Malpensa Airport Private Taxi
Landing at this international airport puts you well outside Milan city centre, so deciding how you travel onward is worth a thought before your flight.
A pre-arranged transfer from Milan Malpensa Airport offers you a direct transportation option between the airport and your exact destination in Italy, with professional drivers and a seamless travel experience. It could be a fancy hotel in Milan, a business facility, an airport connection, or even a farther-away location in northern Italy.
As a matter of fact, this airport has two big terminals that serve European, domestic, and long-haul routes. While T2 is primarily used by easyJet, T1 handles all the other airlines and the biggest share of international traffic. But even more interesting is the fact that both terminals have their own railway stations and other transport connections.
With AtoB, your transfer from/to Malpensa Airport can be well arranged before your flight. What’s more, we monitor all flights and adjust the pickup time. Our meet-and-greet service is there to ensure a direct ride to your destination, right after baggage reclaim.
FYI: Don’t mistake this airport for Milan’s other two airports, and always check the airport’s code. MXP stands for Malpensa (the largest airport), BGY for Orio al Serio Airport, and LIN for Linate Airport.
What to Expect After Landing?
It depends on which terminal you land in and where you’re coming from. After you complete all the necessary procedures and collect your luggage, you can easily follow the signs towards the exit.
Now, if you have a pre-arranged Milan taxi from the airport, or any other route, you’ll be met by our driver with a name sign right in the arrivals area. You can then head straight to your destination without changing transport.
Good to know: T1 (main terminal) and Terminal 2 (primarily used by easyJet) are separate. The Malpensa Express railway serves both, and it’s popular among solo travellers looking for an economical transport option.
Where Can You Go from the airport?
Milan airport transfers are a common thing here, and central Milan is obviously the best-known destination. Fair to say, it’s far from the only popular option.
Since the airport is positioned north-west of the city, it’s also a reasonable arrival point for Monza, Lake Como, Varese, Lake Maggiore, as well as other destinations in Lombardy and northern Italy, especially ski resorts in the Alps.
Now, if Milan city centre is indeed your final destination, plus you’re a solo traveller with one suitcase, the train is worth your consideration. The train connects the airport with places like Milano Centrale, Milano Cadorna, and Porta Garibaldi.
A private transfer can be particularly useful if you travel with several suitcases, together with a number of passengers, or with children, especially if your destination requires extra connections from Milan. You might as well arrange a Milan transfer if you simply want a fast and secure ride to your destination in the city centre.
Travel tip: You can also pre-book airport transfers from Milan. Taxis from any destination across Italy to the airport are available, especially if you want to avoid shared shuttles and skip the queues.

When Is It Worth Booking a Private Taxi?
Even if the airport has great public transport options and a private transfer isn’t necessary for absolutely every traveller, a pre-booked taxi can still be a good choice for a number of reasons:
- Having multiple oversized bags;
- Travelling with children;
- Changing airports;
- Staying outside central Milan;
- Arriving after a long flight, especially early in the morning or late at night.
How to Plan Your Journey from the Airport?
Start with what matters most: terminal number and final stop. So, before travelling:
- Check where your flight arrives: T1 or T2.
- Keep your exact destination address ready.
- Allow extra time for baggage reclaim and all procedures, especially after long-haul flights.
- When booking a transfer, pick a vehicle with enough space for everyone and their luggage.
- Keep the driver’s contact information at hand on the day of travel (sent several hours before your scheduled transfer).
Once you pre-book your transfer, everything else is arranged for you, well before you land. You’ll easily identify the driver through a name sign and comfortably travel to your hotel or any other accommodation across Italy.
