Lucca is a small town, located 45 minutes outside of Florence and 25 minutes outside of Pisa, and taxis can be unreliable if you are trying to get somewhere (like a wedding) on time. You can call taxis in Lucca but can end up waiting 30-45 minutes for it to arrive so plan accordingly if you choose this option. We also recommend having a car to explore Lucca and Pisa in your free time. There are familiar rental car agencies like Hertz, Sixt, Enterprise, Alamo etc located at the Florence and Pisa airports. Most of our guests are arriving to Italy on different days/times so we are unable to coordinate a transfer from Florence to Lucca. We apologize for the inconvenience.
