Transport from the Airport

Because Camp Darby is geographically isolated with no direct public transit or commercial ride-share services, incoming personnel must pre-arrange all airport and local transportation prior to departure.

1. Designated Ports of Debarkation (Airports)

Depending on your flight routing and family logistics, you will arrive at one of three primary airports:

• Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA) – Pisa: The closest commercial airport to Camp Darby (approximately 15 minutes away).

• Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR) – Florence: Located approximately one hour east of the installation.

• Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (FCO) – Rome: Mandatory for families traveling with pets if the pet and carrier combined exceed 3 kg (approximately 6.6 lbs) or if the pet carrier cannot safely fit within standard airport shuttle seating spaces.

2. Immediate Arrival & Sponsor Coordination

Upon landing, immediately notify your gaining unit or designated sponsor of your arrival. Individual units coordinate inbound reception and transport from the airport in accordance with current local command tracking policies.

If your sponsor is unable to provide a direct command pickup, you must utilize one of the following options:

• Commercial Taxi: Available directly at airport taxi stands. A one-way fare from the Pisa Airport to Camp Darby is typically around $40. Note: Local commercial taxis are restricted from entering the installation and may only drop off or pick up passengers at the Main Gate (Gate 4).

• Rental Car: Readily available at all major airports. Please note that rental car fees for personal transit gaps are non-reimbursable on your final travel voucher.

3. Transit to Temporary Lodging & Off-Post Hotels

Whether you are staying on-post at the Casa Toscana or at an approved off-post hotel, you must systematically plan your daily transit to and from the installation until your Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) arrives.

• No Installation Shuttles: There are no military shuttles, public bus routes, or commercial ride-share services (such as Uber or Lyft) connecting Camp Darby to local communities.

• Expense Tracking: If using authorized transit to travel between an off-post hotel and the installation, retain all physical receipts to file for potential reimbursement on your final travel voucher.

• Sunday Ground Logistics: Plan your arrival subsistence carefully. There are no dining facilities or food options open on Camp Darby on Sundays, and the Commissary and Post Exchange (PX) are closed.
