Greve in Chianti to Florence Airport

Work back from the flight. Florence Airport says check-in normally opens 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes before the scheduled departure, depending on the airline, and advises being there about 2 hours before. The drive is about 45 minutes on a clear road, and it crosses Florence on the ring boulevards, so traffic comes on top. Give the carrier your flight time and agree the pickup with them.

Piazza Matteotti, Via Roma, Via Giuliotti, Via dell'Arco, Via Suburbana and part of Via Cesare Battisti are a limited-traffic zone with one gate, at Piazzetta Santa Croce, watched by cameras. A taxi or licensed private-hire car can have a temporary permit for the time it takes to load luggage. It is free, it is asked for in advance from the local police, and it covers only the hour named in the request. Parking inside is banned while the zone is active.

Every Saturday the Comune closes the zone to all vehicles for the weekly market, with no exceptions: from 06:00 to 17:00 in the summer set-up, which runs from Easter week to 31 October, and from 06:00 to 15:00 in winter. Events in the square close it in the same way. If your hotel is inside the zone, agree with it where a car can collect you, and pass that to the carrier with the pickup time.

The departures area is on the ground floor and the 40 check-in desks are on the first floor, up 2 lifts, an escalator or a staircase. Self bag drop desks sit beside them for the airlines that use them. The terminal opens at 04:00. There is no left-luggage office at the airport, so an early arrival waits with its bags.

The quickest line to the airport on a clear road is the SR222 Chiantigiana for about 21 km and then Florence's streets, with no motorway and no toll. A carrier may drive the A1 instead: down the Greve valley and round Florence, about 46 km with about 18 km of toll motorway. The two differ by under a minute on a clear road. Ask the carrier to state any toll in the offer.

On Sundays and holidays line 365 A runs six buses from Greve Piazza Trento to the Montelungo hub in Florence, the first at 07:15 and the last at 17:40, taking 52 to 65 minutes. The tram to the airport is 20 minutes more. That holiday timetable does not run on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Easter or 1 May. On weekdays and Saturdays the first bus leaves at 05:35.

The T2 tram carries one bag up to 10 kg and 55x40x20 cm free. A larger bag, up to 80x45x25 cm and 20 kg, needs a second ticket, anything bigger is refused, and the tram has no luggage space. A private car takes what the vehicle you booked takes, so put the number of cases in the booking notes.

Carriers provide child seats on request, but you need to book them. Put each child's age in the booking notes, because a booster and a rear-facing infant seat are different equipment. Confirm the seat is in the offer before you pay.

Work back from the flight. Florence Airport advises being at check-in about 2 hours before the scheduled departure, and the drive from Greve is about 45 minutes on a clear road. The line runs through village centres and across Florence on the ring boulevards, so traffic comes on top: give the carrier your flight time and let them set the pickup.

About 45 minutes on a clear road, for roughly 37 km from Piazza Matteotti to the terminal forecourt. The line is the SR222 Chiantigiana for about 21 km through Strada in Chianti and Grassina, then city streets across Florence, with no motorway. The alternative by the Greve valley and the A1 is about 9 km longer and takes about the same time on a clear road.

Not a direct one. Autolinee Toscane line 365 A runs from Greve Piazza Trento to the Firenze Hub Montelungo bus station by Santa Maria Novella, and the T2 tram goes from the centre to the airport in 20 minutes for €2.00. On weekdays and Saturdays the first bus leaves Greve at 05:35 and reaches the hub at 06:35. On Sundays and holidays there are six buses, the first at 07:15. A private transfer leaves from your door at the hour your flight needs.

Only for a late-morning flight. The first Sunday bus leaves Greve Piazza Trento at 07:15 and reaches the Montelungo hub in Florence at 08:20, and the tram to the airport takes 20 minutes more. The airport advises being at check-in about 2 hours before departure. For an earlier flight the road is the only way, and a booked car is the one that comes at the hour you set.

On most days, with a permit. Piazza Matteotti and the streets around it are a limited-traffic zone, and a taxi or licensed private-hire car can get a free temporary permit for the time it takes to load luggage. On Saturdays the area is closed to all vehicles, with no exceptions, from 06:00 to 17:00 in summer and from 06:00 to 15:00 in winter, so a Saturday pickup inside those hours is from a point outside the zone that you agree with the hotel.

Not on the Chiantigiana. The SR222 line into Florence uses no motorway, so it has no toll. If the carrier drives the Greve valley road and the A1 instead, about 18 km of that line is toll motorway. Ask for any toll to be stated in the offer.

On the first floor. Florence Airport has 40 check-in desks on the first floor of the passenger terminal, reached from the ground-floor departures area by 2 lifts, an escalator and a staircase. Check-in normally opens 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes before the scheduled departure, depending on the airline. The terminal opens at 04:00.

No. Greve has no railway station; the Comune's own directions send rail passengers through Firenze Santa Maria Novella and a bus. The public route to the airport is that bus and then the T2 tram. A car from your door reaches the terminal in about 45 minutes on a clear road, with the cases loaded once.

TransferBnB does not publish a fixed price for this route. You post the trip with your flight time, passenger count, luggage and the exact pickup address, and verified carriers send offers per vehicle that you compare before you pay. The offer should state whether any motorway toll is included.
