Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Florence Airport (FLR) to hotels in Florence's historic center, the Chianti hills, Siena, Lucca and Pisa.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Florence Airport, Peretola to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Florence takes you from Peretola Airport to hotels and apartments in the historic center, and out to villas in the Chianti hills, Siena, Lucca and Pisa.
Our Florence airport transfers start in the small arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits just past the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time.
You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Florence airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a hotel in the historic center, a villa in Chianti or a guesthouse in Siena or Lucca.
Our Florence airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families and groups, and wedding parties or villa stays in the Tuscan countryside.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR), also called Amerigo Vespucci Airport, is in the Peretola district on the northwest edge of Florence. It has one terminal: a main building with check-in, security and arrivals, connected to an older building with most of the gates. There are no jetbridges, so a bus takes you from the aircraft to the terminal.
From outside the Schengen Area you pass passport control before baggage reclaim; flights from Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. Baggage reclaim is small and can get busy when several flights land together. You then walk out into the arrivals hall.
Florence is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Italy is in the Schengen Area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Florence or Pisa. Many travelers to Florence fly into Pisa International Airport (PSA) instead. Check the airport code on your ticket and book the pickup at the airport you actually land at.
Limited traffic zone. Much of central Florence is a limited traffic zone (ZTL) closed to non-resident cars. Give us your full hotel address when you book so the drop-off can be planned.
Bus from the aircraft. Florence has no jetbridges, so expect a short walk or bus ride from the plane to the terminal.
