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 Zurich, a few minutes on the A51.
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.
