You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Schlieren is just 6 km (4 miles) from central Zurich, making it one of the most accessible day trip destinations in the canton. Public transport connections are frequent and the journey by train or tram takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes. For travelers arriving with luggage, traveling in a group, or wanting to continue onward to other Limmat Valley towns without retracing steps, a private transfer offers a more flexible and direct experience — your driver picks you up from exactly where you are and takes you precisely where you want to go.
Two to four hours is typically enough to explore Schlieren's highlights at a relaxed pace. The town is compact, so you can cover the Limmat riverside promenade, the historic center, and the industrial heritage sites without feeling rushed. Many travelers pair Schlieren with nearby Baden or Zurich itself to round out a fuller day, since its location in the Limmat Valley makes onward connections easy and logical.
Absolutely. Its proximity to Zurich makes it ideal for a short, purposeful stop rather than a destination requiring a full day commitment. If you have two to three hours free, you can experience the Limmat waterfront, the cultural quarter, and a local lunch without any sense of rushing. It works particularly well as a first or last stop when traveling between Zurich and destinations further west along the Limmat Valley, such as Baden, which lies roughly 15 km (9 miles) away.
The redeveloped industrial waterfront along the Limmat is the natural starting point, offering a mix of open green space, local eateries, and modern architecture alongside preserved factory buildings. The Stadthaus Schlieren anchors the civic center and reflects the town's contemporary Swiss identity. Art and culture enthusiasts will find rotating exhibitions and community spaces worth a stop. The surrounding valley landscape also makes for pleasant walking, especially along the river path that connects Schlieren westward through the valley.
Schlieren is a compact, walkable town in the Limmat Valley, sitting just 6 km (4 miles) west of Zurich's city center. Once a hub of Swiss industrial heritage, it has transformed into a lively mixed-use destination with a growing arts and cultural scene. Travelers come for its unpretentious local character — the kind of everyday Swiss life that polished tourist centers rarely show. The Limmatatelier cultural spaces, street art installations, and the redeveloped industrial quarter give it a distinct identity that feels genuinely lived-in rather than staged for visitors.
Schlieren offers something Zurich's polished tourist center cannot easily replicate: a window into ordinary, contemporary Swiss life. There are no major landmarks competing for your attention, no queues, and no souvenir shops obscuring the local texture. The industrial-to-cultural transformation of the town is still visibly in progress, which gives it an energy that feels current rather than curated. For travelers who want to understand Switzerland beyond its postcard version, Schlieren provides that perspective within a very short distance from the city.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
