Nuances of hiring and using cars in Sicily

OrangeSmile provides one of the lowest rental prices on the worldwide market. You can save on your car hire in Sicily even more: (1) by renting your car purely at an airport with the pick-up/drop-off at daytime; (2) by keeping the pick-up and return at exactly the same rental location in Sicily; and (3) since rental prices in Italy are computed based on 24-hour interval, try to match this period and return your car just before your last 24-hour period expires.

Additional savings can be achieved by making your reservation few months in advance. Rental rates in Sicily increase as the rental date is approaching.

To avoid financial risks in case of an accident or a theft in Italy, we advise to order an insurance package with the full franchise coverage (Zero Excess). You can do it directly at the rental desk in Sicily, or during your booking time on our website.

Before visiting your rental office, prepare all the required papers that are specified in your voucher, plus, a printed map of Sicily. Pile the documents together to act quickly at the rental desk during pick-up.

Do not forget to examine the car conditions prior to leaving the rental parking in Sicily: wheels, windows and chassis for scratches and other defects. Check against your rental document whether all the defects are already specified.

Rental offices in Sicily are sometimes strict on delays in car return, therefore, always try to bring the car back to the rental office at the specified time.

Sicily: topics

Syracuse is famous for its beautiful landmark, Anfiteatro Romano. At the end of May as well as the beginning of June, it is presented not only as a landmark place but also as a venue for the Festival del Dramma Antico a Syracuse. Classic plays about ancient heroes such as Odyssey and Oedipus are staged here. The beginning of the third summer month is the time of music lovers. This is so because it is at this time in the city of Castelbuono that the Ypsigrock festival is held outdoors. The fest is dedicated to rock, especially indie rock. The venue of the event is Castello di Castelbuono’s ancient castle, which adds even more charm to the musical event. Among its headliners are well-known acts in the world of rock music, as well as musicians who work “to the fullest” or “si impegnano al massimo”, as they would say here on the island.

Among the religious holidays in Sicily, Easter (Pasqua) is especially respected, during which bright events with scenes from the Bible take place in different parts of the island. In Trapani for example, you can witness a parade led by a participant depicting Jesus Christ led to Golgotha, while in Ispica a plot from the procession is usually a scene of the resurrection of the son of God, and in Prizzi, Easter is celebrated in an original fashion, with participants gathering on the central streets of the city, dancing “Ballo dei diavoli” (“dance of the devils”). In any case, Easter is a favorite holiday of the locals, at which time you can get acquainted with the traditional dishes of the island, listen to musical concerts, watch theatrical shows, as well as enjoy the fireworks, which mark the end of the celebration.
