Zurich Airport to Innsbruck

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

Innsbruck is reached across the Arlberg, and this route carries two road charges rather than one: the Austrian motorway vignette, and the Arlberg road tunnel toll, which is charged separately from it. Both are on the car before it leaves and both are inside the fare.

It is a Tyrolean capital with a university, a congress centre and a ski calendar, and the traffic reflects all three. The Inn valley is a corridor rather than a destination — a great deal of European freight uses it — and that is felt on the approach.

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

The road

The A1 and A13 into Vorarlberg, the A14 up the Klostertal, then the S16 over the Arlberg and through the Arlberg road tunnel into the Tyrol and down the Inn valley. The alternative through Germany via Lindau and Garmisch exists and is used when the Arlberg is closed.

Winter on this route

The Arlberg tunnel is weather-independent, which is what makes this a dependable winter route despite the altitude on either side of it. The approaches are alpine and take snow. SUV class from December, winter tyres from October.

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

Are the Austrian vignette and the Arlberg tunnel toll included?

Yes, both. They are separate charges and both are inside the published fare.

What happens if the Arlberg is closed?

The route goes through Germany via Lindau and Garmisch. It is longer and the fare does not change.

Can you continue to Kitzbühel, Sölden or the Tyrolean resorts?

Yes, but they are not on the published table — they are long-haul or multi-driver runs and are quoted per route rather than off the kilometre tariff.
