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.
Konstanz is a German city that behaves like a Swiss suburb: the border runs through the built-up area at Kreuzlingen, and the crossing is the only part of the journey that can genuinely surprise you.
It is a Schengen internal border, so there is normally nothing to do but drive through it. Normally is not always — spot checks happen, and they happen most on a Friday evening and a Sunday. Everyone in the car should have a passport reachable rather than packed.

| Premium | CHF 643.20 |
| SUV | CHF 643.20 |
| Van | CHF 551.31 |
| Electric | CHF 551.31 |
Per vehicle, not per passenger. Every figure is computed from the published kilometre tariff and includes 8.1% VAT.
The A1 east then north through the Thurgau to Kreuzlingen, and across into Konstanz. A second crossing at Emmishofen is used when the main one is backed up.
A lowland route with no alpine exposure. Winter fog off the Bodensee is the one seasonal factor, and it is dense enough often enough that November and February pickups are timed with a margin rather than to the minute.
A valid passport or ID for every passenger. The vehicle paperwork is the operator’s problem, not yours, and a licensed Swiss operator crosses this border daily.
No. The published fare covers the route as it stands, including any road charge it involves. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes, though neither is on the published table — both are quoted by hand, usually within two hours.
