Private Transfer vs Taxi — What’s the Difference?

A private transfer (in Italy known as NCC — noleggio con conducente) is a pre-booked car or van with a driver, arranged in advance for a specific journey. Unlike a taxi, an NCC cannot be flagged down on the street — it’s booked ahead of time, and the price is agreed before you travel.

Taxis, by contrast, operate on a meter and can be hailed or called on the day. For visitors flying into a major airport or arriving with heavy luggage, a private transfer generally offers a more predictable, comfortable experience — a driver waiting for you by name, with no need to find a taxi rank on arrival.
