About Renting a Car at Milan Airport Malpensa
Landing at Milan Malpensa Airport opens the door to northern Italy's most varied landscape. From here, you take the A8 motorway directly toward Milan's center, a drive of approximately 50 kilometers that takes around 45 minutes. If you instead want to explore Lombardy, head to Lago Maggiore, which lies just 30 minutes north by car, or continue to the magical Lake Como along E35.
Bergamo with its medieval upper town is reachable in just under one hour heading east, and to the west awaits Piedmont's wine district around Asti and Alba after approximately 90 minutes of driving. The best time to visit is spring or early autumn, when traffic is moderate and the nature around the northern Italian alpine lakes is at its most beautiful.
We compare prices from all major providers at Milan Airport Malpensa so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
