SHARE TAXI FROM BERGAMO - MALCESINE Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 09:27 AM UTC
Hi
I am flying with my husband into Bergamo airport on Fri 30 May to stay in Malcesine for a week. As I am pregnant we can't face doing the journey by public transport, are not keen on driving ourselves and are blanching at the cost of a taxi - cheapest quote I've had is 145 E each way (not too bad compared to some others!).
We would be interested in sharing the cost of a taxi transfer if anyone is travelling on the same date/s to a similar destination? Our flight arrives in Bergamo 1500h.
Thanks
Eleanor

Hi Eleanore!
first of all, congratulations!
Yes, given the cost of gasoline and the distance, 145 euro seems a good price.
If you don't find someone willing to share (not likely, i fear: how many people going to Malcesine AND reading VT can you find on the same flyght? mmmmmmm) could a shuttle bus be ok for you?
If so, try this service: http://www.gardapass.com/bus-transfer/Eng/Index.htm
They are connected to hotels, maybe you have to see if your hotel is part of the consortium, but you can give it a try and call for more info.
Ciao
Francesco

Hi Elanor,
I agree with Francesco, however, if you are looking for someone to share the cost of a taxi it ,may be better to give a little more information about yourselves on your VT homepage. For instance, where you're from, what age you are.....just general information, people can be rather shy when it comes to sharing costs if they feel they are unable to connect with their fellow travellers.
