Staying at Malpensa: what the hotel shuttle does not tell you
Hotels around Malpensa are not equally close: an airport hotel can be a village 10 km from the terminal. Here is the real distance from each hotel, and when a car is worth it.

What airport means here
Around Malpensa the label airport hotel covers two very different things: a building you can walk to from the terminal, and a hotel in a village 10 km away whose shuttle runs to a timetable that ends at night. The second kind is where a transfer stops being a luxury and becomes the difference between a calm morning and a missed flight.
The table above gives the distance from each hotel to the terminal. We publish it because it is the number that decides the answer: under a certain distance the hotel shuttle is fine, beyond it you are waiting for a bus at five in the morning.
When a car is worth it
Two situations, and they are easy to recognise. Early departures, when the shuttle is not running yet. And groups with luggage, where a shuttle fare per person costs more than one fixed price for the whole car.
For everything else the hotel shuttle is the right answer, and we will say so: we would rather lose a booking than sell you a car you do not need.

Do you collect at the hotel or at the terminal?
At the hotel, at the door, at the time you choose. On arrivals we meet you inside the terminal with the name sign and walk you to the car.
If my flight is late, do you wait?
Yes. We track the landing, and the waiting time after landing is included, so a delayed flight does not create a new charge.
Is the price different from the city centre?
Yes, and it is published: a hotel at Malpensa is a different journey from the centre of the city, and we price it separately rather than agreeing it at the door.
What if the hotel shuttle would be enough?
Then use it. We would rather tell you that than sell you a car for fifteen minutes.

Flight, date, addresses and luggage: with those four things we answer with a price, not with a question.
