About Renting a Car at Lamezia Terme Airport
Lamezia Terme Airport (SUF) is Calabria's most important airport and lies approximately 4 km south of Lamezia Terme center, roughly 50 km from Catanzaro. With 31 rental companies on site, you have a wide selection of car rental options as soon as you land.

The A2 motorway provides quick access to all of Calabria. Book your rental car in advance during summer - Tropea tourism means cars sell out quickly. Choose a car with good air conditioning as summer temperatures in Calabria often exceed 35°C.

Are there rental desks directly in the terminal at SUF? Yes, most of the 31 rental companies have desks in the arrivals hall or offer shuttle service to a nearby depot. Can I drive the rental car to Sicily from Lamezia Terme?
It depends on the rental company - many do not allow ferry transport to Sicily, so check the terms at booking.
