We are 4 adults travelling to Dolomites from Malpensa airport early August for 4 days only. Looking for a reputable chauffeur or Taxi driver to pick us up and take us there and take us around for the 3 days , leaving the last day to drop us back to Malpensa airport. Thank you for your help much appreciated.

Where, exactly, in the Dolomites are you going? We always take the train to Bolzano from Milano Centrale then have a taxi take us to our lodging in Ortisei. The Bolzano to Ortisei ride is €90. Once there, hotels provide a bus pass for the valley and we buy a pass for the lifts. A car is not really required.
Your plan for a driver the entire time will be very costly,but if you can tell us exactly where you are staying we can be more helpful.

Expect to pay around 250 € per day, plus board and lodging. I wonder if you know how far Milan and the Dolomites are.
Obviously no taxi driver would leave from Milan, where cabs works on the meter, to work as a chauffeur for 4 days. Licensed taxi drivers have work shifts they have to comply with.

This is from the Milan Malpensa Airport website. You will need to use Google Translate to fill out the quotation form.

As Dario pointed out, it will be expensive. Considering drivers wages, benefits, use of the vehicle, gas, tolls, room and board and profit for the agency, if you got a price of 2000 EUR for 4 days it would be a deal.

nuba,
As the others have said, using a private driver is going to be a VERY expensive proposition. Is there some reason you don't want to use trains or other local transit?
I can provide the name of a service in the Milan area if you're interested.
