Car hire at Trapani Birgi Airport

Driving around Birgi means adhering to the local speed limits; this is a must to avoid raking up speeding fines that will need to be paid when you return your car hire. When driving in the city centre and on most roads, you'll be going 50 km/h. Do not drive faster than 90 km/h on single carriageways and 110 km/h on dual carriageways. When driving your Trapani Birgi Airport car hire on motorways, the limit is usually 130 km/h. These are general rules, but keep an eye out for speed signs.

Driving conditions in Birgi match that of most Italian cities. You'll be comfortable with a small, compact or economy car; this would be a suitable vehicle for driving in these road conditions, as the terrain does change from what is expected in most cities to narrow hilly passes in some locations. Plus, a smaller car means a smaller fuel tank. The price of fuel in Italy can be expensive, so booking a car that is lighter on fuel means a car that is lighter on the budget, leaving more money for your holiday.

For car hire from the airport, you'll need to be at least 18 years old and must not be older than 70-75; this is usually indicated by the car hire agency and does vary from company to company. Drivers under the age of 25 years old will be charged an additional fee for young drivers. All drivers must be able to produce a valid driving licence as well as an international driver's permit if they are visiting from outside of the country. Remember that car hire insurance is essential.
