Prices and availability for Palermo come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Palermo is a big, dense, chaotic capital, and driving inside it is a test of nerves that most visitors are happy to skip. The car is for leaving: Monreale on the hill, the beach at Mondello, Cefalù along the north coast, the temples at Segesta and Selinunte, and the long road down to Agrigento. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Palermo: common questions
Should I pick up at the airport or in the city?
The airport at Punta Raisi is west of the city on the motorway, which means you can head straight to Segesta, Trapani or the north coast without touching Palermo traffic. If you are spending your first nights in the centre, collect the car on the day you leave the city instead of paying to park it.
What is driving and parking really like in Palermo?
Busy and assertive. Traffic moves close, scooters fill every gap, and parts of the historic centre are closed to visitor traffic, so check the conditions shown per car before driving into it. Park in a guarded car park, walk or use the bus in town, and keep the car for days out. A small car is the easy choice for the narrow streets.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Palermo, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
