My mother and I are planning a trip to Italy in April. I'm anticipating booking a car with driver from Bologna airport to Ravenna, and then again from Ravenna to Assisi. I know this is going to be pricey but it seems worth it given her age and mobility issues. Does anyone have advice on booking this? The Ravenna to Assisi leg especially seems a bit atypical.

No experience but referred to here often
It will be pricey
Have you considered renting a car and driving yourself?

We started using cars and drivers a few years ago in Sicily and I'll never go back. My husband, too, has age and mobility issues and he is unable to drive. That puts everything on me. The convenience and peace of mind is worth having a car and driver to me and don't forget to factor in the parking challenges. Driving is so much more fun when you can actually see the sites rather than driving yourself. There are lots of options in that part of Italy. Try googling "car service northern italy", "car service bologna" and similar to get options. And, I would comparative shop. It's a competitive market and there can be huge price differences.

In 2022, we used Day Trip to get from Salerno to Rome. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the experience or the company.
