How to get to Palermo Airport by Taxi

Taxi services are one of the reliable transportation in Palermo, Sicily. They are just anywhere in the metro providing accessible transfer services to local and foreign travelers.

Two leading companies manage the official taxis, which cover Falcone Borsellino Airport. Official airport taxis are predominantly white, with signs on the roof, including the company logo and telephone number on the side.

The vehicles are fitted with a meter, and the government fixed the taxi rates. However, it pays to know the policy in the metro because Sicilian taxi drivers are a little bit sneaky and renowned for overcharging rates.

Always negotiate the fare before taking a taxi, and ask for a receipt at the journey's end. The receipt should show the vehicle and driver's license numbers, the beginning and end destination, the taxi fare, and the date and time.

There are various types of taxis, from standard grand cars and people carriers to minibusses for up to eight people. Some can carry people with reduced mobility. Still, you would generally need to book in advance to ensure availability.

The taxi companies also operate a taxi-sharing system with a price of €8.00/person, with a minimum of four people. However, this service needs to be booked two days in advance.
