Zurich to Schaffhausen Transfer

The Zurich to Schaffhausen transfer takes you to the Rhine and a town with one of the finest old towns in Switzerland. The round Munot fortress rises above houses with painted oriel windows. A few minutes away, the Rhine plunges over the Rhine Falls at Neuhausen, the largest waterfall in Europe by volume.

At around 49 km from Zurich Airport, you are in Schaffhausen in about 40 minutes. We drive business travellers to the town's industrial and watch companies, including IWC, and guests visiting the Rhine Falls or Stein am Rhein.

Why choose a private transfer from Zurich Airport to Schaffhausen?

By train, the journey from the airport to Schaffhausen usually involves a change at Bülach or Zurich. With luggage or a destination at the Rhine Falls, in Neuhausen or in Stein am Rhein, a direct car is simpler. Our private transfer from Zurich Airport to Schaffhausen offers you:

• To the Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein: Neuhausen, Laufen Castle and the old town of Stein am Rhein
• Across the border too: towns in the German border area such as Singen or Jestetten on request
• 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 north via Bülach and Eglisau towards the Rhine
4. Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Schaffhausen

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

Return: From Schaffhausen to Zurich Airport

For a 07:00 flight we pick you up in Schaffhausen at around 04:00. On the route via Eglisau the road passes through villages, so we add a small reserve in the morning. 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.
