Florence airport. Taxis and transfers to Florence

The local airport is named after the famous navigator and explorer Amerigo Vespucci. It is located north-west of the city centre, in a district called Peretola. It is worth noting that Florence's city airport is quite small. It is mostly used during the summer holidays or, at other times of the year, for business trips. The airport is also popular with low-cost airlines that operate flights here. Notably, it has only one terminal, which handles all passenger flights, so it is quite hard to get lost or fail to find the exit to your car. There are several ways to get from the airport to the city centre:

• by taxi from the airport to Florence;
• by bus;
• by a pre-booked transfer to Florence.

Each option has its own features. A Florence taxi taken from the official licensed taxi rank has a fixed fare ranging from 20 to 23 euros, depending on the day of the week and the time of day. Keep in mind that you will have to pay extra for each piece of luggage. The bus is considered the cheapest way to get from the airport into Florence: a ticket costs 6 euros. However, bear in mind that when flights arrive there may be long queues at the ticket office, and you will have to wait for your bus to depart. The ideal solution is to book a transfer from Florence airport in advance. In this case, you get not only a guarantee that the car will be there at the specified time, but also a fixed fare that does not change under any circumstances, with no extra charges for waiting time if your flight is delayed. What's more, with our company you can book a vehicle with any number of seats, whereas local taxis in Florence take only 4 passengers. And finally, given that Italians do not speak English particularly well, an English-speaking driver will definitely make your trip around Florence more convenient.
