Rapperswil-Jona for visitors
The castle above the old town, the wooden pedestrian bridge to Hurden and the boats on Lake Zurich make Rapperswil a popular first stop for guests flying into Switzerland. Arriving by car with your luggage saves the change of trains at Zurich main station, and the same fixed price applies for the ride back to the airport when you leave. For a day out we can also collect you from a Zurich hotel, wait in Rapperswil and drive you on to Einsiedeln.
| Route | Sedan (up to 3) | Van (up to 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Zurich Airport → Rapperswil | CHF 210.- | CHF 220.- |
| Rapperswil → Zurich Airport | CHF 210.- | CHF 220.- |
Fixed prices per ride, including luggage and night, weekend and holiday surcharges.

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.
