Car rental by Ferry….

If we decide to take the ferry to Palermo instead of staying overnight and flying the next morning…is there somewhere to leave our luggage when we get in from Capri until the ferry departure?

Thank you!

We'll be spending four nights car-free in Palermo in mid-September, then heading to San Vito Lo Capo for another four nights. We'd like to pick up a car in Palermo and then return it to the Palermo airport. Is this the best strategy, or is it best to make the trip to the airport for the pickup as well? Any tips on car rental companies much appreciated.

We are 2 families - one : 2 adults and 2 children (18,21) and other family: 2 adults with a six year old child who shall be going overland from Sicily to Amalfi Coast in early July 2021. We were considering driving to Messina from Raguza area, take the ferry and drive to Maratea and stop overnight. The next day we shall drive to Sorrento and stay there for a few days. This was our draft itinerary so far.:

DAY 1 :

Drive to Messina - Ferry to Villa San Giovanni, Drive to Maratea and stay Maratea

DAY 2 :

Drive and stop to visit Salerno, then Vietri sul mare, Cetara and finally Sorrento and

stay at Sorrento (accommodation for next few days)

DAY 3 :

Drive and stop to visit Positano and then Praiano and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 4 :

Drive and stop to visit Ravello and Amalfi and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 5 :

Visit Sorrento Centre and Drive to Napoli or Salerno to catch Ferry to Palermo or Messina in the evening- overnight stay on the ferry

DAY 6 :

Arrive Palermo or Messina - depending on the ferry trip and availability. Spend a day in Sicily and end of trip.

Any suggestions please re entire itinerary. Not sure whether we should stop in Maratea or somewhere close - not to have a long way driving and whether to base ourselves at Sorrento. We are also undecided whether to catch the Ferry To Palermo or to Messina?

Please advise

We're considering a trip to Naples, then over to Sorrento/Positano/Amalfi before heading to San Cipriano Picentino for a night. SCP is my ancestral home. We're thinking ferry or train from Naples to Sorrento, then bus around the AC as needed and staying in different areas for a night or two.

What's the best way to get to the village of SCP outside of Salerno? Are taxis or Uber/Lyft options?

Planning on a day trip to Lipari and Volcano islands. Staying in Taormina. Have a car and thinking of getting a ferry in Messina. Suggestions? Should I reserve tickets in advance? Issues with parking? Is there a better way to get there ? Milazzo? Thank you

Thanks for any suggestions and advice. Was wanting to hike around Cinque Terre for the day at some point but was unsure if it was worth the effort since the train takes a long time to get there. Thanks

Hi guys, I'm heading to Sardegna in 2 weeks, but can only find really bad stories about car rental services over there. Deliberate rip-offs, false claims reports and so on. Is there any car rental company that ist trustworthy and good?

Thanks so much for your help

Hello,

I am aware that ferry & boat is the only means of reaching capri and back, would you know what the best route is and what time is the latest ferry going back to the mainland? We will most likely be staying in Positano or Sorrento. We would love to have dinner in Capri but unsure if this is possible with the Ferry schedule? If there are late ferrys returning around 10pm, this would be perfect.

Appreciate any help I can get on this matter.

Thank you!

We'll be staying near Torrita di Siena this fall.

We know that Chiusi Rail Station has a rental car counter.

Is there anywhere else nearby that has rental car service?
