Transfers and taxis in Milan
done right.

Milan has three airports, one on each side of the city — Malpensa (49 km to the north-west), Linate (8 km to the east) and Bergamo Orio al Serio (57 km to the north-east). Which one is yours changes the price and the route completely, so each has its own page with terminals, meeting points and fixed fares. Booking ahead means the driver is in the arrivals hall before you are, your flight is tracked, and the price you agree when you book is the price at the end of the ride.

When a transfer beats the train. One passenger with hand luggage will do fine on the express. But with suitcases, or after a night flight, a private car gives you what the train cannot: door to door with no change at Centrale, 60 minutes of free waiting if your flight is late, child seats and room for the cases. With three or four passengers, or after midnight, the choice is obvious — we compare every option honestly in our guide to getting in from Malpensa.

Milan works beautifully as a base for the lakes. Como and Cernobbio are about 50 minutes away, Bellagio roughly an hour and a half: leave in the morning, be back for dinner. During Fiera weeks and on business trips across Lombardy, most guests take a car with a driver for a few hours or the whole day — it waits between meetings and frees you from timetables. The ride is carried out by a licensed local driver, and we look after the booking from first enquiry to the name sign at arrivals: the price is agreed in advance, payment is made on the spot by card or cash, with nothing to pay upfront.
