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:
- Arrive at ZRH Terminal 1 or 2 and collect your luggage
- Walk to the arrivals hall, where your driver waits with your name
- Luggage loaded, departure on the A1 towards Bern and onto the A6 from Bern
- Arrive at your hotel, office or private address in Thun
The same process applies to our entire Zurich airport transfer service to every destination.
Return: From Thun to Zurich Airport
For a 09:00 flight we pick you up in Thun at around 04:45. For pick-ups on the right shore of the lake in Oberhofen or Gunten we include the extra driving time along the lake. 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.
