Over the Apennines, straight to your door
Florence is 118 km from Bologna and 111 km from Bologna Airport: about 1 hour 45 minutes door to door across the Apennines on the A1. The car collects you at the airport arrivals, your hotel or home, and drops you at the exact address: a hotel by the Duomo, a villa in the Chianti hills, or Florence airport.
It is the natural choice for groups with luggage, families landing at BLQ with a Tuscany itinerary, and anyone whose destination is not a city-centre station.
We also drive the reverse lane and the long-haul connections: Florence to Ravenna, Rimini and the riviera.
Fast train or private car to Florence?
Station to station, the high-speed train wins on paper: around 37 minutes Bologna Centrale to Firenze Santa Maria Novella, from roughly 10 to 30 euro per seat depending on when you book. If you are alone with a cabin bag and both ends of your trip are city centres, take the train. The car earns its price when the trip is really airport to hotel: from BLQ you would first ride the Marconi Express into town, then the train, then a taxi through the ZTL maze. One vehicle does the whole thing in about 1h45, at any hour, with four suitcases in the boot, and per vehicle it splits well for 3 or more. It is also the only option for Chianti villas and towns the rails skip. Updated July 2026.
