Private Transfers from Munich Airport with Taxi Anton
A private transfer means the vehicle is yours alone, the departure follows your flight rather than a timetable, and the price is fixed when you book — per vehicle, not per seat. We are a taxi company based in St. Anton am Arlberg and we have been driving this road since 2011, with drivers who have known it since 1998. Direct operator, not a booking agent: every transfer is driven by us, in our own vehicles, by our own drivers — not passed on to a partner firm.
Of our six airports Munich offers the widest choice of flights — and it is also the longest drive of the six. That is exactly why a private transfer is worth more here than elsewhere: whoever knows the road knows the ways round it, and from Munich there are three.
We drive private transfers only. There is no shared shuttle, no waiting for passengers off other flights and no stops that are not yours. Your driver meets you in the arrivals area of your terminal, helps with cases and ski bags, and takes you to the door of your resort accommodation. Tolls and the vignette are included, so are child seats, and if your flight is late the driver waits at no extra cost.

Munich Airport Transfer Pickup: Where We Meet You
Terminal 1 or Terminal 2
Munich splits its flights between two terminals, T1 and T2, and they are far enough apart that standing outside the wrong one with eight people and eight ski bags costs real time. That is why we ask for the flight number and not just the hour: it tells us which terminal you come out of, and that is where the driver waits.
After you land
After you land you go through baggage reclaim and customs as usual. Your driver is waiting beyond that, in the arrivals area — where arriving passengers come out, not outside at the kerb. A private transfer waits for you; you do not queue for it. He will hold a sign with your name on it if you ask for one.
What makes the meeting point certain
Three things take the uncertainty out of the meeting point. First, we track your flight number, so the pickup time moves with your flight. Second, you get your driver’s mobile number the day before, and he has yours. Third, there is a number that is answered around the clock.
Children, ski bags and groups of eight
If you are travelling with children, with ski bags, or as a group of eight, tell us when you book. The right vehicle is then waiting at the right terminal and the child seats are already fitted by the time you walk out.
The Three Roads Your Munich Airport Transfer Can Take
From Zurich one corridor leads to the Arlberg, and from Innsbruck one. From Munich there are three — and that is the single thing that sets this approach apart from every other. Which one you get is decided by the driver on the morning of the drive, not by the booking calendar.
Over the Fernpass — the shortest
South from the airport, along the A95 past Garmisch-Partenkirchen, over the border into Austria at Ehrwald, across the Fernpass at 1,216 metres, down to Nassereith and along the Inn through Imst to Landeck. From there the S16 climbs the Stanzertal. It is the shortest way in kilometres — and the one where winter has the most to say.
Round by Kufstein — the longest
East first and then up the Inn valley, through Kufstein and Innsbruck to Landeck. More kilometres, but motorway almost the whole way and no pass. When there is snow on the Fernpass or a closure reported, the longer road is often the quicker one.
West by way of Lindau — in between
West past Lake Constance, into Austria at Lindau, up the Rhine valley to Feldkirch and Bludenz and from there into the Klostertal — which approaches the Arlberg from the other side. For the ski resorts beyond the pass, Stuben, Zürs and Lech, that is now and then the sensible one.
| Ski resort | Over the Fernpass | West by Lindau | Round by Kufstein |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Anton am Arlberg | 230 km · 3h | 305 km · 3h 15min | 298 km · 3h 25min |
| St. Christoph | 237 km · 3h 5min | — | — |
| Stuben | 245 km · 3h 15min | 291 km · 3h 5min | 315 km · 3h 40min |
| Zürs | 245 km | 296 km · 3h 10min | 315 km · 3h 40min |
| Lech | 252 km · 3h 20min | 305 km · 3h 15min | 320 km · 3h 45min |
The figures are measured against the map rather than estimated, and a dash means we have no checked number for that combination — in which case it stays empty instead of invented. The fixed price does not change with the road: you pay the same whether we go over the Fernpass or round the long way.
Munich Airport Transfer, Train or Rental Car: How to Reach the Arlberg
There is more than one way from the airport into the mountains. Which one suits you depends on how many of you there are, how much you are carrying, and when you land.
| Option | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | Families, groups, skis, late arrivals | Door to door, fixed price per vehicle, departs when your flight lands — and the driver picks whichever of the three roads is quickest that morning |
| Taxi from the rank | Short hops around Munich | On the meter — not built for a run of more than two hundred kilometres into the mountains |
| Train | One or two people travelling light | The airport has a railway station of its own, but nothing runs from it to the Arlberg. First the S-Bahn into Munich Hauptbahnhof, with every case and every ski bag changing with you. Then a westbound train and another change in Austria. You get off at Langen am Arlberg or at St. Anton am Arlberg, depending on the ski resort — Langen is the station for Stuben, Zürs, Lech and Klösterle. From the station there is one more leg by road. |
| Scheduled bus | A small budget and fixed timing | Leaves to a timetable rather than to your flight, and stops along the way |
| Rental car | Staying mobile once you are there | The vignette, winter equipment, parking in the resort — and you drive the Fernpass in the snow yourself, behind the same lorries |
From about three people with ski luggage onwards, a private transfer is usually the simpler answer and often the cheaper one too, because the price is for the vehicle and does not climb with each passenger. Every other option ends at a station or a stop; only the private transfer ends at the door of your resort accommodation.
Munich Airport Transfers in Winter
The Fernpass in the snow
On none of our other roads does winter make as much difference as it does here. The Fernpass is a two-lane pass road, and snow changes it more than it changes any motorway.
Which is what the three roads are for
That is exactly what the other two roads are for. In the morning the driver looks at what the snow, the closures and the traffic are doing and takes whichever road is quickest that day — even when it is seventy kilometres longer. A timetable cannot do that; a driver can.
Four-wheel drive, winter tyres and chains
We run four-wheel drive, winter tyres and chains on board all season. The climb onto the Arlberg comes at the end of the drive in any case, and for the ski resorts beyond the pass the Flexenstraße, which can close for a while in heavy snow.
Our Vehicles for Munich Airport Transfers
Two things decide the vehicle for your private transfer: how many of you there are and what you are bringing. Passengers and luggage are not the same question — eight people each with a case and a ski bag need more room than the seat count suggests. Tell us both when you book.
| Group | Vehicle |
|---|---|
| 1 to 4 passengers | Mercedes Minibus 4x4 or VW Caravelle Minibus 4x4 — room to spare for cases and ski bags |
| 5 to 8 passengers | The same vehicle, with skis and boards outside on the rear rack |
| More than 8 | Two vehicles, one price each — tell us the group size when you book |
On a three-hour drive the space matters more than it does on a one-hour one. Skis and snowboards therefore travel outside on the rear rack and cost nothing extra: it keeps the inside of the vehicle for the people, and nobody spends half the afternoon with a ski bag across their knees.
Child and booster seats are free and already fitted when we collect you, as long as you tell us the ages. Every vehicle is four-wheel drive with winter equipment.
Luggage, Skis and Equipment on Munich Airport Transfers
Skis and snowboards
Skis and snowboards travel outside, on a rack fitted to the rear door, and they cost nothing extra. The rack keeps the cabin for the people — which is why a group of eight with equipment still travels as one vehicle rather than two.
Cases, bags and pushchairs
Cases, hand luggage, boot bags and pushchairs travel inside with you. Passengers and luggage are two different questions, and the second one is the one people forget: eight seats do not automatically mean eight large cases plus eight ski bags. Tell us the luggage as well as the number of people and we send the vehicle that fits both.
Tell us before you travel
All of it is included: there is no luggage surcharge on a private Munich Airport transfer, and no charge for child seats either. What we do need is to know in advance, because the vehicle is chosen before the driver sets off on the two hundred kilometres to the airport. The booking form has a field for it, and one line is enough.
Family and Group Transfers from Munich Airport
A private transfer is a vehicle reserved for your group and nobody else. There are no other passengers to collect and no stops that are not yours: the drive from Munich Airport runs from arrivals to the door of where you are staying. On the longest of our approaches that is the difference between one journey and a whole travelling day with children and cases in tow.
Travelling with children
Child and booster seats are free and already fitted when we collect you — tell us the ages when you book and they are in the vehicle before you walk out of arrivals. Children count towards the eight seats, so include them in the passenger number. On a three-hour drive it is also worth saying if you will want a stop along the way.
Groups of more than eight
Up to eight people travel in one vehicle with their cases and ski equipment. Above eight we send two vehicles, each at its own fixed price, and both arrive at the same door at the same time. Tell us the group size when you book rather than at the airport, so the second vehicle is planned rather than improvised.
Airport Transfers from Munich to the Arlberg Region
Five ski resorts on the Arlberg, each with its own road and its own fixed price per vehicle for a private transfer. Distance, journey time and price are on each resort page; the kilometres below are for the shortest of the three roads.

We also drive to the villages of the Klostertal and the Stanzertal. If your village is not listed, just ask — the road is the same one.
Return Transfers to Munich Airport
The return is the direction where a clock matters. Our starting rule: leave 6 hours before departure, from any ski resort on the Arlberg. It is the longest lead time of all six airports, and it sounds like a lot until you lay it out: three hours of driving, and the rest for the Fernpass in winter, the border, and a terminal you do not want to reach in a hurry with ski bags.
That number is the starting point, not the last word. We work backwards from your departure time: check-in and security, the right terminal, the drive itself, and what the road is doing that morning. We call you the day before and set the pickup time with you.
| Departure from Munich | Pickup (6 hrs) |
|---|---|
| 06:00 | 00:00 |
| 07:00 | 01:00 |
| 09:00 | 03:00 |
| 11:00 | 05:00 |
| 13:00 | 07:00 |

| 17:00 | 11:00 |

Munich Airport Transfer FAQ
Where do I meet my driver at Munich Airport?
You meet your driver at Munich Airport in the arrivals area of your terminal, once you are through baggage reclaim and customs. Munich has two terminals, T1 and T2, and they are far enough apart that standing at the wrong one costs real time. That is why we need the flight number and not just the hour: it tells us which door to wait at. Your driver will hold a name sign if you ask for one.
Why do you need my flight number for a Munich Airport transfer?
We need your flight number for a Munich Airport transfer for two reasons. It tells us whether you land at T1 or T2 — and it lets us track your flight, so the pickup moves with a delay without you having to call.
How long does a transfer from Munich Airport to the Arlberg take?
A transfer from Munich Airport to the Arlberg takes about 3 hours to 3 hours 20 minutes on the shortest of the three roads, depending on the ski resort, over 230 to 304 kilometres. It is the longest of our six approaches, and the one where the road has the most to say about it.
Which road does the transfer from Munich Airport take?
The transfer from Munich Airport takes one of three roads, and the decision is made on the morning of the drive. Over the Fernpass is the shortest, round by Kufstein and the Inn valley the longest, west by way of Lindau sits between them. The driver takes whichever is quickest that day — snow, closures and the lorry queues on the Fernpass all have a vote.
Does the Munich Airport transfer cross a border?
Yes — the Munich Airport transfer crosses one border: Germany into Austria. On the Fernpass road it comes at Ehrwald. Keep your ID or passport to hand. The Austrian vignette and the tolls are inside the fixed price.
Is the private transfer price per person or per vehicle?
The private transfer price from Munich Airport is per vehicle, not per person. A private transfer is priced for the car and the driver, so whether there are two of you or eight, the price is the same, and it is fixed when you book.
What is included in the Munich Airport transfer price?
The Munich Airport transfer price includes the door-to-door journey, the Austrian vignette and tolls including the Arlberg tunnel where the road takes it, ski and snowboard carriage, child seats, and waiting time if your flight is late. You pay nothing extra along the way.
Why does Munich cost more than Zurich when the distance is similar?
Munich costs more than Zurich because you are not buying kilometres, you are buying a driver’s day. Zurich is motorway almost the whole way. From Munich the shortest road climbs the Fernpass, where in winter an hour can disappear behind a line of lorries. Mountain kilometres are slower than motorway kilometres.
What happens to my transfer if my flight to Munich is delayed?
Nothing changes for your Munich Airport transfer when the flight is delayed: we track your flight number and move the pickup to match. There is no extra charge and you do not need to call us.
Can I book a Munich Airport transfer for a very early or very late flight?
Yes — we run Munich Airport transfers around the clock, all year. Just give us the flight number — the time of day does not change the price.
Can I bring skis and snowboards on the transfer?
Yes — skis and snowboards travel free of charge on every Munich Airport transfer. Ski and board bags travel outside on the rear rack, so the inside of the vehicle stays for the people. Tell us how many when you book.
Are child seats available on Munich Airport transfers?
Yes — child and booster seats are free on every Munich Airport transfer. Tell us the ages of the children when you book.
How many passengers fit in one transfer vehicle?
Up to eight passengers fit in one transfer vehicle, with cases and ski equipment, in one private transfer. Larger groups travel in two vehicles — just tell us the number when you book.
How do I pay for my transfer?
You pay your driver directly for the Munich Airport transfer, in cash or by card. The price is fixed per vehicle and confirmed when you book, so you know the full amount before the journey starts.
Can I cancel a Munich Airport transfer free of charge?
Yes — Munich Airport transfers can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. A call or a WhatsApp message is enough.
What time do we need to leave for a flight out of Munich?
Our starting rule for a flight out of Munich: 6 hours before departure, from any resort on the Arlberg. That sounds like a lot until you lay it out: three hours of driving, and the rest for the Fernpass in winter, the border, and a terminal you do not want to reach in a hurry with ski bags.
Can you take us straight to Lech or Zürs, or do we change vehicle at St. Anton?
We take you straight to Lech or Zürs, with no change of vehicle. One vehicle and one driver from Munich Airport to the door of your accommodation, whichever resort it is — St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Zürs or Lech. There is no central drop-off point and nothing to arrange for the last few kilometres; your luggage is loaded once and unloaded once.
Is Munich or Innsbruck closer to St. Anton?
Innsbruck is closer to St. Anton than Munich, by a long way: about 100 kilometres against 230. Munich is further but has the widest choice of flights of the six airports we drive from, which can still make it the practical one depending on where you fly from. Add the transfer to the fare before you decide.
Can I book the return to Munich Airport at the same time?
Yes — you can book the return to Munich Airport at the same time, and it is the easier way to do it: we then know your outbound flight, we know whether it is T1 or T2, and we call you the day before to agree the pickup time.
Are your transfer vehicles equipped for winter?
Yes — our transfer vehicles are equipped for winter: four-wheel drive, winter tyres, and snow chains on board throughout the season. The Fernpass and the last climb onto the Arlberg are the reason.
Do you drive from Munich city as well as the airport?
Yes — we also drive from Munich city, not only the airport: a hotel, the main station or a private address in Munich itself. Send us the address and we will give you the fixed price.
Who will be driving my Munich Airport transfer?
Your Munich Airport transfer is driven by a driver from St. Anton am Arlberg. Our drivers live here and drive this road all winter — not a subcontractor you meet for the first time at the airport.
Do you run Munich Airport transfers in summer as well?
Yes — we run Munich Airport transfers all year, summer included. The same private transfer and the same fixed price per vehicle — and the Fernpass in summer is a different road from the Fernpass in January.
Other Airport Transfers to the Arlberg
Munich has the widest choice of flights and the longest drive. We run private transfers from six airports in all to the Arlberg ski resorts; for comparison, the distance to St. Anton:
