Florence Airport Transfers

Florence Airport Private Taxi

Florence Amerigo Vespucci is one of those major European airports where you can land surprisingly close to the city, but an isolated villa, hill town, Chianti estate, or luggage-heavy arrival will make up for a more convincing story if you’re thinking of booking a transfer.

A Florence Airport transfer makes perfect sense if you’re travelling beyond the city centre – say, a farmhouse outside San Gimignano or a cute corner of Tuscany.

Who wouldn’t like a door-to-door transfer from the airport’s terminal straight to a hotel or villa?

Good to know: FLR is also known as Peretola Airport and Amerigo Vespucci Airport. So, if you see all names at once, you haven’t accidentally booked three airports.

What happens after you land at Florence Airport?

Head into Arrivals and follow our meeting instructions to meet your driver. They’ll be waiting at the agreed meeting point, holding a sign with your name. Next, expect a seamless journey from the airport to your hotel or any other destination you select.

You might also want to keep your phone switched on so that you can get in touch with your driver.

FYI: Florence Airport has one terminal that handles departures and arrivals for both domestic and international flights, so navigating the airport feels easy from the moment you land.

Where can you travel from Florence Airport?

The airport is conveniently located for Florence city and the area near Florence, much of central Tuscany, and northern Chianti.

Geography plays its role here, so you can easily book an airport transfer to the Chianti region that begins surprisingly close to Florence. Next, Siena lies farther south, while Lucca and Pisa will take you west.

Heading to Val d’Orcia, Cortona or another rural part of Tuscany? Then, the airport is just the beginning.

Going towards the coast? A Florence private transfer can also take you to Cinque Terre, with La Spezia serving as a perfect starting point for exploring the area.

Need an airport connection? We can connect Florence with other airports like Bologna or Pisa, and even reach as far as Rome Fiumicino or Venice Marco Polo.

Stick around – we’ll share even more inspiring destinations from the airport as follows.

Travel tip: If you’re travelling to Lucca, Pisa or the Tuscan coast, Pisa Airport (Tuscany’s other international airport) might be a more convenient choice.

Should you book a private airport transfer?

For final destinations outside the city, a private transfer can be much more practical.

For central Florence? Not always. The airport has an unusually convenient tram, which is a very competitive alternative when you’re travelling solo with one piece of luggage and your accommodation is close to a T2 stop.

A private transfer service from Florence Airport starts making sense when:

• Your accommodation is either a villa, agriturismo or countryside hotel.
• You’re heading directly to Siena, Chianti, San Gimignano or another location outside Florence.
• You’re carrying several heavy suitcases.
• You’re staying somewhere far from the nearest railway station or public bus stop.
• You want to avoid public transport schedules, taxi queues, and extra connections.
• You’re travelling with children.
• You’re travelling with a large group and would rather keep everyone in one vehicle.
• Your flight lands or departs late at night or early in the morning.
• You’re arriving during a particularly busy holiday season.
• You need to catch a flight at Florence Airport and want a door-to-door transport option.

What to check when arranging your airport transfer?

Start with the correct flight details and exact destination address. But also:

• Enter the correct flight number and airport code: FLR.
• Enter the full address of your hotel in Florence or outside the city.
• Count passengers and suitcases before selecting your private car.
• Include child seats, oversized luggage, and other add-ons if you need them.
• Allow extra transfer time for your trip back to the airport.
• Please let us know in advance about any mobility requirements you may have.

Travel tip: Double-check the exact location of your countryside accommodation. While “near Greve in Chianti” sounds very Tuscan, it is less useful for your driver.
