Driving Tips for Palermo

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

  • Snapping pics in the car: Try to avoid taking pictures of the awe-inspiring vistas while you are driving your Palermo car rental. Most roads, both major and smaller, have places where you can safely pull over.
  • Speed cameras: Sicily is well-known for having speed cameras across the island, so be sure to adhere to all posted speed limits.
  • Roundabouts: You are sure to encounter these traffic circles in Palermo. Exercise patience and don’t assume cars will stop to let you in; wait for enough space to enter safely.
  • GPS: Consider this SIXT add-on to avoid getting lost on Palermo’s narrow, twisting streets.

With these driving tips for this Italian island, you can more easily explore in your Palermo car rental.

Sixt, Palermo Airport, Sicily: Quick and efficient to pickup car at arrival. We even got a nice upgrade. No trouble returning the car. I have multiple very bad experiences with different car rental companies (even reputable) in Southern Europe, so our experience with Sixt NOT trying to scam us was very nice for once :) Highly recommended.

I used this service for the first time and was very satisfied. I needed a car immediately after arriving, and they had one available. The request was processed quickly, and they offered several options at a fair price. Overall, it was a smooth experience, and I’ll definitely consider using them again in the future.
