Bellagio Forum: Milan, car or train to Lake Como?



Re: Hiring Car/Driver Malpensa Milan Airport to Varenna (Lake Como Area)

I'm sorry but I believe I understated the price differential between train and car/driver. I found an internet site and booked, since it was the only one that replied. We weighed time saved against the money spent so we opted for a car and driver; not too bad divided four ways. Seems the train is quite cheap, but from Milan Milpensa to train station in Milan Central to Varenna and then back again to Milan Central Station would take a lot of time, which we are quite short of. Website for car and driver is: laruscar@libero.it. They responded promptly. We bargained and got a slightly reduced fare for round trip--65 euros each round trip. We are leaving 9/17/09 and I understand it is raining there and we return on Sunday when there are fewer trains. Also trains from Milan to Varenna are only every two hours. So---Good luck. Would like to know your experience if you elect this option. Carol
