Good private car days fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Watch Etna’s winter sunset, explore a lava cave, and walk among ancient craters on a small-group tour from Catania.
“Francesco was very knowledgeable and attentive and even though the foggy weather made it hard to see the sunset he made the trip worthwhile.”
Review of Palermo Airport private transfers, with punctual drivers, airport meet-and-greet, clean vehicles, bottled water, and flexible pickup.
“I received an email while boarding my flight telling me where my driver would wait. When I arrived near the exit driver was holding a clear sign with my name. He helped us with with all of our luggage’s had a cart ready to go. Helped my kids into car and offered us water. He drove at a comfortable pace. My only regret is not using him on the way back to the airport on our outbound flight that transfer was a disaster! Book these guys instead!”
Review of the Trapani airport to Favignana transfer, including private pickup, hydrofoil ticket, timing, price, and practical booking advice.
“Due to a flight change then a delay we had a very tight window to make the last ferry to Favignana from Trapani airport. Bruno and his dad moved heaven and earth to get us there on time and safely, and were there to drive us back to Palermo when we got back to Trapani. Bruno's dad also gave us insight into the land and the sights in and around Palermo which was wonderful. Really worth booking with these guys who will look after you.”

“Francesco is an excellent driver and tour guide. His communication skills are outstanding and he was very kind to share his knowledge of Palermo and Sicily overall. Very happy with this service.”
Visit Segesta from Palermo by comfortable shared van, explore its Greek temple independently, and return in time for an afternoon in the city.

Review of a private Catania Airport transfer to Taormina, Siracusa, Noto, or Giardini Naxos, with practical advice on comfort, timing, and value.
“We just did an airport transfer to Taormina but the service was fantastic. It was a short weekend trip and we didn’t want to waste much time making public transportation connections.”
Review of the private Mercedes transfer between Catania Airport and Taormina, with WiFi, water, child seats, and hotel pickup.
“Excellent driver and car was perfect! It is very difficult to drive anywhere but our driver got us very close to hotel. He was constantly in communication with us so we could find him at the Airport.”
Review of Palermo Airport private transfer: reliable pickup, clean cars, flight monitoring, local tips, and practical value for city arrivals.

Compare this low-cost Messina to Taormina transfer for cruise day timing, Greek Theater access, bus comfort, meeting points, and value.
“Communication and location of the bus were great. It would have been better to know the amount of time allowed in Taormina beforehand, we felt very rushed and probably would have selected a different time of day.”
Travel from Palermo to Catania with private door-to-door transport, two hours at Agrigento’s temples, and a stop at Scala dei Turchi.
“Agrigento Valley of Temples was incredible...we would have like to have allowed 3 plus hours to really explore everything inch. But not everyone likes walking about like we do. They have delicious snacks on site. We had ice-cream. Car/Auto was extremely comfortable....and unexpected. Driver wonderful and didn't rush. We are early starters and picked up at 8:30am. It was a good idea and allowed us to arrive at a perfect time for Valley of Temples. We also arrived in Palermo with good timing. Would should have allowed more day to explore with a driver to other small towns. Sicily is small enough to do this type of transport very easily.…”
Review of the Palermo Airport to Favignana transfer, with private ride to Trapani and hydrofoil tickets included.
“Excellent service, we have been to Favignana in in July 2023. The experience was pleasant from the very beginning when we booked the service. The driver was on time and the van was very clean and well cared for. The driver was able to provide some interesting insight about Favignana and the surroundings.”
Review of Roberto Alabiso’s private Catania Airport to Licata transfer, with practical details on price, comfort, timing, pickup, and value.
“Roberto and I had communicated several times via emails after I booked this transportation from the Catania Airport to a small town called Licata that is not a tourist destination so not easy to get to. As promised, Roberto was waiting just outside the terminal with my name on a sign. He was friendly and professional and I enjoyed the ride to my destination in a comfortable vehicle. If you are looking for a driver in Sicily, I highly recommend Roberto.”
Review of the private Catania to Taormina transfer, with airport pickup, English-speaking drivers, optional stops, pricing, and booking advice.
“This service was EXCELLENT! Driver arrived early for a 5am Sunday pick up saving me any stress that he would find our apartment in twisty streets of Taormina. He was super professional. I am so glad I spent the money on this service to start off a difficult travel day successfully!”
Review of NonSoloTransfer’s private Palermo Airport to Castellammare del Golfo ride, with flight monitoring, door-to-door service, and fair group pricing.
“Antonino provided absolutely spectacular service from start to finish. We booked a multi-leg ground transport itinerary from PMO airport to Mondello, Mondello to Castellammare del Golfo, and finally Castellammare del Golfo back to PMO airport. Antonino’s pre-travel communication was excellent with clear pricing. His prices were exceptional. He was at the airport upon our arrival with an easily identifiable sign. He was consistently on time, even for our last leg that required a 2 am pickup. He went above and beyond during our 2nd leg when our destination was quite remote. Rather than dropping us off in what could easily be interpreted as “the middle of nowhere” with very limited…”
Review of Alex Travel’s private Punta Raisi Airport transfer to Palermo or Mondello, with punctual pickup, local tips, fair pricing, and easy cancellation.
“Alex was friendly and arranged our transfer to the airport within minutes. The driver was outside our flat 20min before we were due to leave but did not put pressure on us. We had a lovely chat on the way to the airport. Lovely experience. I would recommend.”
