To get the best deal hire your car for your break Sicily in advance rather than leaving it until you arrive at the airport.

Make sure you take the credit card with you that you booked your hire car with and your driving licence and that the booking is made in the name of the driver.
The archaeology and architecture on the island of Sicily is fascinating, with a mixture of Asian, African and European styles and influences. The island is home to the active volcano Mount Etna which has been erupting for over half a million years.
If you're planning a holiday in Sicily, then it is well worth hiring a car. Having a hire car available throughout your stay will give you the freedom independence to explore parts of the island off the tourist track.
Below are just some of the details we believe it is worth hiring a car in Sicily:
If you are travelling with children then hiring a car makes things a bit easier as you can stop for bathroom breaks, something to eat or to stretch legs as and when the need arises. If you have very young children, you can be sure that they will be transported in the appropriate seats (which you won't find on public transport). When you hire a car you have the freedom to enjoy some CDs or the radio.
Hiring a car can work out a lot cheaper than using other forms of transport, particularly when the cost is shared. Organised sightseeing tours and taxis can be expensive.
Exploring a new country is part of the fun and if you are touring around in a hire car you may well come across some great places that you would not have found. If you go out at night you will have to wait around in an unknown area for a taxi if you have a hire car.
Consider that any extras should be ordered in well in advance so that you can be sure they are available. When you arrive at Sicily Airport do not turn up at the rental desk and automatically expect to obtain extras that have not been pre-booked, as it is not possible for the car hire company to fulfil your request, especially during the peak months.
