Train or driver

Two options to compare honestly

By train, the journey takes place in two stages, with no direct service. Here is how it actually works.

For a single traveller staying near Colmar station, in the middle of the day, the train remains cheaper. Door to door, allow about 2 hrs for central Zurich including the connection, a little more for the airport. The villages on the Wine Route, however, have no station.

Morning flight

7 am flight: leave Colmar around 3 am

For a 7 am flight from Zurich-Kloten, you need to be at the terminal by around 5 am. Departure from Colmar is therefore around 3 am - 3.15 am, to absorb the drive and keep a margin.

At that hour, no public transport connects Colmar to Zurich Airport. This is one of the cases where a driver is most justified, along with late-evening returns, holidaymakers staying in a Wine Route village, families, groups and heavy luggage.

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 !
