Train or driver

Two options compared honestly

There is no direct train between Strasbourg and Zurich. Here is how the journey actually works by train.

For a single traveller with little luggage, during the day, to the centre of Zurich, the train remains cheaper. The driver makes sense for early morning flights or late evening returns, families, groups, heavy luggage and business appointments with a same-day return.

Morning flight

7 am flight to Zurich: leave Strasbourg around 2.15 am

For a 7 am flight to Zurich-Kloten, you need to be at the terminal around 5 am. Departure from Strasbourg is therefore around 2.15 to 2.30 am, to absorb the drive and keep a margin.

No train allows this timing: the first departure from Strasbourg is around 5.20 am. This is one of the cases where the driver makes the most sense, along with late evening returns, families, groups and heavy 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
Daniel Steinborn
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 !
Carole
