Why choose Italo? Flexibility If you want the utmost flexibility in business travel, Italo offers a range of solutions to meet your needs. Starting with Basic, which allows unlimited free changes in the traveller’s name, date and time of travel and journey ambience up to the time of departure, subject to availability. If something comes up and you are late arriving at the station, Basic tickets offer you an extra hour of time (“ExtraTempo”) to change your ticket to the next available train, subject to availability. Available in your departure station only, from Italo staff members with mobile devices. If what you want is the best value for money, and you’re not so concerned about flexibility, look for trains offering Economy service, permitting unlimited changes upon payment of a small fee (10%).
You can even book right on the platform! For an extra charge (about 15% extra), Italo allows you to purchase your ticket at the very last minute, right on the platform. Go to an Italo staff member on the platform and you will be assigned a seat on the train standing in the station. You can pay for your ticket at your convenience once you are on board.
Milan-Rome: a versatile choice of stations, including direct links Italo links Milan with Rome from stations at strategic locations in the two cities: Porta Garibaldi and Rogoredo in Milan, and Tiburtina and Ostiense stations in Rome.
