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.

The airport is well-connected by trains and buses. The Malpensa Express train is the fastest option to the city, connecting both terminals with Milan's Cadorna, Centrale, and Porta Garibaldi stations in about 40-55 minutes. Several bus companies (e.g., Terravision, Malpensa Shuttle) also offer frequent, lower-cost services to Milan Central Station, with a journey time of about 50-60 minutes, subject to traffic.
