One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a hotel near Piazza Grande, BLQ to the Museo Enzo Ferrari, or your Modena hotel to the airport on the way home. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. For a departure, the pickup time you choose is confirmed with the reservation.

Round-Trip Service

Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: Bologna Airport to your hotel in Modena on arrival, and the drive back to BLQ on the last day. A visit to Modena for the motor industry is often short, two or three days, so setting the return flight's pickup at the same time as the arrival saves a second booking later. You choose both pickup times, and your confirmation shows them.

Hourly Service

Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at BLQ, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Bologna Airport to Modena: Route and Drive Time

Modena is 40 km west of Bologna Airport. The car joins the motorway near the airport and follows the A1 towards Milan, leaving it at Modena, so the transfer never crosses the centre of Bologna. In normal traffic the drive takes 40–55 minutes.

The motorway section is short, and the traffic around the Bologna junctions at the morning and evening peaks sets most of the time. On the Modena side, an address on the northern edge of the city, closer to the motorway, comes first; the historic centre around Piazza Grande takes a few minutes more, and Maranello, 17 km south of Modena, is a separate run of 43 km from the terminal.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. The booking should carry the hotel or company address next to the flight number.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Bologna Airport

For Modena you land at the one terminal Bologna has. Baggage reclaim and the arrivals exit are both on the ground floor, and every airline uses the same way out.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules. If a factory visit in Modena starts early the next morning, a late landing still ends at your hotel that night.

The airport roads in front of the terminal are being brought under camera control during 2026, in an agreement between the airport, the Comune and ENAC, to keep cars from stopping irregularly.

Arriving at Your Address in Modena

Modena's old centre is a limited-traffic zone (ZTL), and every vehicle entering or leaving it is filmed at the access points, around the clock. For a hotel around Piazza Grande, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

The railway station, on Piazza Dante, lies about 1.5 km north of Piazza Grande. Frecciarossa and Italo high-speed services stop not there but at the Mediopadana station in Reggio Emilia, 31 km to the west. If you are joining colleagues arriving by train, check which of the two stations their ticket shows.

For a motor-industry programme, Ferrari runs two museums: the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena itself and the Museo Ferrari in Maranello. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

From Modena Back to Bologna Airport

Leaving Modena, the useful thing to know is how long the road takes, not when to leave: 40–55 minutes to Bologna Airport, longer in heavy traffic. The pickup time you choose is confirmed with the reservation.

Most of the drive is the A1, and the approach to Bologna is where time is lost at rush hour. From Maranello the run to the terminal is 43 km, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, so a last visit there can be the pickup address on the day you fly.

As BLQ has only the one terminal, departures upstairs, a flight number is enough for the drop-off. If the trip carries on by road instead, Parma is 60 km from Modena and Milan 173 km, and one transfer links your Modena hotel with the next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

How long does it take from Bologna Airport to Modena?

Modena is 40 km from the terminal along the A1, and the drive usually takes 40–55 minutes. The motorway junctions near Bologna at rush hour cause most of the variation.

Where do I meet the driver at Bologna Airport?

Bologna has a single terminal; you collect your bags on the ground floor and leave by the one arrivals exit, whatever the airline. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet.

Can we go straight from the airport to Maranello?

Yes. Maranello is 43 km from Bologna Airport, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Book it as a one-way transfer; to go on to your Modena hotel, 17 km further, book a second transfer from Maranello.

Can the car drive into the centre of Modena?

Modena's centre is a ZTL filmed by cameras at every entry point, day and night. Send the hotel address with your booking, and we will tell you whether the car can reach the entrance or where the nearest drop-off point is.

Should I fly into Bologna or Verona for Modena?

Bologna is closer: 40 km against 103 km from Verona. Verona suits a trip that also includes Lake Garda or the Brenner route, or a flight that only goes there. Either way, the pickup is at the airport where you actually land.

Our team arrives by plane and by train. Can one account cover both?

Yes. Book the flight arrivals from Bologna Airport and the train arrivals from the Mediopadana high-speed station at Reggio Emilia, 31 km west of Modena, as separate transfers under one account. Each transfer is confirmed on its own.
