Frequently Asked Questions
Serving the capital of Sicily, Palermo Airport is the starting-point of many car rentals for holidaymakers wanting to explore Sicily’s breathtaking beauty spots. The airport is 35km (around 22 miles) from the historic and culture-rich city centre, and near to the E90 motorway (providing easy access to the rest of the island).
At Rentalcars.com, we help many of the 4.5 million passengers who use Palermo Airport each year find cheap car hire deals.
We help you compare prices from various car hire companies at Palermo Airport (including big names like Hertz, Avis and Budget, as well as local firms like Maggiore, Locauto and Sicily by Bar). A lot of the prices you see are exclusive to us, so you know you will be getting a great deal.
To give you even better value for money, many deals have extra benefits included in the price: such as an additional driver or Collision Damage Waiver with no excess.
You can see exactly what customers think of each car hire company by taking a look at the ratings and reviews next to each car listing. After all, we want you to have access to impartial, honest advice — so you can make an informed choice when deciding who to rent with.
To avoid hidden fuel charges, we recommend booking a car with a full-to-full fuel policy (you will find plenty of cars with this policy at Palermo Airport). Simply fill up the tank just before the end of the rental and you won’t have to pay any more fuel fees when you drop the car off.
You will find a wide range of cars to suit a wide range of needs at Palermo Airport. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with your family or in a large group, finding your perfect hire car has never been easier — particularly with the help of our handy filters, which let you narrow down the results based on what you’re looking for.
If you want something small and nifty, consider a mini, economy or compact car (ideal for single travellers or couples who don’t need anything too spacious), or if you need room for a few extra bags, take a look at the estate, standard and full-size vehicles (or even a roomy people carrier).
Anyone wanting to drive in style will love the selection of luxury and convertible cars — perfect if you want to treat yourself and make your trip extra special.
- Most cars are found at the airport’s car rental centre, while others are just a shuttle bus ride away. Some companies even offer in-terminal pick-up, giving you the simplest possible start to your trip.
- If you’re happy to take a shuttle bus to your car, you might be able to save money by renting with a company based off-site.
- If you don’t want a manual car, you can choose one of the automatic vehicles instead.
- It takes around 40 minutes to get the centre of Palermo, depending on traffic.
- Make sure you book a car with air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable in the heat, especially if you’re travelling in the summer months.
- If you’re unfamiliar with the area, you might want to request a Sat Nav to help you get around (or look for a deal that includes a free GPS!).
