Book your Milan Malpensa Airport taxi transfer in minutes
The taxi fare from Milan Malpensa Airport (IATA: MXP) to Milan city center is typically around €114 with the journey taking approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic and your final destination.
As northern Italy’s largest international airport, Malpensa becomes busy during the summer season, leading to crowded trains and buses, and its long distance (50 km) from central Milan adds to delays due to motorway traffic.
Welcome Pickups provides door-to-door service and ensures a hassle-free start to your trip without any waiting. Beyond the fixed pre-paid price, you will also enjoy reliable service by an English-speaking driver, which is otherwise not guaranteed in Milan.

Everything you need to know before your Malpensa Airport transfer
- The Uber app works in Milan, but it only connects you to licensed taxi drivers. Fares are sometimes 40% higher than the standard taxi cost from Bergamo Airport to the city center. It’s best not to rely on them as your only option, as there are cheaper and more predictably priced alternatives.
- Fixed fares apply to certain routes, such as Milan city center, while other destinations use a taximeter. Confirm how your fare will be calculated before departure.
- Confirm your payment method beforehand; although many Milan taxis accept credit and debit cards, it is always advisable to carry some euros if you plan to pay in cash.
- Pre-book your airport transfer during busy travel periods. Milan Malpensa experiences high passenger volumes during holidays, fashion events, exhibitions, and business travel seasons.
- Tip only if you are happy with the service. Tipping is not expected in Italy, but many travelers choose to round up the fare for excellent service.
