If all else fails - you could taxi it to termini imerese and catch a train to Ragattisi Birgi [2 changes - takes between 4 and 5 hrs].  Ragattisi Birgi  is very close to the airport.  Not ideal perhaps, but it could be a short term solution whilst you sort out parking

Thanks, Alan H The problem is getting to trapani airport for say a 10am flight when the trains dont run through the night or early enough for us to make it without an overnight stay near the airport. The perfect solution would be if we could park or garage our car at or very close to the airport when we return to England and conveniently pick it up when we return, complete freedom. I say rent rather than buy a garage because if Ryanair or some other airline ie easyjet take up the Stansted to palermo route that Ryanair dropped( it was always full) we would then be looking to rent a garage or space near to Palermo airport.

Is hiring a car really much more expensive than keeping and garaging a car? We get some good deals with 'Sicily by car".

you could try using the �������� Yellow Pages     and type in 'parcheggio auto'    and        'trepani' or 'palermo'.   This should throw up a couple of options that might be worth following up.

Ok now normal service seems to be back to normal ie ryanair flying into Palermo airport, we need to find a parking space close to the airport. We are looking for a space at a private house or villa or a safe compound or garage on a long term rental basis. Somewhere that we can easily park our car that stays in Sicily and get to the airport and pick it up when we go back to Sicily. Perhaps someone has space we could rent? Any good ideas would be appreciated
