In your Catania rental car from SIXT, you can enjoy Sicily your way. To make your trip as wonderful as possible, keep the following in mind:

- Taking pictures from the car: Avoid snapping photos of the breathtaking scenery while driving. The Autostrada and many smaller roads have safe spots where you can pull over.

- Speed cameras: Sicily has speed cameras throughout the isle, so adhere to all posted speed limits.

- Local drivers: Sicilian drivers can be assertive, so drive cautiously, especially at intersections, as turning without signaling is relatively common in Sicily.

- The Monastery of San Nicolò l’Arena: Explore the vast, serene gardens and absorb the awe-inspiring architecture. You can even take a guided tour in English.

Good experience. Assurance was suggested with a bit of fear mongering but in li(e with our expectations and not pushed that hard anyway.As a couple we rented a fiat 500 whicgh was perfect for our every need (smalj is better in Sicily).The return was quick and the employee (Francesco I believe) was polite and nice.Points to improve : general to six I believe, you dont see what you sign and it's pretty annoying, you must sign on a tablet yet cant read the contract beforehand, you must sign on the return yet cant be sure whether you're signing on a returning a beatup car or perfect car.

I had a terrible experience with a competing rental agency. I went to the Sixt desk and Olga immediately assisted me with a rental for my international vacation. She was kind and sympathetic and offered to upgrade my rental to something safer and more comfortable at the same rate as a compact vehicle. The process took less than 5 minutes and I was on the road to enjoy my vacation. Pick up and return were a breeze and I can safely say that Sixt saved my vacation from absolute disaster. Thank you a million times over!

Had an excellent experience from Lorena at sixt Catania Airport. She was a massive help when we were let down by another car rental firm and did everything she could to help us get a rental sorted which we have just returned with no extra charges.
