Express Transfer GmbH · First Class Service

Switzerland's VIP Airport
Transfer Standard

A VIP airport transfer in Switzerland begins before your guest lands. Your driver is positioned in the arrivals hall with a professional name sign before the flight touches down. The flight has been tracked in real time since departure. 60 minutes of free waiting is included from landing. Luggage is handled from the belt without instruction. The First Class vehicle is waiting outside.

The First Class fleet at Express Transfer uses the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series. These are the vehicles appropriate for board-level guests, senior investors, heads of state delegations, and high-profile client arrivals where the standard of the vehicle is itself part of the welcome. The rear cabin is long-wheelbase, the materials are premium, and the ride quality distinguishes these vehicles from every other class on the road.

VIP transfers operate from all three Swiss international airports: Zurich Airport (ZRH), Geneva Airport (GVA), and Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (BSL/EAP). Every destination in Switzerland is reachable. Fixed fare confirmed at booking. No variables, no meters, no surprises. For corporate VIP client arrival management, see our corporate chauffeur services page.

First Class Vehicle as Standard

Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series on every VIP booking. No upgrade required, no surcharge. This is the class.

Professional Name Sign in Arrivals

Your guest's driver is in the arrivals hall, composed, before the flight lands. The name sign is held, not waved. The greeting is discreet and professional.

Fixed Fare, No Variables

The amount shown at booking is the amount paid. Flight delays, traffic, or any other variable change nothing.

Managed on Your Behalf

Book for your client, provide flight details, and receive confirmation when the transfer completes. You manage nothing on the day.

Who Books First Class

VIP Transfer
Use Cases

The First Class transfer is the appropriate choice whenever the vehicle is part of the message.

Board-Level and C-Suite Arrivals

CEOs, CFOs, and board members arriving at ZRH for meetings at Swiss headquarters, supervisory board sessions, or investor relations programmes. The vehicle standard reflects the guest's seniority. A Business Sedan is appropriate for the majority of corporate travel. A First Class vehicle communicates something different when it matters.

Senior Investor and Client Arrivals

Private banks, asset managers, and corporate finance teams receiving senior clients or significant investors at ZRH or GVA. The First Class vehicle from the arrivals hall to the private banking office, hotel, or Paradeplatz meeting is the first element of the client experience on Swiss soil. It is noticed.

Diplomatic and Government VIP

Ministers, ambassadors, and senior diplomatic officials arriving at ZRH or GVA for bilateral meetings, international organisation sessions, or state visits. First Class transfers for individual officials. Business Van for small delegations. See our corporate chauffeur page for delegation management.

Art Basel VIP and Collector Arrivals

Major collectors, gallery directors, and art world VIPs arriving at ZRH or BSL for Art Basel in June. A First Class transfer from BSL directly to the collector's Basel hotel, or from ZRH with a private viewing appointment in the afternoon. The collector arrives composed, not navigating transport.

WEF and Davos Transfers

World Economic Forum participants arriving at ZRH for transfer to Davos. The 2-hour journey through the Graubunden Alps in a First Class vehicle is an appropriate transition for the level of the event. Book well in advance for WEF week as First Class availability tightens significantly in January.

Luxury Hotel Arrivals

Guests arriving at ZRH for stays at the Dolder Grand, Baur au Lac, The Widder, or other top-tier Zurich properties where the arrival experience is part of the hospitality. A First Class vehicle from the arrivals hall to the hotel entrance sets the standard before the lobby. See our Zurich hotel transfer page.

Frequently Asked Questions

VIP Airport Transfer
FAQs

More answers on our FAQ page or contact us directly.

What vehicle is used for VIP airport transfers?

First Class transfers use the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series. Both offer long-wheelbase rear cabins with premium leather, polished wood trim, and a ride quality that distinguishes them from every other class. Up to 2 passengers and 2 suitcases. See our fleet page.

Which airports are covered for VIP transfers?

All three Swiss international airports: Zurich Airport (ZRH), Geneva Airport (GVA), and Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (BSL/EAP). The same First Class standard and Meet and Greet service applies at all three airports, 24 hours a day.

Can I book a VIP transfer for a client without being present?

Yes. Provide your client's flight details and destination when booking. Your driver meets the client in arrivals with a name sign, handles their luggage, and delivers them to their hotel or address. You receive confirmation when the transfer completes. The client's experience is professional from landing.

Is the fare fixed for VIP transfers?

Yes. The fare is confirmed at booking and does not change. Flight delays, traffic, or any other variable make no difference. The amount shown at booking is the amount paid. No surprises on the invoice.

How far in advance should VIP transfers be booked?

For standard dates, 24 to 48 hours in advance is generally sufficient. For WEF week in Davos, Art Basel, and major Swiss conference periods, several weeks in advance is strongly recommended. First Class vehicle availability tightens significantly during these periods.

Is VIP transfer available for city-to-city routes as well as airports?

Yes. First Class is available for any Swiss route including Zurich to Geneva, Zurich to Davos, ZRH to St. Moritz, and all city-to-city and resort transfers. See our destinations page for all routes.
