Zurich Airport Private Transfer
Land at Zurich Airport and travel straight to your destination, in the city or anywhere in Switzerland, without changing trains or moving luggage between platforms. Your driver meets you in the arrivals area, we follow your flight live and adjust the pickup time at no extra charge if it is delayed, and your fixed CHF price is set when you book. Available 24/7 by phone or WhatsApp.
Private transfer from Zurich Airport to your destination
Zurich Airport is Switzerland's main international gateway, and for many travelers it is only the first stop. Some head to a hotel in the city; many continue to another Swiss city, a mountain resort or across the border. A private transfer replaces the train change, the luggage trolley on the platform and the search for a taxi with one vehicle that takes you from the terminal to the door.
Booking works in three steps. You share your flight, your final address and the number of passengers and bags, by phone, WhatsApp or online. We reply with the vehicle, the meeting point and a fixed CHF price. After landing, your driver takes you the whole way, whether to a Zurich hotel or an address in another canton.
When a private transfer from ZRH makes sense
A private transfer from Zurich Airport is most useful when your journey continues beyond the city, or when timing and luggage matter.
- Zurich city hotels and residences
- Lucerne, Zug, Basel and Bern
- Davos for WEF and conferences
- Geneva and Lugano by road
- Milan and Como across the border
Meeting your driver at Zurich Airport
Meet & Greet starts in the public arrivals area, after you have collected your luggage and passed through customs. We confirm the exact meeting point in writing before you travel.
Once you land, a short WhatsApp message from the baggage hall tells your driver you are on your way. Booking for a colleague or guest? Send us their name and mobile number, and the driver will be in touch with them on the day. A name sign is available on request.
Arriving by private jet? Pickup at Zurich Airport's General Aviation Center can be arranged. Share the FBO or handling agent details in advance and we coordinate the handover with them. Our Zurich Airport GAC guide explains how this works during WEF week.
Meet & Greet does not include assistance airside, during transit or for passengers with reduced mobility. If you need help inside the terminal, please arrange it through your airline or the airport's own assistance service.
