Milan Airport Transfers — Malpensa & Linate

Milan has two main airports: Malpensa (MXP) for international flights — 50 km from the city but the main hub for long-haul and European routes — and Linate (LIN) for domestic and short-haul flights, just 7 km from the centre. LocalsRide covers both, with professional drivers, fixed prices and meet & greet service at whichever terminal you land in.

Transfers start from €40 — fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.

Why Choose a Private Transfer in Milan?

From MXP, the Malpensa Express train reaches Milano Centrale but doesn't go to your hotel door. From LIN, public transport options are limited and unreliable at night. With LocalsRide, your price is fixed before you fly, your driver is at arrivals when you land, and you go directly to your address — no changes, no queues, no surprises.

Who is a private transfer in Milan for?

Business & fashion industry — punctual, professional service for Milan Fashion Week, Salone del Mobile and corporate venues
Leisure visitors — direct to your hotel or apartment, comfortable start to your Milan break
Families — child seats available, spacious minivans for groups with luggage
Lake visitors — direct transfers from both airports to Lake Como, Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda

Frequently asked questions

Which Milan airport should I choose for the city centre?

Linate (LIN) is much closer — just 7 km and 15–25 minutes from the centre — so transfers are shorter and cheaper. Malpensa (MXP) handles more international routes, so your flight choice will usually determine the airport.

Can I book a transfer from MXP to Lake Como?

Yes. MXP to Lake Como (Como, Bellagio, Varenna and other towns) is approximately 50 km and takes around 40–55 minutes. A fixed price is confirmed at booking — tolls included, no meter surprises.

Do you cover late-night arrivals at Malpensa?

Yes. We operate 24 hours a day. The Malpensa Express train does not run through the night — but your LocalsRide driver will be there whatever time you land.

Is there a transfer from LIN for domestic arrivals?

Yes. Linate handles domestic routes from Rome, Naples and other Italian cities. A private transfer from LIN to central Milan takes 15–25 minutes at a fixed, pre-confirmed price.
