How pick‑up works at Zurich Airport

Meeting point, Arrivals 1 or 2Your chauffeur waits at the meeting point of Arrivals 1 or 2 depending on your terminal, name board in hand; flight tracking tells him your gate.
Parking and luggageThe car is in P1 or P3 at the Airport Center, a few minutes on foot; the chauffeur pushes the trolley and loads luggage and skis.
Leaving ZurichWe avoid the city centre: the A51 then the A1 or A3 take us towards Graubünden, central Switzerland, Ticino or the Oberland, bypassing Zurich to the north or west. For Schaffhausen it is the A51 then the A4 via Bülach.
Zurich‑based teamOur Zurich chauffeurs serve central Switzerland, Graubünden and Ticino all year round: they know the Gotthard queues and which passes close in winter.
