Palermo Car Rental Guide

Essential driving FAQs for self-drive travellers exploring Palermo and Sicily

Do I need an International Driving Permit to drive in Sicily?

If your driving licence is in a non-Latin alphabet (e.g. Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic), you legally require an IDP alongside your national licence. For licences in Latin script (English, French, German, etc.), your original licence alone is sufficient. An IDP costs approximately £15 and is valid for one year—order it from your national automobile association before departure. Without one, you risk a fine of €200–400 if stopped by police.

What are Palermo's ZTL zones and how do I avoid costly fines?

Palermo's historic centre is dotted with ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) restricted zones, marked by red cameras. Entering without prior authorisation incurs fines of €100–300. Most rental cars are registered for ZTL access, but confirm this with your provider. If your accommodation is inside a ZTL, arrange a temporary access permit (€15–25) through your hotel or the municipal website before arrival.

How do I pay motorway tolls in Italy—cash, card, or Telepass?

Italian motorways (autostrade) accept cash, credit cards, and the Telepass electronic device. For a one-week Sicily tour, renting a Telepass device (€5–8/day) is worthwhile if you plan to use the A19 Palermo–Catania or A29 trunk routes frequently. Toll costs from Palermo to Catania (200 km) average €25–30. Avoid the blue Telepass lanes unless you have the device—pass through the yellow lanes and pay by card or cash at exits.

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Sicily, and will I pay a young driver surcharge?

The minimum age is typically 21, rising to 25 for larger vehicles (SUVs, people carriers). Drivers under 25 pay a young driver surcharge of €20–35 per day, and drivers aged 18–20 are generally ineligible. Drivers over 70 may face senior surcharges at some agencies. Book early if under 25—availability drops sharply during summer (June–August) when Sicilian coastal roads are busiest.

What type of fuel do I need, and is refuelling convenient in rural Sicily?

Petrol (benzina) and diesel are both widely available—ensure you know your rental car's fuel type before filling. Electric charging infrastructure remains sparse outside Palermo and Catani; don't rely on an EV for intercity drives. Nearly all hire cars operate on a full-to-full fuel policy—collect with a full tank and return the same to avoid premium refuelling charges (up to 50% more than pump prices).

What should I know about parking in Palermo before I arrive?

Street parking uses a colour-coded system: white lines (free), blue lines (paid, €1–2/hour, 08:00–20:00), and yellow lines (reserved). Theblue zona blu areas operate via the Easypark or MyCicero apps, or purchase a ticket from nearby machines. For day trips to Monreale or the cathedral, use the large Parcheggio Basile (€3/day) near the Viale Lazio—far safer than leaving a car on the street in outlying districts.
