Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.

The Zermatt to Florence transfer takes just over 6 hours to cover the distance of 331 miles (533 km). With Daytrip's private car service, you can add sightseeing stops along the way to break up the long journey and see more of Switzerland and Italy than you had originally planned.
For instance, you can stop at the historic border town of Domodossola to explore the medieval town center and the incredible 14th-century museum of Etruscan and Roman history. While here, visit the 12 chapels of the Sacro Monte del Calvario, each depicting a different stage of the Passion of Christ.
Or, visit Stresa, the “Pearl of Lake Maggiore” and enjoy a day strolling along the lakefront promenade or exploring all that the local markets have to offer. You can even take the cable car up to Mount Mottarone and get stunning panoramic views of the area.
These offer the perfect chance to explore more of Switzerland and Italy and enrich your trip before your driver drops you off at your final destination in Florence.
About Florence
After you travel from Zermatt to Florence, you'll find yourself in the capital city of the Tuscany region, a world-renowned center for Italian arts and culture. If you arrive by private car service, your friendly English-speaking driver will drop you off at your accommodation and can provide a bit of local insight to jumpstart your experience in this remarkable city.
Florence is known as "The Birthplace of the Renaissance", and boasts an impressive collection of Renaissance architecture and artworks, including masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s “David” (displayed in the Galleria dell’Accademia). Perhaps the most iconic sight of the city is the massive red terracotta dome of the Duomo Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.
Florence is a large-scale testament to the Renaissance and your time here will expose you to some of the greatest Italian works in history. In addition to the many museums, open-air galleries, and incredible architectural features, you can look forward to Florence’s world-renowned shopping scene. The city is known for its fashion and has also held a historical foothold as one of the premier producers of leather and silk goods in the world.
Best of all, the historic city center is fairly compact and walkable, meaning you can spend the days easily immersing yourself in the masterful works of art while stopping to enjoy the classic Italian gastronomy and artisan craft markets. Consider a trip to the upper level of the Mercato Centrale, located in San Lorenzo, to peruse local meats, cheeses, groceries, and a unique upscale food hall.

You are granted flexible booking, seamless door-to-door service, and a friendly English-speaking driver dedicated to your safety and comfort en route. You will also receive help with your luggage on either end and be given a bit of local insight from your driver along the way.
Maximize your travel day
Since the journey from Zermatt to Florence is fairly long at just over 6 hours, it is the perfect trip to add sightseeing stops to. As you will be spending most of the day on the road anyway, stopping at popular sights such as Stresa or Domodossola will let you see places you’d otherwise overlook (and is a great way to stretch your legs or take a memorable lunch break)!
How to get from Zermatt to Florence
There are a few ways to get from Zermatt to Florence, including trains and buses. However, the only direct transportation option is a private car transfer with Daytrip, the quickest and most convenient way to get to Florence.
Train from Zermatt to Florence
A few different train routes from Switzerland will get you to Florence in around 6.5 hours. The most popular route requires two transfers to new trains: first in Brig, then at Milan Centrale station. The tickets for this route can range from $105-255. Other train routes go via Firenze Santa Maria Novella and cost around the same, though the journey time is closer to 7 hours.
Bus from Zermatt to Florence
The bus route from Zermatt to Florence is quite long and will take several transfers for a journey time of about 12 hours. You will need to change to a new bus in St. Jacques and again in Milan before boarding the final bus into Florence. Tickets tend to be comparable to the cheapest train tickets, and average around $78-132.
Flight from Zermatt to Florence
There are no simple, direct flights from Zermatt to Florence. It is possible to take a series of trains as above to either Zurich or Milan in order to catch a flight to Florence, but this does not save you any time. At best it takes 7.5 hours (though, typically it is closer to 9 hours). The total journey is not the cheapest, and it can cost as much as $505, depending on flight availability.
Private car transfer from Zermatt to Florence
The best way to get from Zermatt to Florence is with a convenient private car transfer, which will take just over 6 hours and starts at $200 per seat. This is the fastest and easiest way to travel. Not only is it the only direct option, but the most flexible, with the opportunity to stop for sightseeing or to travel to Florence directly.
Things to do when you get to Florence
However you get from Zermatt to Florence, your destination is home to some of the most fascinating art and cultural sites in Italy, as well as an exciting food scene to explore.
Explore the Duomo
This cathedral, officially called Santa Maria de Fiore, dominates the Florence skyline with its iconic red terracotta dome and bell tower. It also happens to be the third largest church in the entire world, and its gothic facade and elaborate interior design are well worth admiring. The complex includes two other buildings, the Baptistery and Giotto’s Campanile, all part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stroll the Uffizi Galleries
The remarkable Uffizi Galleries are home to some of the most famous paintings in the world, including Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus”. The open-air structures were originally an administrative palace for the Medici family before they were transformed into an art museum in the 16th century. You do need to book tickets in advance, and during the peak summer travel months, it may be worth springing for a priority entry ticket to ensure you don’t miss out on seeing the key works due to crowds.
Visit the Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is a colorful relic of the medieval era, a closed-spandrel segmental-arched bridge crossing the Arno. The name translates to “The Old Bridge”, pretty spot on considering it is the only bridge in Florence that survived the city’s widespread destruction during the Second World War. The bridge is only open to pedestrians and it serves as a functional connection between popular sites such as the Duomo on one side of the river, and the Palazzo Pitti (an impressive Renaissance palace) on the other.
Sample classic Florentine dishes
Florence has a unique gastronomic culture and plenty of restaurants to choose from. While you’re here, try dishes such as ribollita (a bread and vegetable soup) or the famous Florentine Steak, roasted minimally to create a “Caravaggesque” contrast of white marbling in the deep red flesh.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
As you plan for your Zermatt to Florence, it is important to consider the best time of year for your trip. As with the rest of Italy, the summer months in Florence are the busiest, despite the oppressive heat.
To avoid the biggest crowds around popular attractions and have nicer weather, we say the best time to visit Florence is in the spring or autumn shoulder seasons. September to November or March to May provide you with temperate weather for sightseeing, while avoiding the summer flight and accommodation price hikes.

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
