Catania, Italy: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Catania are: Smart Car, Chevrolet Matiz, Kia Picanto, Citroen C1, Ford Ka, Hyundai Getz and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Italy vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in Italy are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Catania, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Catania!

Sightseeing of Catania, Italy
The national cuisine is distinguished by a huge choice of meat dishes. Tourists will find a great number of them in virtually every restaurant. Apart from rice, meat dishes are often served with such side dishes as beans, corn, and fresh vegetables. Vegetarian visitors will also not consider the menus of local restaurants modest or boring. They will surely find many delicious vegetable dishes and fruit desserts. Dishes made of seafood are also widespread there. Sea bass, tuna, swordfish, shrimp and squid remain the most popular treats in local restaurants. Shellfish may be offered as a separate dish or added to salads. Both variants are very popular here, and are very delicious.

Local restaurants will also be liked by fans of cheese. The most famous and sought-after sorts of the product produced at local plants are Caciocavallo and Pecorino siciliano. Tourists are recommended to try an interesting national dish named arancini. These are small rice balls, which can be cooked with a variety of fillings. Without a doubt, local pizza is certainly worth a try. According to the opinion of great connoisseurs of Italian cooking, there is a huge difference between the traditional Italian and local pizza.
