Greetings,
Is anyone familiar or used the car services from this company?

That is certainly an eye-opening website. Monterosso (Cinque Terre) to Siena for 943 Euro seems steep unless you've driven it late on a Sunday afternoon in July. On the other hand who wouldn't jump at the chance to go from Trieste to the Lipica Stud Farm for only 98 Euro, but then you realize the prices quoted on the website are for one way.

Thanks Mike, very interesting examples. Cost with car services are high and I guess expected. I have used Daytrip in the past. Cost is high but reliable. This site was half the price but not familiar with it. Getting to and from airport is a challenge sometimes. I have to go from Lucca to FLR, 1:00 PM flight on a Sunday. Would have liked to fly out of Pisa but impossibly long connections. FLR has good options to get back to Boston. I was also wondering if FreeNow app would be an option. It is only an hour drive. Any recommendations appreciated.

This forum thread has info on getting from Lucca to Firenze Peretola Airport: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/italy/transfer-from-lucca-to-florence-airport-firenze
Roberto's bus link works but it looks like you'd now need to transfer to the tram at the transfer hub called 'T2 Guidoni' There's also transfer to the tram at Santa Maria Novella station after taking the train.

The DD bus doesn’t stop at the airport terminal (it stops at the T2 Guidoni tramway station) but from the T2 Guidoni tramway starion you can take the tramway to the airport, and it’s only one stop (1 min).
The train to Santa Maria Novella or even to Rifredi then travel to airport and would take longer.
There are private transfer services that should be able to take you to the FLR airport for under 150€
