Palermo car hire with SIXT

Our Palermo car hire options give you the freedom of driving around and visiting tourist attractions in the surrounding areas of Sicily at will. You can pick up your choice of vehicle from one of our branches either at the airport or in the city centre, with friendly English-speaking service agents to assist you. You can book a compact city hatchback to access the narrow old streets more easily or a large minibus for day trips. There’s also pretty much anything in-between, depending on the size of your party. All our vehicles come from Europe’s top brands, offering you affordable luxury by supplying first-class cars at economy prices.

What to do while in Palermo

The capital of Sicily offers plenty of sightseeing opportunities that you can take advantage of when you rent a car in Palermo. To get a sense of the city’s mixed cultural heritage, visit Palermo Cattedrale, where Norman, Gothic and Arabic architecture come together. For the beautiful ceiling mosaics that characterise the city, drive to the churches of Cappella Palatina and La Martorana. Foodies can drive to Piana degli Albanesi Village, 40 minutes away, to sample authentic Sicilian cannolis.

Winter 2024 in Palermo

One of the most fascinating indoor winter activities in Palermo is Capuchin Abbey, with its macabre catacombs full of mummies. Theatre buffs can visit Teatro Massimo, once one of the premier opera houses in Italy. And since you’ll have a hire car, you can drive the 10-mile route to the town of Monreale, which is dramatically situated on the slopes of the Monte Caputo volcano.
