Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service in Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's largest city and one of Europe's leading financial, business and cultural centres. Set beside Lake Zurich and the River Limmat, the city combines a compact historic centre with international companies, museums, luxury shopping, universities and excellent transport connections to destinations across Switzerland.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Zurich for individual travellers, families, business visitors and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, private addresses, Zurich Main Station, offices, conference venues and destinations outside the city. Booking in advance is particularly useful when travelling with luggage, following a fixed business schedule or continuing directly to another Swiss city or resort.
Zurich Airport Transfers
Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland's largest airport and the principal international gateway to Zurich. It is located approximately 10 kilometres from the city centre and has excellent road and public transport connections.
A private transfer from Zurich Airport provides direct transportation to hotels and addresses throughout the city, including the Old Town, Enge, Seefeld, Oerlikon and other districts. Instead of changing between trains, trams and local transport, passengers can travel directly from the airport terminal to their final address.
Pre-booked airport transfers are particularly convenient for families, groups and passengers carrying substantial luggage. Cars, vans and larger vehicles can be arranged according to passenger and baggage requirements.
Getting from Zurich Airport to the City Centre
Zurich Airport is exceptionally well connected with central Zurich. Trains and S-Bahn services run frequently to Zurich Main Station, with typical journey times of around 10 to 15 minutes. Tram Line 10 also provides a direct connection between the airport and central Zurich.
Public transport is an excellent option for travellers with light luggage and accommodation close to a station or tram stop. A private transfer offers a door-to-door alternative, taking passengers directly to the exact hotel, residence or office without carrying luggage between services.
This can be especially useful after a long flight, for larger groups or when the final destination is outside the most convenient public transport corridor.
Getting Around Zurich
Zurich has one of Switzerland's most comprehensive public transport networks, including trams, buses, S-Bahn trains, boats, funiculars and cableways. The city centre is compact, and many attractions around the Old Town, Bahnhofstrasse and the lake can also be reached comfortably on foot.
Private transportation becomes more useful when travelling with luggage, moving between several appointments or continuing beyond Zurich itself. A pre-booked vehicle can also simplify journeys between hotels, offices, restaurants and event venues according to a fixed schedule.
Chauffeur Service in Zurich
Hourly chauffeur service is particularly suitable for Zurich's international business environment. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule for meetings, corporate appointments, restaurants, shopping or sightseeing.
Business visitors can use chauffeur service for transportation between Zurich Airport, hotels, offices and financial districts throughout the city. Leisure travellers may also prefer a private vehicle when combining several destinations around Zurich and the surrounding region.
For families, delegations and groups, vans and larger vehicles can provide coordinated transportation while keeping passengers together throughout the itinerary.
Business Transportation in Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's principal financial centre and home to banks, insurance companies, international businesses and major corporate headquarters. Business activity is concentrated in the city centre but also extends to areas such as Zurich West and Oerlikon.
A pre-booked chauffeur can help coordinate airport pickup, hotel transportation and several meetings within the same day. Instead of arranging individual rides after each appointment, the vehicle can remain available for the booked period.
Group transportation can also be arranged for conferences, corporate events and visiting delegations.
Zurich Main Station Transfers
Zurich Hauptbahnhof is Switzerland's busiest railway station and one of the country's most important transport hubs. It provides frequent national and international connections as well as direct rail services to Zurich Airport.
A private transfer can connect Zurich Main Station with hotels, offices, private addresses and regional destinations. This is particularly convenient for passengers carrying luggage, groups requiring a larger vehicle or travellers continuing to a location not directly served by rail.
Private Transfers from Zurich to Lucerne
Lucerne is one of the most popular destinations for travellers continuing from Zurich. Located beside Lake Lucerne and surrounded by mountain scenery, the city is easily reached by both rail and road.
A private transfer provides direct door-to-door transportation from Zurich Airport, a city hotel or another pickup point to accommodation in Lucerne. This can be particularly convenient for families, groups and travellers carrying substantial luggage.
Private transportation can also continue beyond Lucerne to regional hotels and mountain destinations according to operational availability.
Transfers to Basel and Bern
Zurich's central position and motorway network make it a practical starting point for private transfers to other major Swiss cities. Basel, near the borders with France and Germany, and Bern, the Swiss federal city, are both accessible by road from Zurich.
A private transfer can be useful when the final destination is a hotel, office or private address away from a railway station, or when passengers prefer to travel directly from Zurich Airport without changing transport.
Transfers to Swiss Alpine Resorts
Zurich Airport is an important gateway for travellers heading to Swiss mountain destinations. Its own railway station offers excellent connections across the country, while private transfers provide direct transportation to resorts and accommodation that may require several public transport changes.
A private vehicle can be especially convenient for families, groups, passengers with ski equipment or travellers arriving late in the day. Depending on operational availability, transfers can be arranged to Alpine destinations throughout central and eastern Switzerland and beyond.
For more complex itineraries or several resort stops, a chauffeur or multi-stop arrangement may provide additional flexibility.
Long-Distance Transfers from Zurich
WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers from Zurich to destinations across Switzerland and, according to operational availability, neighbouring countries. Passengers can be collected from Zurich Airport, a hotel, railway station or private address and taken directly to the final destination.
Private long-distance transportation can be especially useful for families, business travellers and groups who prefer not to manage several rail connections with luggage. It can also provide greater flexibility over departure time when travelling to destinations outside the main railway network.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Taxis are readily available in Zurich and are suitable for many short urban journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more useful when transportation needs to be confirmed before arrival, a specific vehicle size is required or the journey continues beyond the city.
Airport passengers can arrange their pickup and destination in advance, while groups can reserve a suitable vehicle according to passenger and luggage requirements. For regional and long-distance journeys, the complete route can be organised beforehand rather than requested from a local taxi after pickup.
International visitors may also prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, particularly for business travel and longer journeys across Switzerland.
Useful Travel Information for Zurich
Zurich Airport is approximately 10 kilometres from the city centre. Trains run frequently between the airport and Zurich Main Station, with typical journey times of around 10 to 15 minutes, making public transport one of the fastest options for many travellers.
Zurich's integrated public transport system makes it easy to travel by tram, bus, train and boat throughout the city and surrounding region. Private transfers are most valuable when door-to-door convenience, luggage capacity, timing or onward regional travel is important.
When booking transportation, provide accurate flight or train information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the complete destination address so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
