Luggage Rules, Extra Stops, and Special Requests
Book a larger vehicle if you carry 3+ suitcases or bulky gear; this keeps luggage handling smooth at the drop and speeds the entrance process for a calm arrival, letting you enjoy the beauty of Zurich.
Typically, private sedans fit 1 large suitcase and 1 carry-on per passenger; larger vehicles handle 4–5 suitcases plus bags. For bulky items like strollers or child gear, request a van in advance to avoid extra costs and ensure safe drop at the entrance for travelers visiting the city center.
To add an extra stop, specify it at the time of booking; most operators quote a per-stop charge of around 30–60 CHF and allocate 10–20 minutes per stop, depending on traffic and distance from the center. If the stop is for a breathtaking view or a symbolic site, plan it within your time window to keep the overall schedule smooth. For example, a stop on the way to the center can be part of visiting a history site or a quick photo at a viewpoint, which adds an adventure without delaying the main transfer.
Early pickups require confirmation and may incur a small surcharge; provide precise entrance location at Zurich Airport to avoid delays. For families, request a child seat; for travelers with accessibility needs, note specifics. If a flight is delayed, update the driver; this has happened before to help avoid idle charges. For business travelers, consider a round-trip option; it often reduces costs when you book both legs together–making it easier to reach the center on time. If you want a relaxing ride after an adventure, the calm car interior helps you unwind before your next appointment. Always share the entrance details and the flight number; this reference is the источник of accurate timing. For larger groups, a minivan offers more space and keeps costs fair while ensuring everyone sits comfortably on the return trip.
