Zurich Airport to Basel

A licensed Swiss chauffeur, a fare fixed in writing before you travel, and a car that waits when the flight does not arrive on time.

Drive time

Basel is the pharmaceutical corridor, and most of what we carry here is either going to a campus north of the city or to a meeting that has to end in time for an evening flight. Both are timed journeys rather than leisurely ones.

It is worth saying plainly that Basel has its own airport. If the inbound could land at either, the desk will tell you which produces the shorter ground leg — a collection from the EuroAirport is a different quote, and often the right one.

Per vehicle, not per passenger. Every figure is computed from the published kilometre tariff and includes 8.1% VAT.

The road

The A1 west to Aarau then the A2 through the Fricktal, or the A3 along the Rhine when the Fricktal is closed for works, which it frequently is. Crossing the city into the French and German sectors adds time the motorway figure does not include.

Winter on this route

Low-lying and open all year. Rhine fog can slow the last stretch in December and January; nothing on this route closes.

What the fare includes
  • Sixty minutes of waiting after the aircraft lands, free of charge.
  • A chauffeur inside arrivals with your name, and the luggage carried to the car.
  • Flight monitoring — the pickup moves with the inbound, and the fare does not.
  • Motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette and any foreign vignette the route needs.
  • 8.1% VAT and passenger insurance.

Questions we get on this route

Should we fly into Basel instead of Zurich?

If the schedule allows it, usually yes — it removes most of the ground leg. The desk quotes both so the comparison is on paper rather than assumed.

Can a chauffeur cover a day across several Basel campuses?

Yes, and beyond two stops the hourly service is normally the cheaper structure. It also means the car holds your luggage between meetings.

Do you cross into Weil am Rhein or Saint-Louis?

Routinely. Both are minutes from the centre and neither changes the fare on a Basel booking.
