Strasbourg to Zurich transfer by van

Strasbourg to Zurich transfer by van with a driver

Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, about 225 km from Strasbourg, around 2 hours 40 minutes by road via Basel. A financial centre, a university city and a gateway to the Alps, people go there for a meeting, a trade fair, an onward train to the rest of Switzerland or a holiday. This page covers the city centre and the main station (Zürich HB). If you are flying, see our Zurich airport transfer page instead. Our van takes you there in one go, with your luggage, up to 8 passengers.

The price is confirmed before departure and covers the whole vehicle, not each passenger.

Distance and journey time

From Place Kléber to Zurich main station (the arrival point we used): about 226 km, around 2 hours 40 minutes by car on the A35 then the Swiss A3 motorway, depending on traffic (OSRM road calculation). The border crossing at Basel and the approaches to Zurich can add time at rush hour. Swiss motorways require an annual vignette (CHF 40, according to the Federal Office for Customs): it is the vehicle’s responsibility, not the passenger’s, and is not part of the price shown by the simulator.

Why a van rather than the train?

There are several of you: a family, a group of friends, a team. Up to 8 passengers in one vehicle, at the same price.
You are going to a precise address: a lakeside hotel, an office, a hospital, a clinic, a home in the suburbs. The driver drops you at the door.
Your luggage is bulky: skis, bikes, long-stay suitcases, professional equipment. Nothing to carry through connections.
The timetable does not suit: leaving before the first train, returning at night, a strike. We run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You need a one-way trip: a repatriation, a small move, bringing a relative home.

What about the train?

The Strasbourg to Zurich train goes via Basel, with a change at Basel SBB between the French TER and the Swiss trains, taking about 2 hours 35 minutes to 3 hours depending on the timetable, according to SNCF Connect; Swiss-side times are on the SBB website. If you travel light, it is a good option, and the Swiss network is dense and punctual. In Zurich itself, trams and the S-Bahn serve the city well.

The van remains simpler for several people, with suitcases, or when you need to be at a precise address at a precise time.

ID: the Swiss border

Zurich is in Switzerland, outside the European Union: bring a valid ID card or passport for every passenger, children included. Checks may take place at the border, and customs rules apply to goods (alcohol, tobacco, cash, etc.): find out before you leave. The Swiss currency is the Swiss franc. Travellers from outside the European Union should bring their passport and, if needed, a visa.
