How do I find the best car hire deals at Catania Airport?

We compare all car rental companies (including big names like Budget, Avis and Thrifty, and local suppliers such as Locauto and Maggiore) to bring you exclusive prices on car hire.

In Sicily and mainland Italy, most car hire companies use one of two policies, either a full-to-full fuel policy or a pre-purchase policy. A full-to-full policy is one we recommend if you don’t wish to purchase fuel upfront but don’t mind finding a petrol station to refill before returning it. If the car isn’t returned with a full tank of fuel you will be charged to refill it at a premium price.

A pre-purchase policy is recommended if you don’t mind paying upfront for fuel and don’t want the hassle of finding a petrol station close to the drop off location. In Italy, refunds are often given for any fuel left in the tank at the end of the rental.

To help you decide who to rent with, we ask each customer to provide feedback on their overall rental experience — so you get impartial, useful advice. You can see their ratings and reviews once you search for a car on our site. By booking with us, you can be sure you are getting the right car, at a great price, from a company you can trust.
