Was not a good stsrt to our family vacation.

Carole_W, Aug 2025
Had to wait over an hour kept calling until someone finally showed up. We had to meet in street no sign. He said he was called last minute to replace another driver.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Carole, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your transfer. After reviewing your booking, we noted that your flight arrived about 20 minutes earlier than scheduled. At that time, our driver was completing another assignment but proceeded to you as quickly as possible. To assist you on the day, we sent a reminder with detailed instructions on where to wait—specifically, that the driver would be holding a signboard with your name and provided a tracking link for your convenience. Unfortunately, it appears you waited on the street rather than the designated meeting point, which made it challenging to locate you. It was, in fact, quite fortunate that the driver managed to find you at all. Please also note that the driver assigned to your transfer was not changed last minute. Our team shared the driver’s contact information and tracking details well in advance. Although our messages were marked as read, we did not receive a response. We truly regret how this situation impacted your experience and appreciate your feedback. We are committed to improving our communication and service to ensure a smoother experience for all our customers. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you safe and enjoyable travels in the future. Best regards, Customer Support / AlpTransfer.com

Poor Experience

SeemaBharti_M, Jun 2025
Our car broke down on way from Zurich to Lucerne.We were stranded on the highway for 1hour 30 minutes before the vendor sent a new car although we were just 15minutes away from Zurich. We reached our destination 2 hour late in spite of booking an expensive private transfer.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Customer, We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused during your transfer. Despite this unforeseen issue, our priority was ensuring your plans were not disrupted. The replacement vehicle arrived and the driver not only ensured you reached your activity on time but also personally assisted in transferring your luggage to your hotel to help make up for the delay. We would also like to clarify that while it may have seemed like Zurich was just 15 minutes away, the actual distance from our garage in Zurich to your location on the highway was approximately 50 minutes. As soon as the incident occurred, we promptly dispatched a replacement vehicle to minimize the delay. While accidents can happen, we did our best to manage the situation efficiently and ensure the rest of your journey went as smoothly as possible. Best regards, Customer Support / AlpTransfer.com

It's worth the investment!

vicki_m, Sep 2022
Was canceled. Plane flight delayed. They only operate until 16:00, so had to take the train. Train was easy and we should not have booked a private transfer.

Great transfer experience in Zurich

Linda_L, Jan 2020
Our driver was right there as we exited baggage claim. Car was a beautifully maintained Mercedes Benz. Our driver spoke immaculate English which was very helpful. The ride was smooth to our hotel. We would use this service again.
