Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of AG
To book a taxi in Agrigento, call the radio taxi at 0922 511555 or use the itTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Agrigento, the easiest way to find a taxi is to go to the taxi rank in Piazza Pirro Marconi, right in front of the Agrigento Centrale railway station, or to call the city's radiotaxi service. It can be reached at 0922 511555, operating 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and can send a car to the city centre, to Valle dei Templi, or along the San Leone coast. Several taxi drivers holding individual licences also operate in the city, and their contact details can be found at the Agrigento Pro Loco office. For those arriving by air, there is no airport in the city itself: the nearest one, Palermo, is about 130 km away, so it's best to book an NCC (chauffeur service) transfer in advance or rely on scheduled buses. As an alternative to calling by phone, the itTaxi app can also be used in Agrigento, while Uber is only available in its Black variant.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Palermo "Falcone e Borsellino" (Punta Raisi) (PMO) · ~130 km from the center
Taxi fare: 10-15 euro
There is no cheap direct taxi ride available: the Palermo-Agrigento route takes over 2 hours by car. It's better to book a private/NCC transfer online with the price agreed in advance, or to use the Cuffaro or Camilleri-Argento scheduled bus services between Palermo and Agrigento. Trapani-Birgi airport, although sometimes mentioned as an alternative, is actually even further away by car (about 180 km) due to the road route, so Palermo remains the most practical option.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Agrigento's historic centre has a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) in effect on Via Atenea, with an electronic gate and hours that vary between weekdays, Friday-Saturday, and Sunday/public holidays (updated in July 2026 by the Comune); properly licensed taxis are among the categories allowed access.
Practical tips
- The main taxi rank is in Piazza Pirro Marconi, right in front of the Agrigento Centrale railway station: it's the most convenient reference point for those arriving by train or needing to reach the historic centre on Via Atenea.
- For Valle dei Templi, tell the driver which entrance you need: Porta V, in contrada Sant'Anna on Via Caduti di Marzabotto (the larger car park, near the Tempio di Giove Olimpico), or the entrance near the Tempio di Giunone on Via Panoramica dei Templi; the two entrances are several kilometres apart, so it's best not to be dropped off at the wrong one.
- From the centre of Agrigento to Valle dei Templi the ride takes only 4-5 minutes; for groups of at least 4 people, the Comune sets a per-person group fare that is cheaper than the single ride, as well as fixed fares to the main hotels: always ask the radiotaxi to confirm the price before you set off.
- The historic centre has a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) in effect on Via Atenea with hours that vary between weekdays, Friday-Saturday, and public holidays: properly authorised taxis can still enter while on service.
- For Scala dei Turchi, Realmonte, San Leone, and Porto Empedocle, always agree on the price (one way or round trip with waiting time) before getting in, as these are out-of-town routes charged by the kilometre and not covered by a fixed municipal fare.
