Public transport or driver

Two options compared honestly

From Basel station, public transport covers the city and part of Alsace well. Here is how the journey actually goes.

The tram remains the right choice for getting around Basel, and the TER is cheaper for Colmar during the day with little luggage. The driver makes sense for reaching a village on the Wine Route, Europa-Park or a hotel in Alsace without changing trains, for late-evening arrivals, families, groups and bulky luggage.

Delayed train

Delayed train or late arrival in Basel

Give your train number when you book: the driver follows the actual arrival time and adjusts the meeting time.

Since the pick-up point is agreed in advance, a delay does not leave you searching for a meeting point in a station you do not know. For late-evening arrivals, this is where the driver makes the most sense, with families, groups and bulky luggage.

Customer reviews

What our clients say

Hubert with Elsass VTC helped give me the most magical day in France! He was prompt, professional, informative about the area, and suggested other towns to visit based on my time schedule. Hubert made sure I arrived to reservations on time, helped find them, and gave me alloted times for each stop. AND if I was not back, he was contacting me to make sure I found my way back to the vehicle. He provided water, sanitizing wipes, and even gave me some videos and pictures as souvenirs! I not only felt like I had a Chauffeur and body gaurd for the day, but friend. I will definitely be back for another adventure! Thank you so much, Hubert & Elsass VTC ✨️

Toller Service und zu 100% verlässlich. Da wir unsere Tour selbst geplant und gebucht haben, brauchten wir einen unabhängigen Gepäckservice. Wir kamen durch die guten Bewertungen auf Elsass VTC und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Netter Kontakt, Verlässlichkeit und gute Kommunikation sind hier klar Unternehmenspolitik. Kann man nur weiterempfehlen!! Besten Dank

Excellente expérience ! Chauffeur très ponctuel, professionnel et vraiment agréable. Mon train ayant eu près d’une heure de retard, il m’a attendue à la gare avec beaucoup de patience et de gentillesse, ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié. Trajet très agréable également. Je recommande sans hésitation !
