AR Transfer Service is a licensed private transfer company based in Montalcino, in the heart of Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia. We drive travellers door-to-door in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class seating up to 7 passengers, at a fixed price agreed before departure, with no booking platform or agency commission. Our most requested route is Rome Fiumicino Airport to Val d’Orcia — around 200 km and roughly 2 hours 30 minutes’ drive, from €400 for the whole vehicle — and we also cover any other destination in Italy on request.

Wine Tours in Tuscany
Full-day tours to Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wineries, with cellar visits booked in advance on your behalf.
Your Driver, Alessandro Rivaldo
Alessandro drives every transfer personally. He holds chauffeur licence no. 2, issued by the Comune di San Giovanni d'Asso and now under the Comune di Montalcino, and speaks Italian and English.
We are based in Montalcino, in the Val d’Orcia between Montepulciano and Montalcino, and we know these roads because we live on them. That means knowing which approach to Siena closes during the Palio, where the ZTL boundaries fall in Florence and Pisa, and how long the SR2 through the Val d’Orcia really takes in August rather than in March. On longer routes we drive to Rome, Milan, the Amalfi Coast and anywhere else in Italy.
Airport private transfers
Which airports do you cover, and how does the pickup work?
We operate from Rome Fiumicino (FCO), Rome Ciampino (CIA), Florence (FLR), Pisa (PSA) and Bologna (BLQ). Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name and monitors your flight in advance, so a delayed landing costs you nothing. We do not apply a rigid waiting limit: your driver waits while you clear passport control and collect your luggage, at no charge. If you would like us to hold the pickup for longer, tell us and we will agree the cost with you beforehand. From Rome Fiumicino to the Val d’Orcia the drive takes about two and a half hours, almost entirely on the A1 motorway.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A private transfer from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Montalcino starts at €400 for the whole vehicle, carrying up to seven passengers, with VAT, tolls and fuel included. The price is fixed when you book and does not change afterwards.
The drive covers about 200 km and takes roughly 2 hours 30 minutes, almost all of it on the A1 motorway. Allow longer in August and on summer weekends, when traffic on the final stretch through the Val d’Orcia slows down.
If you are travelling to Florence on your own or as a couple, the high-speed train from Rome is usually cheaper. For the Val d’Orcia the comparison changes: the nearest stations are Chiusi-Chianciano Terme and Buonconvento, and from there you still need a taxi or a local bus to reach Montalcino, Pienza or Montepulciano. Our fare is fixed for the vehicle rather than charged per person, so the larger your group, the closer the two options become.
We monitor your flight and adjust the pickup time automatically, so a delay caused by the airline never costs you extra. There is no rigid waiting limit: your driver waits while you clear passport control and collect your luggage. If you would like him to hold the pickup for longer, tell us and we will agree the cost with you beforehand.
Up to seven passengers plus the driver, with room for more than six large suitcases as well as hand luggage. If you are travelling with more luggage than usual, or with golf bags, bicycles or ski equipment, tell us in advance and we will confirm before you book.
