At least in our Solar system, the larger the planet, the faster it rotates. Since Saturn is a lot bigger than the Earth, it should and does rotate faster.. Other answers already have the actual value.

Saturn rotates much more quickly than Earth. Saturn's day is only 10 hours, 40 minutes. It's radius at the equator is 60,268 milometers. This means that it must rotate at 35,500 kilometers per hour at the equator.
Earth rotates at 1670 kph, so Saturn is spinning over 21 times faster than Earth.

I'm pretty sure Saturn rotates faster than all the other planets.

Yes. Keep in mind, it is a HUGE planet. It has one rotation in about 11 hours. If you look at it through a telescope, it appears elongated or oval. This is because it is. That much mass spinning that quickly causes it.
