Locauto is the cheapest company at Reggio Calabria Airport for a Compact car, averaging $70 a day over the last 12 months from 789 prices, with a desk inside the terminal. Dollar matches that $70 a day, but Locauto does not yet have enough reviews for a score.

Every supplier operates directly at the terminal, so you do not need to take a shuttle bus.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

The main catches at Reggio Calabria Airport are payment rules that lock out debit cards and desk queues that can hold you up for more than half an hour. Of the 13 desks at the airport, 11 refuse debit cards entirely, so turning up without a credit card in the main driver's name leaves you stranded. Sicily by Car's desk averages 36 minutes at pickup, so give yourself extra time if you book with them.
