Driving Tips for Catania

In your Catania rental car from SIXT, you can enjoy Sicily your way. To make your trip as wonderful as possible, keep the following in mind:

  • Taking pictures from the car: Avoid snapping photos of the breathtaking scenery while driving. The Autostrada and many smaller roads have safe spots where you can pull over.
  • Speed cameras: Sicily has speed cameras throughout the isle, so adhere to all posted speed limits.
  • Local drivers: Sicilian drivers can be assertive, so drive cautiously, especially at intersections, as turning without signaling is relatively common in Sicily.

Looking to explore on the mainland? With these driving tips for Italy, you can enjoy exploring this ancient part of the world in the modern comfort of your SIXT rental car.

Best places to visit in and around Catania

When you secure your car rental in Catania from SIXT, you have the freedom and flexibility to visit some amazing sites:

  • Mt. Etna: About a 50-minute drive from Catania, Mt. Etna is Europe’s highest and most active volcano. You can hike and explore on your own, or get even more adventurous with a guided, licensed tour into the volcano’s center.

Great experience with Sixt in Sicily. Friendly service at the counter and at the car pick-up, thanks to Giuseppe. The Alfa Romeo had nice design and interior, though you could tell the 16,000 miles on Sicilian roads took a bit of a toll. Only complaint was the poor signage to the rental car lot at the airport. Overall, I’d rent from Sixt again.
