pick up. Unfortunately, because of an early flight, we had to use the key drop box and were not able to return the car to a live agent (so that we could confirm there was no new damage). Again, I took pictures and a video of the car just in case. A couple of hours after dropping off the car, I received an e-mail telling me there was new damage for which I would be charged. The picture they sent shows damage that is not there in my pictures or video. We decided to go with Hertz because we thought it was a reputable company. However, we were left disappointed. Now, we have to spend our time and energy disputing these additional charges.
