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.
