Prices and how to save

  • Book well in advance for summer, Easter, Christmas and long weekends, especially if you are travelling with a vehicle.
  • Compare different days and times (mid-week vs. weekend, daytime vs. night departures) to find better fares.
  • If you travel with a car, van, motorbike or camper, reserve as soon as you know your dates: vehicle spaces on long routes are limited.
  • Check prices on alternative ports such as Palermo or Messina if you are flexible with departure points in Sicily.

  • Check-in: for domestic Italian ferries with vehicle, companies normally recommend arriving at least 90–120 minutes before departure; foot passengers should arrive at least 60 minutes in advance.
  • Travel documents: on routes within Italy, a valid ID card or passport is usually sufficient. Non-EU passengers should always check current entry rules for Italy and the Schengen area.
  • Vehicle papers: registration document, insurance valid in Italy and, if applicable, a valid technical inspection for cars, vans, motorbikes and campers.
  • Travelling with children: in some cases, additional authorisation may be required when minors travel with one parent or relatives. Check the latest requirements before your trip.
  • Pets: most ferries accept pets with leash or carrier and up-to-date vaccinations. Always review each company’s pet policy before booking.
