Where you're going
A hotel in central Bologna. It's a short ride, but the old town is a limited-traffic zone. It applies every day from 7:00 to 20:00, and "Sirio" cameras record every car that enters. The university quarter and some streets are closed around the clock. A chauffeur car can go in if its plate is registered with the city council. Hotels register their guests' cars, so let us know your hotel when you book.
The trade fair. The Fiera exhibition district is 12 km from the terminal, around 20 minutes. It's the same price as the centre: €80 in a saloon, €105 in a minivan.
Modena or Maranello. Modena is 45 km, around 40 minutes, and costs the same as a ride into central Bologna: €80. Maranello, home of Ferrari, is 55 km and around 50 minutes away, from €100.
Further afield. From the airport you can go straight on to Florence (110 km) or to the seaside at Rimini (130 km). Both drives take about 1 h 20 min.

Every figure already includes motorway tolls, luggage and up to 60 minutes of waiting at the airport. It's locked in once the booking is accepted and doesn't change for that route.
The return trip with us is 10% cheaper. You pay the driver on the day, by card or cash, and there's no prepayment.
Inside the Marconi terminal
The airport has one terminal. Here's the order of things:
- Passengers on flights from outside Schengen go through passport control first. If yours isn't a European passport, leave some time for the EU Entry/Exit System (EES).
- The baggage belts are on the ground floor. For 2026 the airport aims to deliver the last suitcase within roughly half an hour on 90% of flights.
- From the belts you walk straight out into the arrivals hall. Your driver is waiting there, with your name on the sign.
- Chauffeur cars have their own spaces by the exit from the hall, so the walk with your bags is very short.
If your flight is delayed, we can see it from the flight number and move the pick-up free of charge.
Monorail or car
The Marconi Express runs from the airport to Bologna Centrale station in 7 minutes and operates until midnight. For one person without suitcases, it's an easy choice. A car makes more sense when there are several of you or lots of luggage, when you want door-to-door service, or when you're heading for Modena or Maranello rather than Bologna.
A few more details
- Free internet in the terminal: the "Emilia Romagna Free WiFi" network.
- A multi-storey car park is being finished next to the airport in 2026. Signs outside the terminal may change, but your driver meets you inside, in the hall.
- If friends are collecting some of your group in their own car, the Wait Zone is useful. They can wait there free for up to 60 minutes until you call. Then they drive round to Kiss & Fly, where stopping is free for 10 minutes, no more than three times a day.
Questions
Our plane lands after midnight. How do we get into town?
By then the monorail has stopped running, but we meet flights around the clock. You know the price in advance, and it's fixed in your booking.
How does the driver reach my hotel if there are cameras in the centre?
The hotel registers its guests' number plates with the city council. We send you the plate the day before, together with the driver's name; pass it on to the hotel if they ask.
How much is a trip to Maranello and back to the airport?
One way it's €100 in a saloon or €130 in a minivan. If you ride back to the airport with us as well, the return leg is 10% cheaper.
We're flying with two children. Will you bring car seats?
Yes, free and for any age. Give the children's ages when you book. If there are more than three of you, you'll need a minivan: up to 8 people and up to 8 pieces of luggage.
