Important information about Catania car rentals

A trip to Catania would not be complete without visiting one of its famous destinations such as Valley of Temples, Elephant Fountain, Castello Ursino, Cattedrale di Sant’Agata, Museo Civico, Pallazo Biscari and Mount Etna all of which can be easily accessed by car. The city is an architectural haven with all the amazing buildings dotting the area. You will need to look out for Messina-Catania (A18), and Palermo-Catania (A19) because they link most of the parks, downtown and shopping centers. Keep in mind that some of the highways may have tolls like the A18. Parking in Catania is a breeze because there are parking lots and garages. You may be lucky and find free parking but most of the time you will pay for parking lots or garages. Renting a car is a seamless process and there are upwards of 15 car rental locations in Catania. Whether you want an electric car or luxury car in Catania, you will definitely find it in one of the many car rentals in Catania.

Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Catania?

Renting a car from Catania car rentals is definitely worth it because there is ample parking space in the parking lots and garages. Catania is an active city that has heavy traffic on roads such as A18. It is sensible to get a rental car in Catania. Driving makes it fun and easier to explore major attractions in the nearby areas such as Taormina, Syracuse, and Mount Etna which are 1-2 hours away from the city. Catania’s rush hours are morning and early evening. To dodge traffic, you need to avoid avenues like Viale Odorico Da Pordenone and Via Vincenzo Giuffrida. There are toll roads in Catania such as Messina-Palermo and Catania-Palermo freeways. The town is considerably walkable, but you still need a rental car to help you navigate the city and reach wide spread attractions like Teatro Massimo Bellini with ease. A cheap car rental in Catania is an ideal choice for saving money and time as well as the freedom to create your own itinerary.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Catania?

When booking car rentals in Catania, it’s important to keep some of the area’s unique traffic laws in mind in order to safely navigate throughout the city. For example, you should avoid driving into Zona Traffico Limitato (ZLT) zones because you will be fined for doing so. These are areas that are mostly found in old centers of Italian cities and towns and their purpose is to reduce traffic jams in high traffic areas and make them better for residents and pedestrians. Generally, it is best to check with the city’s department of motor vehicles for recent law changes.

What kind of driver’s license do you need to rent a car in Catania?

For car rentals in Catania, including an economy car rental or a passenger van rental, you are required to have a driver’s license. If your license was issued in one of the European Union countries, it will be accepted. If you are from non-EU country, with the exception of Switzerland, your license will be accepted if you have a visa in your passport and you have not been in Europe for more than six months by the time of renting the car. If you stay in Italy for more than six months, you need to get a driver’s license from an EU country. Non-EU drivers need an International Driving Permit and a driver’s license on them at all times. Also, you need to be at least 18 years old to drive in Italy and the age may differ according to car category.
