Top tips for hiring a car in Sicily

  • Take a hire car around the stunning island of Sicily and soak up the scenery at your own speed. With the roads in Sicily mostly in good condition, a small two-wheel drive vehicle will be more than enough for you to get to where you need to. It will also be helpful for when it comes to parking on the island, especially in the towns. Should you want to explore the mountainous ranges a bit more, then you might find a 4X4 useful for the steeper roads. If you’re driving along the coastline, then you might want to choose a convertible so that you can have the fresh sea air in your hair.
  • Driving in Sicily is a great way to get around the island, but you also need to make sure that you abide by the rules of the road. You should be aware that breath tests are performed randomly and, if you have a result of more than 0.5 mg of alcohol per ml of blood, then you will be prosecuted by the local authorities. It is also important that you and everyone in the car are wearing your seat belts. Failure to do so often results in a fine. You are also not allowed to use your mobile phone when driving your car; however, a good hands-free system is acceptable.
  • When you are hiring a car in Sicily you can ensure that you reduce your carbon footprint by opting for one of the eco-friendly vehicles. For example, if you opt for a hybrid car then you will produce less carbon emissions on your journey as the car runs on both petrol and electricity. If you decide to go for a hybrid you will find it easy to locate electric charging points across the island so that you can remain fully fuelled throughout. There are also lots of petrol stations around the coastline of the island, but less so in the centre.

FAQs about hiring a car in Sicily

  • Should I hire a car in Sicily?

    You should hire a car in Sicily as it enables you to arrange the schedule of your adventure rather than relying on the timetables of other modes of transports such as buses. For example, if you are based in Palermo for your holiday and you want to visit Madonie Park, a large scenic mountain range filled with medieval villages, then you can drive there in about 1h 40min, which is much quicker than if you were waiting for a bus. It is also more feasible that getting a taxi both ways.

  • What is driving like in Sicily?

    You will find driving in Sicily different to that of what you are used to in the United Kingdom. One of the main differences is that you will be driving on the right side of the road rather than the left. You will also need to adapt to the wheel of the car being on the left side rather than the right side. When it comes to the speed limits you should be relatively familiar with how fast to drive as it doesn’t differ much from the UK. In urban areas the limit is 50km/h (31mph), in rural areas it is of 90km/h (56mph), whereas on motorways you are allowed to reach speeds of up of 120kph (75mph). Be aware of the signs that will tell you when a speed limit changes, so that you adhere to the laws.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Sicily?

    When you are hiring a car in Sicily you should check to see what the age restrictions are of each company as they are likely to vary. For example, some companies will only allow you to hire a car at the age of 21 of older, whilst others will allow drivers as young as 18. Most of the car companies will also charge a surcharge to drivers of a certain age, such as those under 25, in addition to the normal hire cost. Whilst younger drivers will also have a smaller selection of vehicles to choose from as hire companies restrict the use of the more powerful vehicles to only older customers.
