Car rental in Catania

The modern Catania of evening nightlife and the ancient Catania of Baroque architecture weave a fairy-tale and adventurous tale that makes this city a true jewel of Sicily’s east coast. Renting a car at Catania Airport, which is only 20 minutes from the city, and touring Sicily by car will allow tourists arriving from other regions of Italy to get to know this extraordinary cultural center in depth and explore its surroundings with due care, planning one- or multi-day excursions to the area’s most interesting seaside and nature destinations: the Simeto Oasis, for example, or Mount Etna itself, to escape the heat of the city and refresh the spirit with views of unprecedented beauty. With Locauto you can take advantage of a private vehicle with which to plan, with maximum freedom, all the movements of your vacation and head, from Catania, to the interior of the region, where public services arrive with great difficulty. Available at our fleet you will find vehicles suitable for the most diverse needs, from station wagons and family minivans to cars for work: in any case you can count on vehicles of the latest generation, subject to periodic maintenance and therefore on a safe and reliable car rental. Are you uncertain how to rent a car with Locauto? Contact us by e-mail, by phone or by visiting your nearest office!

In Catania, driving in the city can be very chaotic: therefore, if your trip will lead you to spend a lot of time in the city center, we recommend that you choose a practical and manageable car by equipping it, if unfamiliar with the local road system, with a portable satellite navigator. Before entering downtown, it might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with your chosen car by doing some practice between the airport where you will pick up the car and the city. Pay attention to traffic lights, as many are equipped with cameras that can detect the speed of cars and any violations. Outside built-up areas, on the other hand, always drive with extreme caution because roadways are not always in the best condition and tackling certain depressions in the road at too high a speed could cause damage, even serious damage, to your car.

If you have a few days to also visit the surroundings of Catania by car, there are several points of interest you can include in your tour. For example, if you are interested in learning more about the Sicilian Baroque, you can travel to Noto, Modica and Ragusa; on your own, you can also organize an excursion to Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano: by car you can drive up to the Crateri Silvestri and then continue from there on foot. Etna is a constant presence and reference for the people of Catania, who can admire it distinctly every day from the streets of the city. The volcano is also the author of the so-called Riviera dei Ciclopi, a stretch of coastline north of Catania that is distinguished by the black color of its lava rocks; along the Riviera are several pretty little villages that are summer vacation destinations. Not far from Catania are also other larger and truly wonderful cities such as Taormina and Syracuse, both less than an hour’s drive away, where you can appreciate extraordinary testimonies to the ancient civilizations that have passed through Sicily over the centuries. All this would unfortunately not be possible with public transportation, which is notoriously fragmented and unreliable throughout the region.
