With Mundo Limousine you hire a private Mercedes and an English-speaking driver in Florence for as long as you need: an airport pick-up, a few hours around the city, or a full day in Chianti, Siena, Pisa or on the coast. You choose where to go; we drive and plan the day with you.
Our drivers know Tuscany well, from the famous sights to the small villages and family wineries that tour buses skip. Couples, families, small groups and business travelers book us for the same reason: one car, one driver, and no timetable but yours.
Not included: entrance tickets, tastings and meals, unless your quote says otherwise.
Many visitors compare hiring a driver with renting a car. Here is the honest comparison for day trips from Florence.
| Rental car | Private driver | |
|---|---|---|
| ZTL fines in Florence | Your responsibility | Not your problem |
| Parking | You find and pay for it | Drop-off and pick-up where allowed |
| Wine tastings | The driver cannot drink | Everyone can taste |
| Route planning | You plan it | Planned with local knowledge |
| Best for | Long, independent trips | Day trips, groups, wine days |
ZTL rules from the City of Florence.
Most of Florence’s historic centre is a limited traffic zone. It is active Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., cameras read every plate, and a car that is not authorised gets a fine, according to the City of Florence. A driver removes that risk completely.
Check that the company is licensed for private hire with driver, ask for a written confirmation with the pick-up time and place, and agree in advance what is included, such as waiting time and tolls. Clear answers to these three points are a good sign.
There is no fixed rule. As a reference, Rick Steves suggests rounding up a taxi fare to the next euro and €10 to €20 for the group for a private guide. That is a fair range for a full day; for a short transfer, rounding up is enough.
Popular days out include a Chianti wine tour, a Cinque Terre day trip, Siena and San Gimignano, Pisa and Lucca, or a Florence airport transfer. See all our private Tuscany tours.
Book your driver for a single transfer or for a whole day.
Tell us your pick-up point, dates, group size and the places you want to see.
We suggest the order, timing and car for your day, and adapt it to what you like.
Your driver collects you at your hotel, the airport, the train station or the cruise port.
It depends on the hours, the distance, the car and the size of your group, so we quote every trip individually. Send your plan through our booking form and we will send you a price.

A rental car suits long, independent trips. A private driver is better for day trips from Florence, wine tastings and groups, because you avoid ZTL fines, parking and driving after tastings.
There is no fixed rule. Rick Steves suggests rounding up taxi fares and €10 to €20 for the group for a private guide, a fair reference for a full day with a driver.
