Between Rome and Florence the high-speed train is hard to beat: Frecciarossa and Italo trains link the two cities in under an hour and a half. A private transfer takes around three hours on the A1. So the car only makes sense in particular cases, and this page is about those.
When a Rome to Florence transfer is worth it
- You land at Fiumicino and want to go straight to Florence without crossing Rome to Termini.
- You are a family or group with luggage, and one car costs less than several train tickets plus taxis at both ends.
- Your hotel is in the Tuscan countryside, where the train doesn't go, or you want a stop on the way, such as Orvieto.

Florence to Rome or Fiumicino Airport
The same logic works in reverse. For a flight from Fiumicino, a transfer from Florence avoids the train into Termini and the second train out to the airport; book it as its own trip and leave a generous margin for motorway traffic.

Common questions
Is it better to take the train or a transfer from Rome to Florence?
For one or two people travelling light, the fast train: under 1.5 hours city centre to city centre. For groups, heavy luggage, a direct ride from Fiumicino or a countryside hotel, a transfer can be easier.
How long is the drive from Rome to Florence?
Around three hours on the A1 motorway, depending on traffic.
Can I get a transfer from Fiumicino Airport to Florence?
Yes. A private transfer can pick you up in arrivals and drive you straight to Florence, so you skip the train into Rome.
