Zurich to Olten Transfer

The Zurich to Olten transfer takes you to the town regarded as the hub of the Swiss rail network. Olten lies on the river Aare between Zurich, Basel, Bern and Lucerne. The old town with its covered wooden bridge is small and easy to explore on foot, and the Olten art museum is only a short walk away.

At around 67 km from Zurich Airport, you are in Olten in just under an hour. We mainly drive business travellers to companies in Olten, Aarburg, Oftringen and the Gäu region, and guests visiting family in the area.

Why choose a private transfer from Zurich Airport to Olten?

Precisely because Olten is a rail hub, many people take the train. But if your meeting is in Oftringen, Egerkingen or one of the logistics centres in the Gäu, you need another connection from Olten anyway. A direct car takes you straight to the address. Our private transfer from Zurich Airport to Olten offers you:

• To companies in the region: Oftringen, Aarburg, Egerkingen, Härkingen and the logistics sites in the Gäu
• No changes: from the terminal straight to your address, even away from the station
• Flight tracking: your driver adjusts to delays at no extra cost
• Fixed price: agreed before you get in, handy for expense claims
• Available around the clock: early departures and late arrivals alike

For groups of more than 6 people we arrange coordinated group transfers with several vehicles.

How the airport pick-up works

Your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall at Zurich Airport with a name sign. Your flight is tracked in real time, a delayed landing costs you nothing and you do not need to call when you land. The process:

1. Arrive at ZRH Terminal 1 or 2 and collect your luggage
2. Walk to the arrivals hall, where your driver waits with your name
3. Luggage loaded, departure via the A51 and the A1 towards Bern
4. Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Olten

The same process applies to our entire Zurich airport transfer service to every destination.

Return: From Olten to Zurich Airport

For a 07:00 flight we pick you up in Olten at around 03:45. At peak times we allow more time for the stretch between Aarau and the Limmat valley, because the A1 is very busy there. We plan the pick-up so that you reach the terminal about two hours before departure.

• The same fixed price in both directions: the return costs the same as the outward trip
• No night surcharge: a 03:00 pick-up is charged at the normal rate
• Luggage loaded at your door: no platform, no second taxi
• Flight changes absorbed: tell us the new departure time and the pick-up moves with it

Book both directions together and the vehicle is also reserved for your departure date. For regular or recurring trips, contact us directly.

The route: Zurich Airport to Olten

The drive takes the A51 onto the A1, through the Gubrist tunnel and the Limmat valley, past Baden and Aarau into the Olten area. The drive usually takes 55 to 75 minutes. Between Zurich and Bern the A1 is one of the busiest motorways in Switzerland, so we plan the departure time accordingly.

In Olten the station, the wooden bridge and the old town are right on the Aare. More about the town is available from Olten Tourism.

We also serve all other routes from Zurich Airport. See the full city transfer overview, including Aarau, Solothurn and Lucerne.
