The Fiat 500 offers great value and style and is available from as little as 6 EUR per day from Centauro who operate a shuttle bus service to their off-airport location.
We recommend the Peugeot 308 (compact class) from Keddy in Begamo Airport. Offering an In Terminal pick up, coupled with customer rating of 7.7/10 and very competitive rates this is an excellent option for families and smaller groups.
The Fiat Ducato from Keddy offers space for 9 passengers at great value. In Terminal and a customer rating of ‘Very Good’, it gets our recommendation.

Getting to your Destination From the Airport
There is a shuttle bus that operates every 30 minutes from the airport to Bergamo railway station for onward journeys. A number of bus companies operate routes from the airport to Bergamo and some, less frequently to Milan itself. TerraVision operate routes to the ski resorts from the airport but schedules and operations may vary. Check online www.terravision.eu or at the airport information desk where timetables are available. Taxis are available outside the arrivals hall and if you’ve pre-booked a Rhino hire car or wish to hire one, the desks are easily located in the public area of the arrivals hall. It is a very busy airport so be aware that unless you are quickly through controls, you may well have to queue, sending a party member through as soon as possible often helps you get away sooner.

Shopping at Bergamo Airport
Being close to the fashion houses of Milan, airport duty free is stuffed with designer stores selling their clothes and accessories at duty free prices. Nearly every fashion label is represented there and duty free has been described there as a shopaholic’s dream. In addition there is the usual duty free alcohol and tobacco outlet also offering wine from the region. Finally, a local crafts and produce shop can help you with very last minute gifts.
