A local company
Best Taxi Service is based in Winterthur, about 20 minutes from Zurich Airport. We drive the airport routes every day and know the terminals, the parking garages and the fastest way into the city at every time of day.
Group transfers and the large taxi van
From four passengers on, a sedan gets tight and two taxis cost twice as much. For groups we send the Mercedes V-Class: six seats and a separate luggage area for suitcases, ski bags, a pushchair or golf bags. The van costs exactly CHF 10 more than the sedan on every route – for the whole vehicle, not per person. At Zurich Airport that is the difference between everyone travelling together and hunting for two cars at the taxi rank.
For company events, club outings, weddings and family trips we arrange a group transfer with several vehicles that leave together and arrive together. More about the vehicle and the prices on the large taxi van page.
Frequently asked questions
Is a pre-booked taxi more expensive than the taxi rank?
Taxis at the rank run on the meter, so the final price depends on traffic and time of day. Our price is fixed in advance, for example CHF 110 to Winterthur or CHF 170 to Zug, and it does not change on the way.
Can I book a taxi at short notice?
Yes, call or WhatsApp us at +41 79 748 07 86. We are available 24 hours a day. For early-morning flights we recommend booking the day before.
Can I book from abroad before my trip?
Yes. Most of our international guests book by WhatsApp or e-mail before they travel. Send us your flight number, arrival time, destination and number of passengers, and we confirm the fixed price in writing. We reply in English and German.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We follow your flight number live and adjust the pickup time to the actual landing. You get 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing, and there is no charge for delays.
Where do I meet the driver at Zurich Airport?
In the arrivals hall after customs. Your chauffeur holds a sign with your name, helps with your luggage and takes you to the car.
How do I pay?
In cash, by credit card, or by invoice for companies. The price is fixed in advance and does not change on the way.
