Zürich and Munich are around 315 kilometres apart, a drive of roughly 4h15 that crosses two borders. A private transfer gives you one continuous journey instead of a train with connections.
The usual route runs east on the A1 past Winterthur and St. Gallen to the Rhine valley, crosses into Austria near Lake Constance and Bregenz, then continues into Germany towards Lindau and the A96 to Munich. Lake Constance and the Allgäu foothills make up most of the scenery.
Because the route passes through Austria, the road tolls and vignette requirements are handled by your chauffeur. Please carry valid passports or ID cards for everyone in the car for the Swiss, Austrian and German crossings.
At roughly the midpoint, a stop can be arranged for lunch or a break, for example on the lake shore. After that, the A96 is a fast, well-maintained motorway into the Munich area.
The drop-off can be a hotel in the Altstadt, the exhibition grounds in Munich-Riem, or Munich Airport. For business trips, the car allows calls and document work for most of the trip, with a door-to-door arrival.
