Drive time

Bern is the federal capital and reads like one: embassies, federal offices, associations, and a calendar that runs on session weeks. Much of what we carry here is scheduled to the half hour and cannot be moved, which changes how the pickup is timed rather than how it is driven.

The road is motorway the whole way, so the risk on this route is not the mountains. It is the Bern approach and a centre largely closed to through traffic.

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

The road

The A1 west via Aarau. The old town is pedestrianised and much of the centre restricted, so the drop-off is agreed in advance rather than found on arrival — Bundesplatz, the station and the embassy quarter each have their own workable point.

Winter on this route

Open all year and cleared as a priority route. Mittelland fog in November and December is the only recurring delay, and it costs minutes rather than hours.

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

Can you drop at a federal building or an embassy?

Yes, subject to whatever access that address requires on the day. Tell the desk the destination and it will confirm the drop-off point before the journey.

Is a chauffeur worth it against the direct train?

For one traveller travelling light, the train is hard to beat. For two or more, for luggage, or when the meeting starts within an hour of landing, the car wins on certainty.

Do you cover Thun and Biel?

Yes. Neither is on the published table, so both are quoted by hand within two hours.
