Blackcars Zurich Airport Transfer — ZRH Private Transfer Service

Private transfer and chauffeur service from Zurich Airport Kloten (ZRH) to all Zurich destinations and beyond — city centre, Paradeplatz, Davos (WEF), Lucerne, Basel, Bern, Geneva, St. Moritz, Verbier, Gstaad, Milan, and all Swiss and European destinations. Terminal A, Terminal B/D, and Terminal E (satellite). Flight tracking included. Meet and greet in the arrivals hall.

Zurich Airport Kloten (ZRH) — Switzerland's International Gateway

Zurich Airport Kloten (IATA: ZRH) is Switzerland's largest and busiest airport, handling approximately 31 million passengers annually. Located approximately 12 kilometres north of Zurich city centre in the municipality of Kloten, it is the primary hub for SWISS International Air Lines and a key Lufthansa Group hub, connecting Zurich to over 190 destinations across six continents. For WEF delegates, it is the nearest major international airport to Davos — 153 kilometres away, approximately 2 hours by private chauffeur through the Swiss Alps.

The airport operates three terminal areas. Terminal A handles Schengen-area flights. Terminal B/D handles both Schengen and non-Schengen flights from the same gate area — the gate prefix (B for Schengen, D for non-Schengen) determines the immigration pathway, not the physical terminal. Terminal E is a satellite building connected to the main terminal by an automated transit tram and handles overflow and specific airline operations. The airport's train station is directly beneath the terminal complex — the Zurich Airport railway station serves both suburban and long-distance trains, including a direct express to Zurich Hauptbahnhof in approximately 10 minutes. For professional travellers with luggage, diplomatic clients, and any journey beyond central Zurich, private chauffeur provides door-to-door delivery that the train cannot match.

How It Works

  • Flight tracking — your driver monitors your flight from departure, adjusting to your actual landing at no extra charge
  • Meet and greet — your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts you to the vehicle
  • Terminal precision — specify your terminal (A, B/D, or E) when booking. If your terminal changes, your driver relocates at no extra cost
  • Fixed price confirmed in advance — no meter, no surge, no WEF week multipliers
  • Door to door — direct to your Zurich hotel, Davos chalet, Swiss lake villa, or European destination

WEF Week — Special Note on Zurich to Davos Transfers

During the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting (2026: 19–23 January), the road from Zurich to Davos via Landquart and Küblis operates under active security management. Swiss police escort routes for heads of state and senior government delegations may cause temporary road closures on the mountain approach sections. Weather in January in the Graubünden Alps is inherently variable — snow, ice, and reduced visibility are routine. Your driver must know the mountain route, the winter tyre regulations, and the real-time security situation. We provide WEF-specific ground transport with drivers who regularly make this journey in January conditions and are familiar with the operational environment of the Forum week. Book a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
