Milan Private Car Service — Local, Licensed, Owner-Operated Since 1993
Milan is the natural starting point for exploring some of the most celebrated destinations in Italy and Switzerland.

Every vehicle in our fleet is owned by us. Every driver is employed directly by us. When you contact MilanobyCar by WhatsApp, you are speaking to the people who will collect you — not a call centre, not an algorithm. No subcontractors, no platform intermediary, no quality variance between bookings. This is what owner-operated means in practice.

What Clients Say About Our Milan Private Car Service
Real TripAdvisor reviews from travellers who used MilanobyCar for airport transfers, lake day trips and long-distance private car journeys from Milan.
"We have been using this company for 15 years: pick-ups from Malpensa, round trips from Milan to Florence, Venice, Corvara, Courchevel, Megève. Always on time and the driving was very safe. Never once did we feel unsafe, even on mountain roads during a snowstorm. Adrian and his drivers are very experienced and top-notch. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"Adrian took our family up to Lake Como from Milan for a full day trip. He was warm, welcoming, and always on time. He knew every area, stopped at the best panoramic viewpoints, and suggested the whole itinerary. We also used MilanobyCar for our Malpensa transfers at the start and end of the trip. Impeccable both times."
"I got to know MilanobyCar through searching for car services with chauffeur for a family trip to Milan. Adrian was very responsive and professional, provided reasonable options and advice that suited our needs and made our trip more fun with reasonable costs. He was flexible, on time, and nice to everyone. I recommend MilanobyCar to everyone."

Can I book a private car from Milan to Lake Garda?
Yes. MilanobyCar operates private car transfers from Milan to all Lake Garda destinations. Sirmione and Desenzano del Garda are approximately 1 hour 10 minutes from Milan, from EUR 180 per vehicle. Garda, Bardolino and Lazise on the east shore are approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, from EUR 220. The V-Class accommodates up to 6 passengers at the same fixed price, making it excellent value for families and groups visiting Lake Garda from Milan.
How do I get from Milan to Portofino or Santa Margherita Ligure by private car?
The private car journey from Milan to Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure takes approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. MilanobyCar covers both destinations from EUR 450 per vehicle, all-inclusive. Forte dei Marmi and the Versilia coast in northern Tuscany are approximately 3 hours from Milan, from EUR 580. These Riviera routes are popular for summer day trips and weekend transfers from Milan; advance booking is recommended in June, July and August.
What is the difference between MilanobyCar and a Milan taxi for airport transfers?
The official fixed taxi tariff from Malpensa Airport to Milan city centre is EUR 104 for up to 4 passengers. The MilanobyCar Mercedes V-Class covers the same journey for EUR 180, for up to 6 passengers, with meet-and-greet inside the terminal, flight monitoring, 60 minutes free waiting, and the driver carrying all luggage. For groups of two or more with luggage, the private car service frequently represents equal or better value per person and always a significantly better experience than queuing for a metered taxi.
Is MilanobyCar a local Italian company?
Yes. MilanobyCar is a Milan-based, owner-operated NCC company established in 1993 and still run by the same founding team. We are not a global platform, a franchise, or a booking aggregator. Every vehicle belongs to us and every driver is employed directly by us. When you contact us, you are speaking directly to the team that will drive you.
Are prices fixed or can they change?
All prices are fixed and confirmed in writing before any payment is taken. The price never changes for traffic, tolls, luggage, or time of day. There is no dynamic pricing — Milan Fashion Week, Salone del Mobile, Christmas and New Year all carry the same fixed rate confirmed at booking.
What is included in the price?
Every booking includes: the private Mercedes, the English-speaking licensed NCC chauffeur, meet-and-greet inside the terminal with a name board, real-time flight monitoring, 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, full luggage assistance from baggage claim to your door, all motorway tolls, parking, and fuel. The confirmed price cannot change on arrival. No extras are added at the end of the journey.
How do I book a private car service in Milan?
Contact us by WhatsApp or phone at +39 335 821 0912, by email at booking@milanobycar.com, or via the online form at milanobycar.com/book-now. Provide your dates, pick-up address, destination, and number of passengers. You receive written confirmation with a fixed, all-inclusive price within the hour in most cases. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up.
Milan Private Car Service vs Taxi, Train and Rental Car
For travellers arriving at Malpensa or Linate, four transport options exist: official taxi, Malpensa Express train, rental car, and private car service. Taxis are metered and subject to traffic surcharges; the fixed official tariff from Malpensa is EUR 104, but this applies only to central Milan destinations. Trains are efficient for solo travellers with light luggage but require navigation of Milan's metro system on arrival. Rental cars add the stress of driving in a city centre with Limited Traffic Zones and limited parking. A Milan private car service from MilanobyCar provides a fixed price confirmed before travel, door-to-door service, a driver who carries luggage, and the flexibility to continue directly to Lake Como, Lake Garda or any other destination without changing vehicles or navigating public transport connections.
Lake Como and Lake Garda from Milan by Private Car
Milan's central position in Lombardy places it within easy reach of two of Italy's most celebrated lakes. Lake Como is 50 to 90 minutes by private car depending on the destination town: Como city and Cernobbio are the closest, while Bellagio and Varenna require a scenic drive along the western or eastern shore. Lake Garda is approximately 1 hour 10 minutes to the southern shore, with Sirmione — home of a medieval Scaligero castle and natural thermal springs — among the most requested day-trip destinations from Milan. Both lakes can be visited as a full-day private car tour with the driver waiting at each stop, or as a direct point-to-point transfer. All routes are fixed price, confirmed before travel, with no mileage or waiting-time supplements.
Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure and Forte dei Marmi by Private Car from Milan
The Italian Riviera and Versilia coast, reachable in 2 to 3 hours from Milan by private car, attract a different type of traveller to Lake Como: visitors to the fashion houses, private villas and yacht harbours of the Ligurian and Tuscan coasts. Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure are approximately 2 hours 15 minutes from Milan via the A7 motorway; Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta and the broader Versilia coast are approximately 3 hours via A15. MilanobyCar covers all these routes from EUR 450 (Portofino / S. Margherita) and EUR 580 (Forte dei Marmi). The V-Class accommodates families with luggage; early booking is essential in summer months when demand on these Riviera routes is highest.
