Car hire at Palermo Airport
Car rental at Palermo Airport is one of the most efficient ways to organise your stay in Sicily right from the start. Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO) is the city's main air gateway and has several agencies concentrated in the arrivals area, allowing you to compare car hire at Palermo Airport according to your needs and budget.
Having your own mobility on arrival gives you the flexibility to tailor routes to suit your needs, whether your plan is city-centric or a combination of coastline, historic heritage and natural scenery.
Rent a car at Palermo Airport to get around the city
Renting a car at Palermo Airport is an efficient option thanks to the island's layout: although the city centre is relatively close, many of the most interesting attractions require you to drive several kilometres. The airport is located about 30-35 minutes from the centre by main road.
Bus and taxi services connect to various parts of the city, but these can be affected by traffic and arrival and departure times. If your itinerary includes more than one location or points of interest outside the city centre, using only public transport may complicate your mobility.
Thanks to rent a car at Palermo Airport, you can immediately access the main roads that cross Sicily and connect you to multiple destinations without intermediate stops. What's more, at Pepecar you have the possibility to adjust your choice between different rental cars at Palermo Airport, from compact city cars to SUVs or larger models.

Everything was perfect, fast and friendly. Only that they don't explain very well where the car is to pick it up but being a very small airport, asking there was no problem.

The car offer is good and so are the prices. What I didn't like is that it seems that the car pick up is inside the station and when you have already hired it they tell you that you have to pick it up outside in a nearby street.
