Private Airport Transfers Across Italy — Fixed Prices, No Surprises
Italy has 47 civil airports, but most international passengers land at one of seven major hubs. Getting from any of them to your destination is straightforward with a pre-booked private transfer: your driver meets you at arrivals, helps with luggage, and takes you directly — no queues, no taxi meters running while you're stuck in traffic.
All prices on UboTransfer are fixed at booking time. You pay what you see, regardless of traffic or late arrivals. Drivers monitor your flight and adjust if it's delayed.
Italy's Major Airports — Transfer Guide
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) — Lombardy's main international hub
Located 50 km northwest of Milan city centre. Transfer time: 45–60 min depending on traffic. Two terminals (T1 for most international flights, T2 for Wizz Air and some easyJet routes). Private transfer to central Milan typically runs €65–90. Also the closest airport for Lake Como (65 km, ~60 min) and Lugano.
Milan Linate Airport (LIN) — City airport
8 km east of Milan centre. The Metro M4 line connects it to Duomo in 14 minutes (€2, opened 2023). Private transfer is 15–25 min and costs €30–45 — best choice for late nights or heavy luggage.
Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport (BGY) — Budget carrier hub
50 km northeast of Milan, 5 km from Bergamo city. Ryanair's Italian base. Transfer to Milan: 45–55 min (€65–80). Transfer to Lake Garda (Desenzano): 80–90 min. No train connection — private transfer or bus are your only options.
Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) — Leonardo da Vinci
30 km southwest of Rome centre. Transfer time: 40–55 min. The Leonardo Express train (€14, 32 min) runs to Termini, but with luggage and late arrivals a private transfer is often easier. Typical rate: €50–70 to central Rome.
Rome Ciampino Airport (CIA)
15 km southeast of Rome. Ryanair's Rome hub. Transfer: 25–40 min, €45–55 to central Rome.
Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE)

Florence Peretola Airport (FLR)
5 km northwest of Florence. Transfer to Santa Maria Novella: 15–20 min, €30–40. Small airport — easy to navigate, no long walks.
