We work with many car hire companies in Catania, including international brands like Budget and national firms such as Locauto. You will find cars from various companies which come with an ‘extra’ included in the price — such as a GPS or the Collision Damage Waiver with zero excess (you will see which cars offers like this apply to once you search for a car on our site). If you want to avoid hidden fuel charges, book a car with a full-to-full fuel policy; as long as you refill the tank just before the end of the rental, you won’t have to pay any extra fuel fees.
Mount Etna: Just an hour’s drive from Catania, Mount Etna is Europe’s tallest active volcano. Park your car and take the cable car up to the volcano’s central craters — or hike up one of the various trails if you’re feeling active.
Taormina: Situated more than 200m above sea level with breathtaking views of the bays below, the historic town of Taormina can be reached in less than an hour from Catania. Some of the town’s must-see attractions include the Greek-Roman theatre, Badia Vecchia (a Gothic abbey) and the Palazzo Corvaja (a Sicilian palace dating back to the 10th century). When you’ve absorbed the history and culture, take a walk through the town’s narrow streets — and treat yourself to a bite to eat in the main square.
Syracuse: An hour south of Catania is the historic city of Syracuse, which is rich in Greek culture. The town is home to an impressive archaeological site, where the star of the show is the Greek amphitheatre (dating back to the 5th century BC). At one time, it could hold up to 15,000 spectators — making it one of the largest amphitheatres ever built.
- Catania has many one-way streets. Although they are signposted, it might be worth hiring a GPS. Alternatively, you could use your phone’s map service.
- Toll booths are common on Italian highways. You can pay by cash or card – further information can be found on the Autostrada website.
- There are plenty of car parks in Catania, many of which offer overnight parking. There are several close to the SS14.
