Malpensa to Linate: the transfer where the risk is not the fare.

How we handle a connection
Malpensa to Linate crosses the entire city: sixty kilometres, and between fifty-five minutes and an hour and a half depending on the hour. It is the one route on this site where the fare is genuinely the smaller number on the spreadsheet — the cost of missing the second flight dwarfs it.
So we work backwards from the departure time. We track the inbound flight, we tell you before you land whether the connection is still realistic, and if it is not we say so immediately instead of driving you to a terminal you will not need. In the marginal cases we would rather give you a difficult answer in the air than a comfortable one on the ground.
Terminal matters here too: Linate is a single compact terminal, so a drop-off takes minutes. Malpensa has two terminals four kilometres apart, so the pickup point is not a detail.
Talk to anyone who has done this journey badly and the story is never about the traffic; it is about the connection missed by fifteen minutes. So this route is planned around your second flight: we track the inbound leg, the chauffeur is inside the arrivals area with your name on a sign, and if the margin stops being realistic we tell you before you land.
Luggage belongs to the vehicle choice rather than the fare: a Business Sedan carries three passengers and three large cases comfortably, while a family with a pushchair, two child seats and a ski bag is better served by the Executive Van, which costs less than a second car. Child seats and boosters are fitted free of charge once you tell us the ages and weights, and the driver carries the bags from the boot to the terminal door at one end and from the carousel to the car at the other.
Traffic on the Tangenziale and the eastern ring road is the one variable nobody can promise away, and we do not try: sixty kilometres runs in fifty-five minutes to an hour and a half on a good day and longer when the hour is wrong. What is fixed is everything at the two ends — the car, the driver, the meeting point and the fare — so the part that can actually be controlled is not left to chance.
| Vehicle class | From |
|---|---|
| Business Sedan | €180 |
| First Class Sedan | €280 |
| Executive Van | €200 |
Meet & greet, flight tracking and the waiting included
Two things decide whether a transfer feels effortless, and neither of them is the car: the chauffeur being where you expect them, and the clock not being set against you.
Meet & greet with your name on a sign
At the airport the chauffeur waits inside the arrivals area with a sign bearing your name, and the connection is planned around your onward flight rather than around the traffic. There is no meeting point to negotiate at the kerb, and no number to call at the last minute.
The flight is tracked in real time
On a pick-up we follow the aircraft rather than the timetable. The scheduled landing is checked before the car leaves and the meeting is re-timed if the flight is early or late, so a delay at the gate does not leave you stranded and does not become a new charge. If you land at three in the morning, the welcome is the same as at ten.
The first sixty minutes of waiting are included
The first hour after landing is inside the price already agreed, whatever the queue at passport control or the baggage belt does. On a departure the waiting starts at the hour you booked, so coming down a few minutes late never turns into a supplement. Beyond that hour we charge waiting by the half-hour, and we say so before it happens rather than after.
Luggage and child seats
The driver does the loading and the unloading: cases, cabin bags, pushchairs and ski or golf bags go from your hands into the boot and come out again at the terminal or the hotel door. Child seats and booster cushions are fitted free of charge in the sizes that match the ages and weights you tell us, so the right seat is in the car at the door rather than improvised at the kerb.
How booking, payment and cancellation work
There is no account to open and no form to fill in twice: one message with the date, the time, the addresses and the flight number is enough for a fixed price back within ten minutes, at any hour.
How the booking works
The reply carries the class of car, the meeting point and the price for the whole car, with tolls, Area C and the first hour of waiting inside it. You confirm when you are ready, and nothing is charged at the moment of booking, so a change of mind costs nothing. Return legs and onward connections are agreed in the same conversation, which is how most people avoid arranging a transfer from an airport lounge.
Payment and the invoice
You pay on board at the end of the journey, by card or in cash, or you receive a VAT invoice on the company details if you are travelling for work. For companies that book this route regularly we issue a single monthly statement for the journeys made, which is usually the difference between an expense claim that passes and one that is queried.
Free cancellation up to 48 hours
Cancellation stays free up to forty-eight hours before the pick-up, and inside that window you can move the time instead of losing the booking. If the flight itself is cancelled or the date changes, the reservation moves with it and nothing is lost. During exhibition weeks and on event days the fleet is finite, so booking early costs nothing and secures the class you prefer.
Traffic, comfort and how we handle your data
Two things are settled before the car moves, and neither is left to the morning of the journey: the hour of departure and the vehicle that fits both the people and the luggage.
Traffic is checked before departure
The route along the Tangenziale and the eastern ring road is checked against real conditions before the car sets off, so the departure margin reflects the day rather than the map. A queue near the Tangenziale or a closed slip road changes the hour we leave, never the price you agreed. In winter we watch the road as well as the traffic, because Milan Malpensa in fog is a different journey from Milan Malpensa in June.
Comfort on board
On board you find a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or similar: air conditioning, a quiet cabin, leather and phone charging. The sixty kilometres of this route pass in fifty-five minutes to an hour and a half, with room to work, to sleep or simply to arrive calm, and water is already in the car. For a client you are receiving, the First Class car adds reclining rear seats and the hush that tends to end a meeting well.
Sustainability and data privacy
We keep the fleet recent and the routes efficient: cars are maintained to the manufacturer's schedule, journeys are planned to avoid empty runs where the schedule allows, and for companies we record the kilometres travelled so the transport footprint is a figure you can report rather than a guess. Your details are used only to run the journey and issue the invoice, are never sold or shared for marketing, and are deleted after the legally required period on request.

How much time should I allow between flights?
Four hours is comfortable for a Malpensa-to-Linate connection, three is workable if both flights are on time, and anything under two and a half is a gamble. We will tell you which of those you are in.
What if my inbound flight is late?
We follow the flight number, so we know before you do. If the connection becomes impossible we will contact you rather than wait for you to ask.
What is included in the fixed price on this route?
The whole journey: motorway tolls, Milan's Area C charge, luggage handling, child seats on request, flight tracking and the first sixty minutes of waiting on arrivals. Four supplements are published — twenty per cent at night between 20:00 and 08:00, twenty per cent on public holidays, twenty per cent on Sundays and twenty per cent on fair and event days — and they never stack: only one applies.
How do I pay, and can I get an invoice?
On board by card or cash at the end of the journey, or by VAT invoice on your company details if you are travelling for work; regular corporate clients can be billed monthly against a single statement. Nothing is charged when you book, and cancellation stays free up to forty-eight hours before the pick-up.
