Terminal 1 or Terminal 2
Malpensa has two terminals, 15 minutes apart by car, so it matters which one your plane actually lands at.
- Terminal 1 is the main one, used by most airlines. Your driver stands where you come out of baggage reclaim, with your name on a sign.
- Terminal 2 is small and served mostly by easyJet. There is only one way out of arrivals, so you can hardly miss each other.
We go by your flight number, not by the terminal written in the booking. If the airline switches terminals, the driver goes there too.
Why the car isn't right outside the door
ENAC ordinance 7/2026 bans chauffeur cars from pulling up at the kerb. They can't use the free "Polmone" waiting area either, as it is set aside for private cars. Terminal 1 has a dedicated NCC car park on the arrivals level; at Terminal 2 the NCC area is on the north side.
That's why the driver meets you indoors and walks with you to the car, normally a few minutes on foot. The "T1 XL" expansion of Terminal 1 runs until 2028, and the access roads keep changing while it's under way.
Where people go from Malpensa
Into Milan. The Duomo is 49 km away, 50–60 minutes by road. On weekday mornings (7–10) and evenings (17–20) the A8 into the city is busy and can cost you another 30–60 minutes. If you have a train to catch or a meeting, let us know and we'll leave with time in hand.
Licensed NCC cars with a registered plate are exempt from the Area C charge (Mon–Fri 7:30–19:30), so the driver can take you right to a hotel inside the zone.
To the lakes. Stresa on Lake Maggiore is 40 km, about 35 minutes; Como is 50 km, about 45 minutes. Como's walled old town is a ZTL watched by cameras, so the driver drops you at the nearest point where cars are allowed. Bellagio is further: 82 km, around 1 h 25 min.
Switzerland and Turin. Lugano is 76 km, 60–75 minutes. St. Moritz is 173 km, roughly 3 hours, and ski carriage is included. Turin is 125 km, 1 h 30 min.

Once you've landed
- Arriving from a Schengen country means no passport check: you only wait for your cases.
- On a non-Schengen flight into Terminal 1, border control comes first. The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational since April 2026, and holders of non-EU passports can face long queues. The first hour of waiting is free, so there's no need to rush.
- The airport never closes, and we meet late-night and early-morning flights as well.
- Both terminals have free Wi-Fi, handy for messaging us if your roaming isn't working.
- The day before your trip, you'll receive the driver's name and the car's number plate.
