Taxi from EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg

Taxi is one of the convenient ways to get from EuroAirport to Zurich, Rust, Breisach, Lucerne, Hofstetten-Flüh, and other cities of France, Germany, and Switzerland. If you order a taxi, no reservation is required. The main disadvantage of such a trip is that you will find out the final cost only at the end of the journey. And it can unpleasantly surprise you, especially if you deal with an unscrupulous taxi driver.

One can get from to the French area for approximately 50-160 euro, and to the Swiss one – for 50-340 Swiss francs.

You also need to provide your flight number, so that the driver of your transfer arrives at the airport in advance.
