Trying to find a driver from Le Spezia to countryside 2 hours away

Posted by on

Any ideas of a driver for us in Le Spezia to a hotel called Agrivilla I pini two hours away in the countryside, see address below? Then that next morning drive us to Cinque Terre. We would take boat at end of that next day from Cinque terre back to le Spezia. Wondering if anyone has recommendation for this too.

Agrivilla i pini, Località Santa Margherita 37 • 53037 San Gimignano SI Toskana • Italy. ( This is the hotel we would stay night in countryside )

How much would this cost ? I have someone who quoted 320 euros each way.
Can I get a driver for less?

Probably not. 2 hrs away is a four hour round trip for the driver. Cinque Terre is a geographical area and not a specific location. The next morning --- where, specifically, are you going. The Regionale train is pretty handy in this area.

That sounds about right. Approx 1 euro per km that the driver has to travel ( i.e., round trip)

I see that as unlikely

google maps has it as a 2-3 hr trip depending on time of day.. So you are paying 80 euro ( or less) per driving hour.

Is the 320 euro what your lodging quoted? If you have not asked them about transport, I suggest you do so.

The price quoted sounds pretty good to me for the distance too. If you're looking at using the SAME driver for the return to the CT region, they'd have the cost of staying overnight in the San Gimignano area. If they're two different drivers - one for each way - it's a two-way trip for them back to their starting points. As well, 2 hours for the trip is more likely than not to be under estimated.

At a glance, Mydaytrip's estimate La Spezia>San Gimignano for a random dates in Sept, and Oct. was over 500 euros, one way.
