Airport collection and returnBirgi is the airport for the far west of Sicily, between Trapani and Marsala. These class prices are for a car collected and returned at the airport.
Automatic and manual cars are both offered, as are nine-seat vans. Not quoted means the class had no car on these dates. Seven- and nine-seaters count as vans, not Standard.
Cars booked here come from local companies. The voucher gives the meeting point and the company’s phone number.
Keep it on your phone and on paper. It tells you where the company meets you and how to reach it.
Let the company know as soon as you can. A delay does not move your booking unless the company agrees.
Note scratches and the fuel gauge with the company before you sign. Ask for photos if anything is unclear.
What Birgi has in its single terminal, how its car park and drop-off work, and what to know before you set off in your hire car.
One car park, P1, sits directly opposite the terminal and is open 24 hours.
Pay by card or cash at the machines by the Arrivals exit or at the staffed desk; the exit columns take cards only.
Not on the cars shown here. Each car still holds a deposit, and the amount is listed before you pay.
If a card will hold the deposit, bring the physical card, in the main driver’s name and with raised details. A friend’s card or a phone wallet will not do.
Only 15 to 20% of the rent is paid online; the balance goes to the company at pickup. Check the deposit again if you change the cover level.
Marsala is about 40 minutes and Erice about 30 minutes from Birgi on clear roads. Every drive below starts at the airport.
Erice ends in the hilltop town and Segesta at the archaeological park’s shuttle stop. San Vito Lo Capo is on the far north-west tip.
Renting in town instead? Cars for Trapani are handed over here at the airport.
Drive on the right and follow the posted limits. Take time to learn the car before the first roundabout.
Signs aside: 50 km/h in towns, 90 on secondary roads, 110 on main roads, 130 on motorways; in the wet, 110 and 90.
The limit is 0.5 g/l of blood alcohol. It falls to zero for anyone under 21 or with less than three years of driving.
Hand-held phones are banned while driving. Use hands-free that needs no touching, and set the route first.
Anyone under 1.5 metres tall travels in an approved child seat suited to their weight. Book seats with the car and check the fitting.
In an emergency dial 112, or 118 for an ambulance and 115 for fire. Tell the rental company about any damage at once.
The rental allows paved public roads only, so leave dirt tracks to beaches and reserves alone.
An SUV or extra cover does not change that. Road closures and local signs apply to hire cars too.
Ask the company before you take the car outside Italy. The terms do not cover ferries either way.
Ferries leave Trapani port for the Egadi islands and Pantelleria. Get the company’s agreement before you put the car on one.
Yes, some cars can end their hire at Palermo Airport. Set it as the return when you search to see which ones.
Choose Palermo Airport for drop-off and Birgi for pickup.
Some cars add a drop-off charge, others add nothing.
Palermo Airport is about 1 h 45 min east by motorway.
Fly home from Palermo Airport and you can skip the drive back to Birgi. Ask the company where to leave the car there.
A week from the 15th of each month, collected and returned at Birgi. Each bar is a typical daily price.
N/A means no cars are listed yet for that month.
Hire is charged in whole days from your pickup time. Bringing the car back late counts as another day.
Pick the car by the number of seats and bags, then add extras and drivers to the booking.
The smallest cars may seat only four. Count everyone, including children, before you choose.
Nine-seat vans suit bigger groups. Check the luggage space with all seats in use.
Add the right seat for each child in the booking and check it is fitted at pickup.
Name each driver in the booking. They must meet the car’s age and licence rules.
Small pets may travel in a carrier that stays closed for the whole trip.
Many cars here start with Basic cover, which leaves an excess. On many of them a paid upgrade takes it away.
Basic as standard. Each car shown includes Basic damage cover, with an excess and a deposit still in place.
Full removes the excess. On many cars, paying for Full takes the excess to zero and lowers the deposit.
No upgrade on some. Some cars offer only Minimum and Basic, with the same deposit either way.
Always excluded. Wheels, underside, windscreen and interior fall outside standard cover. Neglect voids it.
A car hire excess is the most you pay towards damage the cover includes, so a lower one costs more up front. Report any accident to the company and the police unless the company agrees otherwise.
Two documents: the original licence from home and an International Driving Permit, in date until you return.
Italian rental terms require both documents. A scan or photo of your licence will be refused.
Each car has its own minimum age and licence years. Check them for every driver before booking.
Leave room in your plans for the inspection before you check in.
Fuel, parking, tolls and fines during the hire are yours to pay.
Find your cancellation deadline before changing flights.
Standard cars: a week’s notice. Luxury cars and convertibles: thirty days. With the short-notice option: one day. Cancel later, or fail to turn up, and the advance is kept.
Send the voucher to support. Money due comes back within fourteen days of the request, less a 6% fee on the advance.
For other dates or another car, cancel and rebook. Ask the company in advance if you want to keep the car longer.
The cars on this page are handed over at Birgi, the airport between Trapani and Marsala. Palermo Airport is a separate airport, about 1 h 45 min east by road.
For the west coast, yes. Erice, Marsala and Segesta are all within about 40 minutes of Birgi by car.
City centres are the hard part, with controlled zones marked ZTL. Plan where to park before you drive into any old town.
Some cars can be booked for the small hours at a much higher price, but the terminal closes for part of the night. Check with the company.
Summer wildfires near woodland, winter flooding after heavy rain, and ZTL cameras in old towns.
Add your flight times, pick a car with enough seats and check the deposit and cover before you book.
