Trapani Airport Private Taxi
Land at Trapani-Birgi Airport, and you’re well on your way to discover the westernmost side of Sicily.
With AtoB, you can benefit from a pre-arranged journey directly to your hotel/villa/port or other address and back to the airport (if you wish). There’s no need to look for onward transportation right after baggage claim.
FYI: Trapani and Marsala are both around 15 km from Birgi Airport. You can also continue towards Erice (23 km) and San Vito Lo Capo (50 km), as well as Scopello, Mazara del Vallo, and Castellammare del Golfo.
We’re not saying our service would make sense for everyone. Public buses easily connect the airport with Trapani and other western Sicilian locations. But if the bus timetable doesn’t match your schedule or you’re carrying several suitcases, a pre-booked car can make it significantly easier.
Good to know: Trapani-Birgi Airport, also known as Vincenzo Florio, is actually a military airport, also serving civilian traffic. It’s the quieter alternative to western Sicily’s main airport – Palermo (PMO).
What happens after landing at Trapani (TPS)?
Right after you land at the airport, you collect your luggage (plus passport control for non-Schengen passengers) and continue towards the arrivals hall to meet your driver.
Worth mentioning that TPS only has one compact terminal for both arrivals and departures. So, finding your personal driver won’t be hard at all, especially when you know they’ll be waiting for you with a name sign.
Useful tip: Make sure to check our follow-up message prior to the arrival date, with the exact meeting instructions and your driver’s contact details.
Where can you go from Trapani Airport?
Vincenzo Florio Airport is particularly convenient for western Sicily, starting with Trapani and Marsala (the closest) and reaching the region’s best-known coastal locations within an hour’s drive.
Trapani is the most obvious choice, especially if you’re heading to the Egadi Islands by ferry, while Marsala’s historic centre and wineries are just as close. A little bit to the north, the whole scenery changes, with popular holiday spots.

When does a pre-arranged taxi make sense?
A pre-booked car from the airport is most useful when your final stop is far away from the airport, there’s no direct public transport, you’re carrying heavy luggage, or you’re a larger group.
Or, one of these reasons:
- Early or late departure/arrival — when your flight is scheduled outside the regular public transport timetable.
- Remote accommodation — especially useful for villas and resorts well outside town centres.
- Several stops along the road — when your group is staying at different addresses.
- Bulky luggage — sports gear or other equipment may feel awkward to carry with you on buses.
- Airport-to-airport connections — direct Trapani-Palermo reservations save time and effort.
- On a family holiday — we can arrange child seats in advance, but don’t forget to include this extra service during booking.
Also, if you have specific mobility or accessibility requirements, feel free to get in touch with us, and we’ll help arrange a suitable vehicle option. Every passenger should feel comfortable.
What else to check before my transfer?
First, check your exact drop-off address and arrival time.
A few other things worth your attention:
- Double-check your flight number (we use it for real-time tracking so that we can adjust the meeting time when necessary);
- Your hotel location (leave enough time between Trapani Port and your departure if you’re heading to Levanzo, Favignana, or Marettimo);
- Seasonal traffic (roads towards popular destinations can get busier during the summer);
- Return journey (for a transfer back to the airport, plan everything backwards from your departure instead of the regular driving time, plus don’t forget about check-in and traffic).
Useful tip: If you have a ferry or other scheduled departure, allow some extra time for the transfer rather than relying on the best-case driving time.
