A Guide to Car Hire Rentals at the Trapani Airport

Renting a car is the best way to move around Sicily. There is plenty to see and aside from the major tourist attractions bustling with activity, there are many secluded and special spots to discover for first time visitors and returning vacationers who have yet to complete their sightseeing adventure of what stands as a monumental testimony to 3000 years of Mediterranean history; preserved due to its interaction with foreign cultures and invasions since the age of the Greeks, Romans, the Arabs in the Crusades and the kingdoms/principalities of the Renaissance.

A complete tour of everything there is to see and do in Sicily and its 7 islands in the Aeolian archipelago can take months if not years. In fact, many tourists find that renting a Sicilian villa or apartment (preferably with additional luxuries such as a pool and sea-front) enhances the flavor of a Sicilian vacation and a holiday on your own terms without time constraints. Excellent deals can be found online at affordable prices.

Located at the tip of the boot in Western Sicily, the Trapani Coast is admired for its impressive views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Canal of Sicily, its numerous beaches, archeological remains and natural reserves by Castellamare del Golfo, Scopello, San Vito lo Capo and the Zingaro park to name but a few. The airport of Trapani is a good place to find a good car for hire at affordable rates, thanks to the promotional offers of major sites. Rentalcargroup.com is up to 40% cheaper than most providers, with a wide selection appropriate for every budget: its best deals for 7 day rentals go from E 56.97 for a mini-MCMR Fiat panda or similar (4 seats, A/C, manual) and E 60.81 for a mini-MCMRAD with the same specifications plus 1 free additional driver, to E 65.61 for a Peugeot 1070 or similar (4 seats, A/C, Airport fee, breakdown assistance, road tax, tax, unlimited mileage, CDW, snowchain set, theft waiver and more included).

Rentalcars.com is next with a price range of E 40.19 – 60.95 X 3 days for a fiat Panda, a Smart, Ford Fiesta, Citroen or VW (4-5 seats, CDW, theft protection). The offset is that they come without A/C and that is not wise considering the hot climate of Southern Italy.
