Zurich to Rapperswil-Jona Transfer

The Zurich to Rapperswil-Jona transfer takes you to the upper end of Lake Zurich. Rapperswil is called the city of roses because of its rose gardens. Rapperswil Castle stands above the old town, and the wooden footbridge to Hurden, more than 800 metres long, is the longest wooden bridge in Switzerland.

At around 65 km from Zurich Airport, you are at the lake in about 45 minutes. We drive guests to the OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, to companies in Jona and Rapperswil, to Knie's children's zoo and to the hotels on the lakeshore.

Why choose a private transfer from Zurich Airport to Rapperswil-Jona?

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 on the motorway towards the Zurich Oberland and the lake
4. Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Rapperswil-Jona

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

Return: From Rapperswil-Jona to Zurich Airport

For a 07:00 flight we pick you up in Rapperswil at around 04:00. In the late afternoon the roads by the lake and in the Oberland are busier, so we allow more driving time then. 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.
