NCC drivers: how to start working with Italivia

How it works

The client books a trip on the site and sees the price straight away; the job then goes out to our partners.

• You decide. Each job shows the route, date, time, number of passengers, car class and fare. Whether you take it is up to you; we never push jobs on anyone.
• Paid on the day. The client pays the driver directly, in cash or by card. That money doesn't pass through us, so there's no transfer to wait for.
• A written agreement. We sign one with every partner. The commission is small, and we tell you the rate before your first trip and put it in the agreement.
• Work in every season. Airports and cities all year, the lakes in summer, the Alps and Dolomites in winter.

The most frequent bookings are from the airports of Milan (Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo), Rome (Fiumicino, Ciampino), Venice, Florence, Bologna and Naples. There are also intercity trips, rides to Lake Como and into Switzerland, and ski resort transfers in winter. Passengers are tourists and business travellers from many countries.

A driver app is coming soon: jobs and trip details will reach you through it. Until then, save our email address, info@italivia.com, so we don't lose touch. We'll write to the drivers who already work with us when it launches.

Who we're looking for

Any of these three options works:

1. a driver with their own NCC licence;
2. a driver employed by an NCC company;
3. a company with several cars and drivers.

A transport company with several cars sends a single application for all of them: you enter the number of cars in the form. If you'd like to work with us in a way of your own, describe it in the comment field; we're open to proposals on how to work together.

Travel agencies and hotels don't need the driver form: for them there is a "Partnerships" section on the contact page.

Milan brings in plenty of requests, but we need partners across the country:

• North: Turin, Genoa, Brescia, Verona, Padua, Venice, Trieste, Bologna, Rimini.
• Centre: Florence, Pisa, Rome.
• South and islands: Naples, Bari, Palermo, Catania, Cagliari.
• Lakes and border: Como, Garda, Lugano and the canton of Ticino.

Drivers who work the airports are especially welcome.

In winter most bookings are for the mountains. If you work near the resorts, say so in your application. We need drivers in the Dolomites (Cortina, Val Gardena, Alta Badia, Val di Fassa, Arabba, Plan de Corones), in Trentino and Lombardy (Madonna di Campiglio, Tonale, Bormio, Livigno), in the west (Sestriere, Cervinia, Courmayeur, La Thuile) and in Switzerland (St. Moritz, Zermatt).

Requirements

• A category B driving licence and driving experience: you'll state how many years in the form.
• An NCC authorisation, either your own or your employer's, plus a CAP KB, as Italian law requires.
• A clean car in excellent condition: a Comfort or Business saloon, a minivan with up to 8 seats, or a premium minivan.
• Insurance that covers carrying passengers.
• Punctuality, courtesy and a smartphone with WhatsApp.
• English or another foreign language isn't required, but it helps a great deal, as clients come from all over the world.

How to apply

The form is at the end of the page, with required fields marked by an asterisk. It takes about 5 minutes to fill in.

1. About you: first name and surname, phone, WhatsApp, the city you work in. Tick where you're willing to drive: within the city only, the region, the whole of Italy, Switzerland and abroad, or the ski resorts.
2. Your car: make, model, year, number of seats and class. At least 3 photos are needed: front, side and interior (JPG, PNG or HEIC).
3. Documents: both sides of your driving licence and a passenger-transport insurance policy. If the NCC licence is your own, tick the box and upload it. Optionally, a passport or ID and your CAP KB.
4. How you work: under your own licence, for an NCC company, or with a company of your own, and how many cars you have. Finally, your languages and any comments.

We check your details, documents and car photos, then get in touch on WhatsApp or by phone to introduce ourselves, explain the terms and sign the agreement.

If you have questions before applying, ask them in the chat on the site or email info@italivia.com.

What happens to your documents

Your details and files are used only to decide whether to work together. They're kept on a secure server and never published. If we don't end up working together, we delete them within 12 months.

You can ask to see them or have them deleted sooner at any time: info@italivia.com. The data controller is Italivia.
