Taxis

I wrote the other day but still looking for a good solution at one part of our itinerary.

If we are in a city/town where public transportation is limited, generally or because its a weekend, is it easy to find "taxi" service from one town to another that could be 1+ hours away? e.g. Agrigento - Gela - Ragusa? Is there an app I should use? Maybe is possible to rent a car in Agrigento and drop it off at Syracuse airport? That would be perfect.

If it all gets too complicated we'll just rent a car as we leave Trapani 10-04-2025 and drop off at Syracuse airport 6-7 days later depending on how I finalize our itinerary. I am just looking for a Plan B since bus/train schedules are limited from Agrigento that weekend. If I go on Rome2rio things look promising, but then when I shift to Trenitalia and AST or SAL to confirm....not so good. Do you know if Rome2Rio has a tendency to list weekend options that are really weekday schedules? Thanks. Getting closer

You are correct. The drop off was the Hertz office at Via Vittorio Veneto 33, Syracuse/Ortiga. I had Cantani in my head which is where we will fly home from on the 24th.

take anything Rome2Rio says with a giant mountain sized rock of salt. Some of their ideas are completely wacky. Go to the source.

I think renting a car would be best. One-way transit between towns that far will be challenging. If Hertz can rent you a car between those offices then you’ll be able to go wherever you want to without delay. Good luck!
