First off, renting a car during your stay in Cefalù is not necessary. Cefalù is a small town that is easily walkable from most resorts - we walked from Calette into town a few times and it took around 30 minutes, tops. Plus, parking in Old Town is a nightmare...no parking lots in Sicily!

Taxis are also available from designated taxi stands (one at the train station, one in town, one at the beach) and can be ordered from your hotel. Uber is also newly available in Sicily, however we found this to be 2x the price of taxis.

However, for those of you who are interested in exploring the beauty of Sicily beyond Cefalù, we recommend renting a car during your stay on the island. Most, if not all, of the hotels we recommend have parking lots available for guests.

There are a few required documents for renting a car in Sicily (your US driver's license, an International Driving Permit, passport). Be familiar with the requirements before renting a vehicle.

There are several rental car options available right at the Palermo Airport. You can book your rental car service in advance, via a website like DiscoverCars.com or AutoEuro.com.

Important: Make sure you indicate if you need an automatic transmission!
