Pisa (PSA): the best way to central Florence for four people
Four people on PisaMover and the regional train pay 65.20 euros in total, and four FlixBus tickets from 14.98 euros are about 60 euros. A taxi at 170 to 190 euros is 43 to 48 euros each, and a sedan carries three, not four. The train is still the cheaper way for a group. The taxi or car pays off only for a very late arrival or when the group has heavy bags and no appetite for a change at Pisa Centrale.
Direct coach to Florence is the best value: €59.92 for the group, about 1 h 35 min.

FlixBus runs the airport to Florence route in about an hour, with four Florence drop-offs including Santa Maria Novella and Piazzale Montelungo. Fares start at 14.98 euros but vary by date, so the figure is an estimate. The operator lists first and last departures of 01:00 and 23:59, and the actual times depend on the day, so check the booking page. Terravision's own site shows its Pisa to Florence coach as temporarily suspended, so do not rely on it.

A pre-booked sedan from Pisa airport to Florence starts at about 185 euros for up to three passengers, and some quotes run to 225 euros. The price is fixed at booking and the driver tracks your flight. It is the only door-to-door option that does not depend on a late-night train or coach.
Practical tips
- Pisa Centrale is the railway station for Pisa city, about 3 km from the airport. The 6.50 euro PisaMover ticket ends there, so you can stop in Pisa and carry on later by regional train.
- Regionale Veloce trains to Florence take about an hour and the all-stations Regionale takes up to 1 hour 25 minutes. They cost the same, so pick the faster one.
- Validate a paper regional ticket at the machine on the platform before boarding. Regularising an unvalidated ticket on board costs a 5 euro surcharge.
- The PisaMover and train are sold as one ticket on the Trenitalia site and app, with the shuttle fare added to the rail fare.
- The coach has several Florence drop-offs. Choose Santa Maria Novella or Piazzale Montelungo, next to the station, when you book.
- From 1 June to 30 September the PisaMover runs until 01:00. In October it stops at midnight.
