Are you prepared to spend that much of your long-awaited holiday on it? For those who value their time and comfort, the best way to travel from Venice to Florence is a Venice–Florence transfer.

How to choose a carrier for your trip from Venice to Florence

How do you avoid overpaying intermediaries and choose a reliable company for your trip? Which company offers a Venice–Florence transfer at a price that matches the quality of its service? Should you trust taxi aggregators when booking a ride? Judge for yourself: to offer competitive prices, intermediaries have to turn to the cheapest carriers. While earning 20–30% on you, they take no responsibility for anything. In any unforeseen situation, they will tell you to contact the carrier. And a poorly paid carrier will charge extra for anything that goes beyond the agreed service, be it a delay, a stop along the way, a small change of route and so on. Some tourists who later became our clients shared their experience of booking a transfer through a well-known taxi aggregator. At the appointed time, a car of uncertain age turned up, with an Italian driver of retirement age at the wheel. Instead of taking the toll motorway, they drove along free country roads. When asked why he had chosen this route, the driver smiled apologetically and explained that he did not speak English. In the end, the transfer from Venice to Florence took them 6 hours instead of 3. They decided not to file a complaint, as they felt sorry for the driver, who was already struggling, forced to work for low rates. To avoid a situation like this, choose companies based in the country you will be travelling in. If they have English-speaking staff, it will be easy for you to clarify all the details in advance. Be sure to check whether their vehicles are licensed. And on the spot, before getting into the car, check that the windscreen bears the NCC (Noleggio con conducente) sign. If there is no such sign, the car is not licensed. Never use such vehicles under any circumstances: the first police check means a guaranteed fine for passengers of up to 3,000 euros.
