Airport Transfer Zurich Basel

If you land at Zurich Airport (ZRH) and want to travel on to Basel without any detours, our private transfer Zurich Basel is the ideal choice. We pick you up directly at Terminal 1 or 2, stow your luggage and take you to your destination address without changing vehicles – whether a hotel at Barfüsserplatz, a private address in Gundeli or a company headquarters in Basel-Stadt. Our comprehensive airport transfer from Zurich Airport forms the basis for every journey on this route and ensures that you arrive relaxed and on time after a long flight.

Thanks to flight tracking, we automatically adjust the pick-up time to your actual landing. If your flight is delayed, the chauffeur waits at no extra charge within the included waiting time. This means no stress at the baggage carousel and no worry about a missed connection.

Railway Station Transfer Zurich Basel

You are also in good hands with us between railway stations. We pick you up at Zurich Hauptbahnhof and take you to Basel SBB or Basel Bad Bf – or the other way round, if your onward train departs from Basel. Especially with tight connection times, heavy luggage or a travel group, a dedicated chauffeur is considerably more pleasant than dragging suitcases across several platforms.

The chauffeur awaits you at the agreed meeting point in front of the station and helps you stow your luggage. Your journey thus runs seamlessly from platform to door, entirely without waiting at the taxi rank.

Limousine Service Zurich Basel

Our limousine service turns the connection between the two cities into a comfortable private journey in a Mercedes. Anyone who regularly commutes between Zurich and Basel or wishes to make a prestigious impression will find the right solution in the limousine service from Zurich with chauffeur – from a discreet business meeting to an evening event. Three vehicle classes are available to you for the roughly one-hour journey.

Business E-Class – Transfer Zurich Basel

The Mercedes E-Class is our most frequently chosen class for up to three passengers. It offers plenty of legroom, smooth ride comfort and ample boot space for travel luggage – ideal for business travellers and couples journeying between Zurich and Basel.

First Class S-Class – Transfer Zurich Basel

For the highest demands, you travel in the Mercedes S-Class. The First Class offers up to three guests first-rate seating comfort, greater calm and a prestigious presence – the right choice for important appointments at the Basel pharmaceutical companies or an exclusive event.

Business Van for up to 7 passengers – Transfer Zurich Basel

If you are travelling as a group or with a lot of luggage, the Mercedes V-Class is the right choice. When you book the Mercedes V-Class with chauffeur, up to seven passengers benefit from generous space, separate seats and plenty of storage for suitcases – perfect for families, smaller teams and delegations on their way to Messe Basel.

Group Transfer Zurich Basel

For larger groups, we arrange the right coach. Whether a company outing, a club trip or an event in the Dreiländereck – we bring your entire group together and without changing vehicles from Zurich to Basel.

Minibus & Sprinter Transfer for up to 20 passengers – Zurich Basel

For medium-sized groups of up to 20 passengers, the Minibus or Sprinter is the economical solution. You can conveniently hire a bus for up to 20 passengers with driver and thus transport your team, wedding party or conference group comfortably and predictably to Basel in a single vehicle.

Coach Transfer Zurich Basel

For even larger groups, a touring coach (up to 30), a long-distance coach (up to 50) and a double-decker (up to 80 passengers) are available – each on request. If you would like to hire a touring coach with chauffeur, we are happy to prepare an individual quote for conferences, incentives or large-scale events in Basel.

How Your Transfer Zurich Basel Works

  1. Make an enquiry via the booking link: choose your vehicle and number of passengers, enter the pick-up and destination address and select your preferred payment method.
  2. You receive a reply from us with the proposed vehicle, the details of the assigned chauffeur and the invoice.
  3. The chauffeur is at your address 15 minutes before the agreed time (except at the airport, where the pick-up takes place after your call).

What Does the Transfer Zurich Basel Cost?

You travel at a fixed price rather than by the meter. You receive the price in writing before the journey – it remains unchanged regardless of traffic, waiting time or time of day. Compared with a conventional taxi, this removes any risk of a surprisingly high bill, and compared with the train you receive a direct door-to-door journey without changing and without luggage worries.

Payment is flexible: you choose between TWINT, credit card or company invoice – entirely as you require. Business clients appreciate the straightforward billing per journey or per period.

Route & Travel Time Zurich Basel

The distance between Zurich and Basel is around 90 km, with a pure travel time of about one hour. The route usually leads via the A1 heading west and then via the A3 through the Fricktal to Basel; depending on the start and destination address as well as the traffic situation, the chauffeur chooses the fastest option.

During peak times around Zurich or in the Basel area, the journey may take somewhat longer. Our chauffeurs continuously monitor the traffic situation and, if needed, build in a time buffer so that you reliably reach appointments, connections and flights.

Private Chauffeur Service Zurich Basel – exclusive, discreet & reliable

With SWIVON you travel privately and exclusively: no shared vehicle, no detour via other pick-up points. Our professional chauffeurs take you from door to door, drive with foresight and treat your appointments and conversations with absolute discretion. It is precisely this reliability that private and business clients value when they wish to concentrate on what matters during the journey.

On request, we provide you with an English-speaking chauffeur, so that international guests are also looked after without complication.

Meet & Greet, Flight Tracking & Included Waiting Time – around the clock

Standard pick-up in front of the terminal (curbside)

After passport control and baggage reclaim, you give your chauffeur a quick call. He then pulls up directly in front of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 within four to five minutes and receives you together with your luggage – fast, uncomplicated and without lengthy searching.

Meet & Greet – personal welcome with a name sign

On this longer route the personal welcome is included: your chauffeur awaits you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, helps with the luggage and accompanies you to the vehicle. Especially for first-time visitors and VIP guests, this calm, personal start is particularly pleasant.

Thanks to continuous flight tracking, we know your actual landing time and adjust the pick-up automatically. The included waiting time covers usual delays, and our service is available to you around the clock, 24/7 – including for early departures and night-time landings.

Business & Trade Fair Transfer Zurich Basel: Pharma, Art Basel & EuroAirport

Basel is a hub of the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry: appointments at Roche or Novartis can be attended far more relaxed with a reliable chauffeur. Likewise, we bring you punctually to Messe Basel – for instance to Art Basel or to industry congresses – where a dedicated transfer saves you waiting at the taxi rank. In the Dreiländereck, on the border with France and Germany, we also arrange pick-up from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL) on request, so that your journey runs seamlessly between the airports and your appointments.

Transfer Basel → Zurich: Return Journey & Pick-up in Basel

Naturally, we also travel in the opposite direction. You book the transfer Basel Zurich just as easily: we pick you up at your address in Basel – whether a city-centre hotel, Messe Basel, Basel SBB station or a company headquarters in Klybeck – and take you directly to Zurich. If you are travelling on, we drive you to Zurich Airport (ZRH) in good time for your return flight, so that you reach your departure entirely without rush. The fixed price applies here too, and on request the chauffeur awaits you on site 15 minutes before the agreed time.
