I seem to have put myself in a brilliant position...
My flight lands at
22:30 in Milan Malpensa airport, meaning that I can't make the last
train from Milan to Parma.
I have two possibilities: either stay a night in Milan and take the
morning train, or rent a car in Malpensa, drive it to Parma and drop of
it there the next morning. I've done the accounting for both scenario's,
and the first one would come down to 100eur, while the car rental would
set me back about 120 eur. Therefore I'm probably going to rent the car
as it saves me a lot of hassle.
But before booking it, I'm wondering if there are other people that
might have the same issue. If so, a split fee would make things even
more interesting (at least for me ;).
I wouldn't really advise anyone to travel Malpensa-Parma by
car, certainly not during the night unless you have already
done it and know what to expect. Or you have a GPS navigator
in the car - using just visual roadsigns could make you end
up in a completely different place.
I found myself in the same position returning from Belgium
in the first week of January. I'd take the Malpensa-Milano
central station bus, stay at one the several affordable
hotels near the station, and take the first morning train.
