Drive time

Freiburg im Breisgau is a German university city on the edge of the Black Forest, and it is a faster run than its distance suggests because almost all of it is German motorway with no speed limit on long stretches. The published drive time reflects the road, not an optimistic assumption about it.

Most of what we carry here is academic and medical — the university hospital, conferences, and the pharmaceutical corridor that runs on from Basel.

The road

The A1 and A2 to Basel, across the border, then the A5 north up the Rhine plain. The Basel crossing is the only meaningful variable and it is a peak-hour one.

Winter on this route

A plain route with no altitude on it. Rhine valley fog is the winter factor; the Black Forest roads above the city are a different journey and are quoted separately.

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

Is Basel a better arrival airport for Freiburg?

Frequently, yes, and the desk will quote both. Where the inbound only lands at Zurich the question is moot.

Are German motorway charges included?

There is no car vignette on German motorways. Every charge the route does incur — Swiss vignette, tolls, parking — is inside the fare.

Can you continue into the Black Forest?

Yes, quoted by hand. The mountain roads are slower than the plain and are priced as their own journey.
