When your hotel offers a shuttle service and you need to find or confirm it at the airport.
'Navetta' (shuttle bus) comes from 'nave' (ship) — the diminutive suggests a small vessel going back and forth. 'C'è una navetta' (is there a shuttle) is a simple and direct inquiry. Many hotels near Italian airports offer complimentary shuttle services.
La navetta è gratuita o a pagamento?
Is the shuttle free or paid?
Always confirm this before boarding
Ogni quanto passa la navetta?
How often does the shuttle run?
Frequency varies — some are every 15 min, others hourly
Dove si aspetta la navetta?
Where do you wait for the shuttle?
Usually at a designated pick-up point outside arrivals
Hotel shuttles in Italy are common near airport hotels but rare for city centre hotels, which rely on public transport. The service is usually free for hotel guests. Confirm the pick-up point with your hotel before landing — numbers and signs change seasonally at major airports.
