Milan is roughly 50km (31 miles) away from the airport, and the main road to the city is the A8 toll motorway. The journey by car typically takes around 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic.

Look out for ZTL (Zona Traffico Limitato) zones or congestion zones once you’re in Milan’s centre. In these zones car access is either limited to certain times or you’ll need to pay a fee to enter.

The A4 and A26 motorways are also easily accessible from the airport, connecting you to Turin, Lake Como and beyond. The speed limits in Italy are 50km/h (approximately 31 mph) in cities and up to 130km/h (approximately 81 mph) on motorways.

Many motorways in Italy have tolls. Look for ‘Alt Stazione’ signs. You can pay by cash or card, or use a prepaid ‘Viacard’. These cards are available in many shops and petrol stations across Italy.

When you return your hire car to Milan Malpensa Airport, just follow the signs for ‘Car Return’ and park in your hire car provider’s parking spaces. If you need to refuel your car before returning it, there’s a petrol station just five minutes away on the SS527.
