Private Chauffeur in Zurich — Switzerland's Financial Capital

Zurich is Switzerland's largest city and the country's undisputed financial capital — home to UBS, Swiss Re, Zurich Insurance, Julius Bär, and the Swiss stock exchange (SIX Swiss Exchange). The city's Bahnhofstrasse is consistently ranked among the world's most expensive and exclusive shopping streets. Its old town (Altstadt) and lake-facing hotel district — the Zurichsee promenade — provide a concentration of five-star hotels that rivals Geneva for the corporate and diplomatic traveller. Zurich Kloten Airport is Switzerland's primary international gateway, 12 kilometres from the city centre and the closest major international airport to Davos — the venue for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting each January.

The World Economic Forum transforms Zurich's transport environment each January: private jets fill ZRH and nearby Samedan and Dübendorf airports; political leaders and corporate executives move in security motorcades and pre-arranged private vehicles; and the 150-kilometre mountain road to Davos becomes one of the most intensely managed ground transport corridors in Europe. Outside WEF, Zurich's year-round calendar of private banking events, investment industry meetings, art market occasions, and cultural events generates consistent high-end chauffeur demand from clients who expect the highest standard as a baseline.

Blackcars Zurich is part of the Blackcars European network, connecting Zurich to Geneva (approximately 2 hours 45 minutes), Bern (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes), Basel (approximately 1 hour), Munich (approximately 2 hours 30 minutes), Milan (approximately 3 hours 30 minutes), and all European destinations.

WEF Davos — World Economic Forum (January)

The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos is the most concentrated gathering of heads of state, government ministers, central bank governors, Fortune 500 CEOs, and senior international organisation officials in the world. Approximately 3,000 leaders from 130 countries descend on Davos-Klosters for five days each January — and virtually all of them arrive via Zurich Airport or Geneva Airport. Zurich is the closer option: 153 kilometres from Davos, approximately 2 hours by private chauffeur via the A3 motorway and the mountain approach through Landquart and Küblis.

During WEF week (2026: 19–23 January), Zurich Airport becomes one of the most tightly controlled aviation environments in Europe, with NOTAMs restricting general aviation movements and the ground transport network from Zurich to Davos operating under enormous pressure. Ordinary ground transport — taxis, car hire — is effectively unavailable at useful notice during WEF week; security protocols may also restrict vehicle movement on certain mountain road sections. A professionally coordinated private chauffeur with WEF mountain road experience, a confirmed vehicle, and a driver who knows the Davos approach routes is the only reliable transport solution for this journey in January. We recommend booking WEF transport at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance.

Private Banking & Financial Sector Transport

Zurich's financial district — centred on Paradeplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, and the Zurich Hauptbahnhof banking quarter — is home to some of the world's most prestigious private banking and asset management institutions. The discretion, punctuality, and presentation standards expected by private banking clients and their guests set Zurich apart from other European financial centres. We provide exclusively allocated, fully discreet chauffeur services for private banking occasions — client arrivals for portfolio reviews, bilateral financial meetings, trust and family office appointments, and all financial sector events in Zurich — with Ultra Luxury fleet for the city's most discerning clients.

Art Basel Zurich & Art Market Events

Zurich is a significant node in the international art market calendar. Art Zurich and Zurich Art Weekend draw collectors, gallery directors, and museum trustees to the city each spring. The wider Swiss art market calendar connects Zurich to Geneva and Basel — home of Art Basel, the world's most prestigious art fair — with a consistent flow of private collector transport, gallery opening evenings, and auction preview events at Christie's and Sotheby's Geneva offices. We provide evening chauffeur and fleet coordination for all art market events in Zurich and for Zurich-Geneva art market programmes.

Personalised Dispatch & Fleet Operations — From One Car to Tens of Vehicles

Blackcars operates a personalised dispatch service capable of managing transport operations of any scale from a single point of contact.
