How to find ECH at Catania Fontanarossa Airport
Knowing where to go can make collecting your ECH car rental easier. You could be heading to a pickup point right at the airport, meeting staff after you land, or catching a shuttle bus to the rental area. Run a car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to find out what's available at Catania Fontanarossa Airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up your car right where you touch down. Counters sit next to or inside the arrival terminal, so you go from baggage claim to getting behind the wheel fast.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office isn't inside the terminal. Instead, a free bus will take you to the nearby site where the car is collected.
Meet and greet: Shortly after landing, staff will meet you at the terminal. They'll hand over the keys and paperwork before directing you to your car.
Prefer a simpler route from arrivals to the driver's seat? Some providers offer self-service pickup, which means you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox.
ECH car rental at Catania Fontanarossa Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes the stress out of changing gears) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most car rental providers offer both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find what you prefer.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You'll collect the car with a full tank and return it full, which means you're only paying for the fuel you actually use.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' let you cover more ground without added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Age requirements: To rent a vehicle in Italy, you usually have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may rent vehicles to younger drivers for a higher rate, so always check the terms before locking in your ride.
Side of the road: Remember to stick to the right side of the road in Italy.
Speed limits: Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's 45kph in built-up areas and around 125kph on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
Required documents: You'll need a current driver's licence and extra photo ID when collecting your ECH car rental. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Deposits and credit card: Providers typically place a temporary hold on a credit card to cover the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted at pickup, so make sure you have credit available.
Insurance: Choosing excess insurance may protect you in case of theft or a collision. Policies differ, so compare your options before you book.
Add ons: From GPS units and mobile Wi-Fi to child seats, the right extras can seriously level up your ECH car rental.
