Vehicle

The vehicle displayed and models listed are the most common vehicles used by car rental companies. We cannot guarantee the make or model of the rental vehicle will be the same as the vehicle displayed on our website.

Fuel policy

Most common fuel policy in Palermo airport (Sicily) is 'full to full'. Your vehicle will be supplied with a full tank of fuel. To avoid incurring fuel charges you will need to return it full. You may be required to leave a fuel deposit reserved on your credit card, this will be released when you return the car full. Missing fuel will be charged on your return. The price per litre charged by the rental agent may be significantly higher than the price at the local service station.

Less attractive fuel policy is 'pre-purchase'. Your car is supplied with a full tank for which you will be charged at the rental desk. You can use as much fuel as you like and do not need to re-fill the tank before returning the car. Fuel charges are payable at the rental desk unless otherwise stated.

Very similar to the previous fuel policy is 'pre-purchase (partial refund)'. With this fuel policy, your car will be provided with a full tank of fuel. Some suppliers require you to leave a deposit at the service desk. In this case, your deposit is refunded upon return, minus the supplier’s fuel admin fee. For suppliers that do not require a deposit, the fuel cost is calculated when the car is returned. This cost is based on the amount of fuel used, and is added to the supplier’s fuel admin fee. The fuel admin fee ranges from a minimum of €25 to a maximum of €35. The admin fee is non-refundable regardless of the amount of fuel upon return. Fuel charges are payable at the rental desk unless otherwise stated.

Cross border travel

Cross border travel restrictions when renting a car in Palermo airport (Sicily) vary from company to company. Refer to the Rental Terms & Conditions (see Terms and Conditions | Country / State Cross Border Travel) of your rental vehicle, if you are planning to leave the country where the vehicle is to be picked up.

One-way rental

Your rental car may be returned in a different city or even in another country. You need to check the box 'Return to a different location' in order to get the results for such a search. One-way rentals usually cost extra and in most cases the search results already include one-way fees in the final price presented.

Children on board

Children under 3 or measuring less than 150cm must be seated in an appropriate child restraint for their size.

Refer to the Rental Terms & Conditions (see Terms and Conditions | Special Equipment / Optional Extras) of your rental vehicle for the rates of the necessary equipment.
