🛬 Group transfers from Milan's airports
Groups arriving in Milan, for example for a trade fair, a congress, an organised tour or a sports trip, first need to be clear about which airport they land at: Malpensa (MXP), Linate (LIN) or Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY). They differ a lot in distance from the city, and therefore in the time and cost of the transfer.
With AllBusItalia you send a single request: it reaches the chauffeur-driven rental companies in Milan, who reply directly with their quote. Here we focus on groups of 8 to 50 people: for individual travellers there are fixed-price services, but for groups the price depends on too many variables to be the same for everybody.
🚐 Vehicles for the transfer
Van, 8 seats — for small groups, large families and transfers where comfort and flexibility matter.
Minibus, 16-20 seats — the most requested vehicle for groups of friends, delegations and event guests.
Midibus, about 30 seats — for medium-sized groups and for those with bulky luggage.
Coach, 50 seats or more — for organised groups, schools, teams and congresses.
The more luggage you have, the more space you need: state the number of people and suitcases in the form.

ℹ️ Practical information about the airports
Malpensa is the intercontinental airport, about 50 km north-west of Milan, and has two terminals (T1 and T2): check which one your group's flight uses. Linate is the city airport, with mostly domestic and European flights. Bergamo Orio al Serio is used mainly by low-cost airlines and is about 50 km from Milan.
Milan city centre: the city has limited-traffic zones and areas where vehicle access is regulated. The company knows the rules, but state the hotel or the exact drop-off point in the form to receive an accurate quote.
Meeting point: agreed with the company in the quote. Ask where the driver will wait for you and how to recognise them, and keep their phone number at hand.
Night arrivals: state the exact time, as some companies charge a surcharge.
💶 How much does a group transfer cost?
The price of a transfer depends on five things: the route, the vehicle (a minibus costs less than a 50-seat coach, but it is not enough for every group), the time of day, the waiting time and the season.
An offer for a group of 16 can be very different from one for 7 people with three suitcases each. That is why, instead of one price list for everybody, we recommend you compare several quotes for the same trip: with a single request you receive them from different companies.
🎯 Who the service is for
Trade fairs and congresses — delegations heading to Fiera Milano Rho, MiCo or venues in town, including on the days of big events such as the Salone del Mobile.
Travel agencies and foreign groups — arrival and departure transfers for organised tours to Milan, the lakes and Lombard cities.
Teams and sports clubs — away trips arriving by air, including for matches at San Siro.
Schools and youth groups — arrivals and departures for trips and exchanges.
Companies and events — shuttles for guests and staff between the airport, hotels and the event venue.
❓ Frequently asked questions about transfers from Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo
How much does a group transfer from Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo cost?
It depends on the route, the vehicle (van, minibus or coach), the time, the luggage and the waiting time. That is why there is no single price list: with AllBusItalia you send one request and receive free quotes from companies in Milan, so you can compare offers.
Which Milan airport is best for my group to arrive at?
It depends on the flight and the destination. Linate is the closest to the centre (approx. 8 km), Malpensa is approx. 50 km away and Bergamo Orio al Serio approx. 50 km. For the transfer, distance matters most: the longer it is, the more travel time and, generally, the higher the cost. Always state the airport and arrival terminal in the form.
What happens if the flight is delayed?
Enter your flight number and arrival time in the form: companies can track the arrival and adjust the waiting time. The conditions (waiting time included, any surcharge beyond a certain delay) vary from company to company, so ask in the quote and get them confirmed in writing.
Can a coach reach the hotel in the centre of Milan?
Central Milan has limited-traffic zones and vehicle access rules. The companies know them and will tell you where the group can get off: write the hotel name or the exact address in the form and ask in the quote for the planned drop-off point.
What vehicle do I need for 7, 16 or 30 people?
Up to 8 passengers a van is enough; from 9 to 20 you need a minibus; for about 30 people a midibus; above that, a coach. If the group has a lot of luggage, it is worth going up one category or asking for a vehicle with a large luggage hold: always state the number of bags.
Do the companies hold the required licences for transfers?
Carrying passengers with a driver requires specific licences (an NCC licence for cars and vans, a coach-hire-with-driver licence). Ask the company for the details in the quote and check them before confirming.
How do I pay for the transfer?
Payment is agreed directly with the company you choose. AllBusItalia does not collect money: it connects people looking for a transfer with chauffeur-driven rental companies.
