English One price for the car
A private transfer from Fiumicino to Cortona costs from €466 per vehicle for one to four passengers, fixed when you book.
Cortona is one of Tuscany's oldest Etruscan towns and became world-famous through 'Under the Tuscan Sun', Frances Mayes's book about her house outside its walls. Your Zonetransfers driver waits after baggage reclaim at Fiumicino and drives you to Cortona for a fixed price from €466.
From the airport the route climbs the A1 to the Valdichiana exit and the Perugia–Bettolle link to the Cortona exit; your driver then climbs the hillside to the walls. It is roughly 234 km, about 2 h 40 min without heavy traffic, and the price starts at €466 for the whole vehicle. Zonetransfers emails your voucher with a 24-hour number.
