Hmany Q (Feb 2026)
I had an excellent experience with ByCar and couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. Their response time was impressively fast, communication was clear and professional, and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other companies. The drivers were extremely friendly, punctual, and made the journey comfortable from start to finish. What I appreciated most is the flexibility in payment being able to pay after the ride is completed rather than paying the full amount in advance adds a great sense of trust and peace of mind.

To ensure your transfers from Milan to La Spezia are always as comfortable, timely, easy, and simple as possible, there are several important points to consider, as described in this section.
For a trip to La Spezia, the driver will meet you at your hotel reception or at the entrance, next to your parked car. However, during high season, there are many tourists everywhere, and it can be difficult to find someone with a sign in the crowd. Therefore, we send our clients the WhatsApp number of their offer so they can chat or exchange geolocation. Connect to Wi-Fi or activate roaming on your phone in advance to stay in touch and avoid wasting time searching.
The driver will pick you up at your specified address at the agreed-upon time. The transfer price includes a 15-20 minute complimentary waiting time at your hotel or apartment in Milan. The subsequent waiting time costs 60-80 euros per hour depending on the vehicle class (our operator will inform you of the exact price in advance when you book the car).
If you need to spend more time at the hotel or stop somewhere else on the way (stop at a store, have lunch at a restaurant, or pick up your apartment keys), please inform our staff in advance when booking. Then the driver will be able to plan the trip correctly?
When booking a transfer from Milan to La Spezia, we ask you to provide as much accurate and detailed information about your luggage as possible: the exact number of suitcases, their dimensions, the presence of non-standard luggage (for example, a baby carriage), the exact amount of hand luggage, etc. This information is extremely important, because there are situations when passengers take more luggage or larger suitcases, as a result of which they do not fit into the booked car. Because of this, you have to call a second car, spend a lot of time on it and pay for it additionally.
Our call center operator will send you a letter with the dimensions of the suitcases, we ask you to study it and provide the exact parameters of your luggage, especially if you have a lot of it.
Suitcases are generally available in sizes S, M, D and XL. The exact dimensions are described below.

Of course, passengers take with them not only suitcases. Luggage can consist of bags of various sizes, backpacks, laptops, strollers, packages, musical instruments, sports equipment. All this accumulates and ultimately takes up a lot of space.
Therefore, inform about all your things so that you can calmly and comfortably travel in a car adequately selected for your group of passengers.
