Transfer insights for Florence Airport
Florence Airport (Peretola) operates from a single terminal building with arrivals on the ground floor. The baggage-hall exit is where your Transfeero driver will meet you holding a nameplate, within the free 60-minute wait window for flight delays. Immigration and baggage collection flow directly into a compact arrivals hall; the airport handles both Schengen and non-Schengen passengers. Ground-level forecourt access is unrestricted for licensed vehicles, and NCC-licensed private transfers incur no additional pickup fees.
The route from the airport to Florence's centre runs directly onto the A11 Florence-Sea motorway, typically 20 minutes under free-flowing conditions. During weekday peak hours—7:00–9:00am and 5:00–7:00pm, plus 4:00pm school dismissal during term—congestion regularly extends journey times to 50–60 minutes. The motorway feeds into the city's road network with no major named bottlenecks between airport and centre; however, Friday afternoons and summer weekends see sustained heavy traffic on approach to the city.
Florence's historic centre is protected by a ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato), a restricted-traffic zone requiring municipal access payment of €5 per vehicle entry. The ZTL operates Monday–Friday 7:30am–8:00pm and Saturday 7:30am–4:00pm; Sundays and public holidays are unrestricted. NCC-licensed private-hire vehicles such as Transfeero's partners have free, unrestricted access to the ZTL and all restricted-traffic areas, with all zone fees and motorway tolls included in your fixed transfer price—no hidden charges, ever.
Taxis from the rank charge a fixed daytime fare of €22–25 and require navigating queues that can stretch 20–30 minutes during peak arrivals. The Vola in Bus shuttle costs €7 but runs on a fixed schedule with no flexibility for luggage-heavy travellers or tight connections. Pre-booking a Transfeero private transfer eliminates queueing, guarantees a vehicle sized for your group and bags, and includes real-time flight monitoring so your driver adjusts automatically to delays or terminal changes at zero extra cost.
