More info about the airport

Catania Fontanarossa Airport is the beating heart of air travel in eastern Sicily. Just 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from downtown Catania, it’s a quick 15 to 20-minute drive—traffic willing—and you’re right in the thick of the city. The airport runs on two terminals. Terminal A is the workhorse, handling both domestic and international routes, while the smaller Terminal C caters strictly to Schengen-area flights. Between them, there are 26 gates—22 in A, and 4 in C—keeping travelers moving smoothly.

Inside, it’s got all the essentials: free Wi-Fi, relaxed lounges, spots to grab a bite, and shops to browse while you wait. Over 10 million passengers pass through its gates every year, making it one of Italy’s busiest airports. Big by any measure, this airport isn’t just large—it’s a key link for Sicily, connecting the island to the rest of Europe with ease. You can find more information on the airport’s official website: Catania Fontanarossa Airport

Location of car rental desks

At Catania Fontanarossa Airport, picking up a rental car is pretty straightforward. Once you step out of the arrivals area, just head toward the white building about 100 meters in front of the terminal—that’s where most of the rental desks are tucked away. It’s close enough to keep things hassle-free, especially after a long flight. A few companies even offer meet-and-greet services, so in some cases, someone might be waiting for you right outside. If you want the full picture of which provider suits you best, it’s worth checking out a few trusted travel sites before you go.

Tips for car rental

Book early to get the best deal. Prices in Italy don’t stay still, especially during the busy season. Locking in your rental early not only saves money, it also means more options—and less stress when you land in Catania.

Watch out for hidden costs. Sneaky extras like young driver fees or airport surcharges can add up fast. Don’t get caught off guard—read the fine print, ask questions, and know exactly what you’re paying for before you commit.

Inspect the car before driving off. Give the car a once-over and snap a few photos of any scratches or marks. It’s quick, easy, and might save you a headache when it’s time to hand back the keys.

Know Italy’s driving rules. Italian roads can be charming—and chaotic. Brush up on local laws, speed limits, and road signs. In Sicily, narrow streets and bold drivers are part of the deal, so it pays to be prepared.

Choose a car that fits your trip. Planning to cruise through tiny hill towns? Go small. Covering long distances? Think comfort and fuel economy. Pick a car that suits your style and your route—you’ll thank yourself later.
