Catania Airport Private Taxi
A private transfer from Catania Fontanarossa Airport is a door-to-door journey between CTA and any address across Sicily. So, instead of figuring out transport options after landing, you can enjoy a direct ride to your destination with a pre-arranged Catania airport taxi.
Just 6 km from central Catania, the airport provides direct access to the island’s eastern and southern sides. Travellers use this airport for coastal resorts and destinations much further across the island.
With AtoB, you can easily plan a transfer in either direction – a private ride to any destination on the island, as well as back to Catania Airport. Plus, you can skip the taxi queue and avoid unfamiliar bus schedules, as well as shuttle buses.
Did you know? Catania Fontanarossa Airport, also known as Vincenzo Bellini Airport, is Sicily’s busiest airport, followed by Palermo and Trapani. In 2025 alone, it handled over 12 million passengers.
Landing at Catania Airport: What Happens Next?
Right after baggage claim, you should continue into the arrivals area, where your driver will meet you before you leave for your destination. Everything is well arranged in advance once you plan a trip with us.
Just so you know, Catania currently operates two terminals. Terminal A is the main, with arrivals on the ground floor.
FYI: Your journey details help us monitor your flight in real time and adjust pickup accordingly. All you need to do is collect your luggage, meet the driver holding a sign, and continue straight to the vehicle.

Is a Pre-Arranged Taxi from Catania Airport Worth It?
For a larger group, an early or late arrival, as well as a destination well beyond the city, a pre-booked taxi from the airport can be a much more practical option, but not necessarily for central Catania.
There’s little point in pretending the public transport won’t suit you if you’re a solo traveller with a small bag, but the calculation changes when the public bus gets you “near” your accommodation rather than “to” it. This is when direct transfers start to mean something.
What to Know Before You Book an Airport Transfer?
First, check your flight details and exact pick-up/drop-off address, as well as the number of passengers and luggage.
A few more details worth getting right:
- Use the precise accommodation address. The destination name alone may not be enough.
- Choose a suitable vehicle. Four passengers travelling light don’t have the same requirements as four passengers with four super-big suitcases.
- Consider optional add-ons. Request child seats during reservation so that it can be installed in advance, as well as any other extras you want.
- Get in touch with your driver. You’ll receive your driver’s contact details closer to your pickup date to establish the exact meeting point.
