If your plan is to travel to a large city like Palermo and then stay in that city for your entire trip to Sicily, there is generally not much reason to have a rental car. If, instead, you plan on visiting several locations in Sicily, such as Trapani, Taormina, and Syracuse, or you plan on visiting great locations in Sicily, like the Valley of the Temples, the Cattedrale di Palermo, or the Massimo Theater, you are most certainly going to want a car of your own to make your travels easier.

Something that visitors to Sicily need to keep in mind when driving here is that driving can be somewhat difficult because drivers here often travel at higher speeds, there can be quite a few blind corners and hairpin turns, and this is a location that offers several roundabouts that can be challenging for visitors not used to using this type of intersection. Because street signs can be confusing or missing altogether, getting a GPS for your rental vehicle is always going to be a good option.

Most of the major rental car companies in Sicily will expect drivers to be at least 21 years old to rent a car. That said, drivers under the age of 25 most likely will incur additional fees for their rental, plus there can also be limits on the type of car you can rent, such as a prohibition from renting luxury vehicles. It is also quite common for rental car companies here to expect drivers to have held their license for at least one year before renting a car.
