Marconi airport
Private transfer from Bologna airport
Six kilometres from the centre, a black car waiting at the arrivals exit and a price agreed before you set off. Including when you land at four in the morning.
You will not have to look for anyone
Your driver is in the arrivals hall before you come through, holding a sign with your name. No phone calls, no walking to a car park, no queue: collect your luggage, find us, and you are in the car within a minute.
Marconi has a single passenger terminal, so there is no risk of waiting in the wrong place. If you would rather meet somewhere else — the departures level is often easier when arrivals is busy — just say so when you book.
For anyone arriving from abroad: our drivers speak English and Arabic, as well as French and Spanish. It is the first thing you need when you land in a country you do not know.
If the flight is late, the waiting is already paid for
When you book we ask for your flight number. This is why: we track the aircraft, and waiting time starts from the actual landing, not from the time printed on your ticket. The first 60 minutes are included — passport control and the baggage belt.
That means a two-hour delay costs you nothing and does not lose you the car. It is the main difference from a taxi booked for a fixed time, which by then has gone.
What it costs
Fares to and from Marconi are fixed and include fuel, tolls, parking and VAT. The price is per car, not per person.
| Route | Sedan | People carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Bologna Airport (BLQ) → Bologna city | 55–65 € | 70–85 € |
| Bologna city → Bologna Airport (BLQ) | 50–60 € | 60–70 € |
| Bologna Central Station → Bologna city | 40–50 € | 45–55 € |
| Bologna Central Station → Bologna Airport (BLQ) | 50–60 € | 60–70 € |
| Bologna Airport (BLQ) → Bologna Central Station | 55–65 € | 70–85 € |
Indicative estimates per vehicle, not per person. Fuel, tolls, parking and VAT are included. The final figure is confirmed in writing before departure.
This is the point that gets missed when comparing with public transport: the people mover linking the airport to the central station is charged per passenger, and it leaves you at the station, not at your door. For two people with luggage, and one more leg still to go, the totals close in fast — and the car takes you to the exact address.
For other destinations there is the full list of routes and fares.
Departures: what time we collect you
The rule we work to, unless you tell us otherwise: be at the terminal two hours before a European flight and three before a long-haul one, and calculate the journey on the traffic at that time of day, not on an empty road.
From the centre to the airport is under twenty minutes at night and can become forty at eight on a weekday morning. Give us the flight number and we will propose the pick-up time ourselves, so you do not have to work it out.
The other airports too
Not only Marconi. We cover Milan Malpensa, Linate, Orio al Serio and Florence Peretola on the same terms: a fixed agreed fare, flight tracked, no night or holiday surcharge.
These are long journeys, so they are booked further ahead: the price is worked out on the route and confirmed to you in writing before you decide.
Questions
About airport transfers
Where do I find the driver on arrival?
In the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name, before you come through. If you prefer a different meeting point we agree it when you book.
How long do you wait if the flight is delayed?
The first 60 minutes from the actual landing are included in the fare. We track the flight from the number you give us, so you do not need to warn us.
Is the price per person or per car?
Per car. A sedan to or from the centre starts at 55 € whether there is one of you or three, and it includes fuel, tolls, parking and VAT.
Can I book for a flight landing at night?
Yes. Bookings and service run 24 hours a day, public holidays included, with no night surcharge.
How much luggage fits?
Up to three large cases in a sedan, up to seven in a people carrier. If you are travelling with skis, pushchairs or instruments, tell us and we will send the right vehicle.
