It was easy but the insurance information is not clear, and the companies try to put you in another insurance when you pick up the car because they say that the one you bought when you booked it is not valid for them and they make you pay a deposit.

J'ai loué une voiture avec Pepecar.com pour un séjour à Ténérife en décembre. J'ai payé 333,30 € for 12 days of rental, which was less expensive than all the other offers. J'ai récupéré la voiture de location via Hertz à l'aéroport de Tenerife Sud le 20 décembre 2025 et je l'ai rendue le 1er janvier 2026 avec le plein d'essence et dans le même état qu'initialement (pas d'accidents, pas d'accrochages). J'ai ensuite eu la surprise de découvrir qu'un prélèvement supplémentaire de 264,50 € avait été fait par Hertz début janvier. J'ai fait une réclamation auprès de Pepecar.com, j'ai expliqué tout ce qui s'était passé, et ils m'ont m'ont répondu "Malheureusement, n'avons pas accès au système informatique du fournisseur et, par conséquent, en l'absence de documents nous ne pouvons pas expliquer les frais supplémentaires" Il est dommage que je n'aie conservé aucun des papiers relatifs à cette location. J'avais aussi supprimé un mail dans lequel Hertz m'envoyait le contrat de location. PS (23/02/2026) Après avoir contacté Hertz et expliqué mon cas, Hertz m'a remboursé de cette charge inexpliquée. Tout finit bien !

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.

It is very easy to choose the car, everything is well explained and very fast and in 2 minutes you have the car already booked.

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.

With your car hire in Cefalù, you'll be free to arrive early and choose the best area to enjoy the surroundings.
Then, head into the historic centre and discover the majestic Cefalù Cathedral, one of the island's great Norman treasures and a World Heritage Site. A stroll through its medieval streets, full of craft shops and charming squares, is a must-do experience.
When it's time to eat, there's nothing better than sampling local specialities such as pasta alla norma or fresh fish on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. If you decide to hire a car in Cefalù, this will allow you to round off the day by taking in panoramic viewpoints or exploring less crowded nearby coves.

Tips for driving in Cefalù and surroundings
Before you get behind the wheel of your rental car in Cefalù, keep the following in mind:
- Season: in summer, traffic on the coast can be heavy. Plan your journeys early in the morning or in the evening to avoid traffic jams.
- Parking: Many streets in the city centre have restricted access. Look for designated parking areas or use nearby public car parks.
- Tolls: Sicilian motorways often have tolls. Carry cash or a card for quick payment if you're driving to Palermo or Catania.
- ZTL zones: Some areas have limited traffic zones. Check before entering the historic centre of cities such as Palermo or Monreale.
- Secondary roads: Although scenic, some routes can be narrow and winding. Drive with caution, especially if you are not used to them.
- Petrol stations: Not all are open 24/7. Check opening times on long journeys and fill up in advance.
- Signage: some signs may be in Italian or not very visible. Pay extra attention to GPS and traffic signs.
With these tips, your driving experience will be more relaxed and hassle-free.
