Official white taxis are available at designated ranks outside the arrivals area of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Fixed fares apply for journeys to specific destinations, including Milan city center (approximately €104) and Fiera Milano Rho. Always use authorized taxis and confirm the fare before starting your trip.

Rental Cars

Major car rental companies (including Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Sixt, and Maggiore) have desks in the Arrivals Hall of Terminal 1 and near the train station in Terminal 2. Pre-booking is highly recommended, especially during peak seasons. An International Driving Permit may be required for non-EU drivers.

Milan Malpensa Airport is the largest international airport in northern Italy, serving Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria, as well as the Swiss Canton of Ticino. The airport is 49 kilometres northwest of Milan, next to the Ticino river dividing Lombardy and Piedmont.

In 2022, Malpensa Airport handled 21.3 million passengers and was the 23rd busiest airport in Europe in terms of passengers and 2nd busiest airport in Italy in terms of passengers after Rome Fiumicino Airport, and the busiest in Italy for freight and cargo, handling 721.254 tons of international freight annually.

Malpensa airport is 9th in the world and 6th in Europe for the number of countries served with direct scheduled flights.

Together with Linate Airport and Orio al Serio Airport, it forms the Milan airport system with 42,2 million passengers in 2022, the largest airport system in Italy by number of passengers.

The airport was opened in 1909 by Giovanni Agusta and Gianni Caproni to test their aircraft prototypes, before switching to civil operation in 1948.
