Travel Concierge in Switzerland: One Contact for Every Transfer
Published on Updated on 12 min read
A travel concierge in Switzerland takes the logistics of your trip off your hands, so you deal with one contact instead of several drivers, dispatchers and timetables. At SWISSTRIP, the concierge service is built around ground transport: airport and private-jet pickups, hotel and resort transfers, a chauffeur at your disposal and the coordination of helicopter transfers with partners. We are based in Wetzikon near Zurich, have been in the chauffeur business for around 15 years and are reachable 24/7.

What a travel concierge in Switzerland covers, and what it does not
“Concierge” can mean anything from a hotel desk to a lifestyle membership. Our travel concierge concentrates on what we control directly: vehicles, chauffeurs, timings and the hand-overs between them. In practice that means:
- planning the complete ground itinerary from landing to departure, including multi-stop days;
- matching vehicles to the number of passengers and the amount of luggage, including ski bags and prams;
- tracking flights and moving pickup times when arrivals change;
- coordinating hand-overs with private-jet terminals, helicopter operators, hotels and event organizers;
- a single point of contact via WhatsApp or email, around the clock.
We do not promise reservations at hotels, restaurants or events, nor access to fully booked venues. If you already hold those bookings, whether through your hotel concierge or directly, we plan the drives around them so you arrive on time and are collected when you are ready.
Airport arrivals: Meet & Greet and VIP assistance
SWISSTRIP airport transfers include Meet & Greet. Your chauffeur waits in the arrival hall with a name sign, helps with your luggage and walks you to the car. Because we track your flight, a delay simply moves the pickup time, and the first 60 minutes of waiting are complimentary. The process is explained step by step in our guide to Meet & Greet at Zurich Airport.
If you want fast-track handling inside the terminal, Zurich Airport runs its own VIP Service (page in German), open to passengers regardless of airline or booking class. According to the airport, it includes priority security and passport control, a personal attendant, the VIP Lounge and a transfer by luxury vehicle between the aircraft and the lounge; arriving guests are then escorted to their chauffeur or chosen pickup point. That service is booked with the airport, not with us. SWISSTRIP takes over for the onward drive, and we agree the hand-over point in advance so there is no gap between the two.
Private jet and helicopter connections
For private aviation, our chauffeur can meet you ramp-side at the FBO when the handling agent and the airport authorize vehicle access; otherwise we wait at the private-jet or general aviation terminal. Share your expected arrival time and the handling agent's details with us early, as access is arranged in advance. More on this in our article on private-jet pickups at Zurich and Geneva FBOs.
Where a mountain destination is better reached by air, we coordinate the helicopter transfer with partner operators and time the ground legs at both ends, for example between the airport, the helicopter departure point and your hotel or chalet. Our guide to helicopter transfers in Switzerland explains how these combined journeys work.
Hotel, ski resort and spa transfers
Most concierge requests end at a hotel door. We drive to hotels, ski resorts and spas across Switzerland, Austria, France and Italy, from city hotels in Zurich and Geneva to Alpine chalets. For ski trips, the V 250 AMG can tow a luggage trailer, which keeps skis, boot bags and suitcases out of the passenger cabin. Child seats are free on request, and pets are welcome on board.
Tell us about any arrival details at your accommodation, such as a separate entrance, a late check-in or a chalet without direct road access, and we plan the last stretch accordingly. Our page on hotel transfers in Switzerland and across Europe has more on typical routes.
A chauffeur at your disposal
Instead of booking separate rides, you can keep a chauffeur and vehicle at your disposal for as long as your program requires. That suits back-to-back meetings in Zurich, shopping and sightseeing, or a day trip to Lucerne or the mountains, with the car waiting nearby while you are inside. Plans can change during the day; you tell the chauffeur, and the route adapts.
Our chauffeurs are security-trained and multilingual. If your situation calls for close protection, we arrange it through licensed partners rather than providing it ourselves.
Business delegations and events
For companies, delegations and event organizers, the concierge role becomes a coordination task: arrivals spread across several airports and times, guests who need to reach the same venue at the same moment, and changes at short notice. SWISSTRIP has worked at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and with delegations, combining sedans for principals with V-Class vans, Sprinters and coaches for the wider group. Companies receive VAT-compliant invoices.

Can SWISSTRIP arrange fast-track through security and passport control at Zurich Airport?
Priority security and passport control are part of Zurich Airport's own VIP Service, which is booked with the airport, not with SWISSTRIP. Our Meet & Greet takes place in the arrival hall, or we collect you at a hand-over point agreed in advance after the airport's VIP Service.

No prepayment is required. You pay by bank transfer, in cash, by Visa/Mastercard or TWINT in the vehicle, and companies receive VAT-compliant invoices.
Can a chauffeur pick us up directly at a private jet?
Yes, ramp-side pickups at the FBO are possible when the handling agent and the airport authorize vehicle access. Otherwise your chauffeur waits for you at the private-jet or general aviation terminal.
What happens if my flight to Zurich or Geneva is delayed?
We track your flight and adjust the pickup time accordingly. The first 60 minutes of waiting time are complimentary.
Does SWISSTRIP guarantee restaurant or event reservations?
No. Our travel concierge focuses on transport and timing, and we do not guarantee reservations at restaurants, hotels or events. If you already hold bookings, we plan the drives around them so you arrive on time.
