Swiss Quality Since 1987

About Alpine Executive Transfer AG

For over three decades, we have been Zurich's preferred private chauffeur company for the world's most demanding travellers — quietly professional, impeccably reliable, and uncompromisingly Swiss in our standards.

Our Story

37 Years of Excellence on Swiss Roads

Alpine Executive Transfer AG was founded in 1987 by Hans-Rudolf Wenger, a former Swissair senior officer who believed that the Swiss tradition of precision, discretion and hospitality deserved a ground transport company to match.

Starting with a single Mercedes 300 SE and a Rolodex of Bahnhofstrasse banking contacts, the company grew organically through word of mouth — the only marketing any truly elite Swiss service needs. By 1995 we operated a fleet of twelve vehicles. By 2005, forty. Today we maintain 47 premium Mercedes vehicles, all company-owned and all chauffeur-operated.

We have never outsourced a single ride. Every driver is employed full-time by Alpine Executive Transfer AG, background-checked, trained in-house, and held to standards that no platform-based competitor can replicate.

Zurich is our home. Switzerland is our territory. The world is our client base.

What We Stand For

The Alpine Executive Difference

Swiss Discretion

Your journeys, conversations and destinations are strictly confidential. Our drivers sign NDAs. Passenger data is never shared.

Punctuality

We track flights, monitor traffic and plan around delays before they happen. 98% on-time rate across 50,000+ annual transfers.

Fleet Excellence

Every vehicle is under 3 years old, maintained to manufacturer standards, detailed before each transfer, and equipped with Wi-Fi, water and phone chargers.

Professional Drivers

Multilingual (EN, DE, FR, IT), formally trained, professionally dressed. Our drivers are background-checked and employed — never contractors.
