The Zurich to Milan route is one of our most requested Italy–Switzerland transfers. Rather than changing trains or waiting for coaches, you travel privately in comfort, door to door, on a fixed all-inclusive fare — about ~3 hours 15 min for the ~280 km journey.
Milan to Zurich is a spectacular trans-alpine transfer over the Gotthard, linking Italy's business capital with Switzerland's. A private car turns a complex rail journey into a comfortable door-to-door ride through the heart of the Alps.
Why Choose Our Cross-Border Transfer
International routes are exactly where a private transfer earns its keep. There are no connections to miss, no luggage to haul between platforms, and no language barrier at the border — just one licensed, English-speaking chauffeur who knows the Chiasso, then the Gotthard road tunnel crossing and the fastest roads. Your fare is fixed before departure, so cross-border tolls, the Switzerland vignette and fuel are all covered.
- Door-to-door, no changes
- One fixed all-inclusive price
- Experienced on international routes

Border Crossing Information
Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area, so there are normally no passport checks at the border — but carry a valid passport or national ID, as spot checks can happen.
Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, so occasional customs checks apply; simply declare any goods above the duty-free allowance.
Swiss motorways use an annual vignette (motorway sticker) rather than toll booths. Our vehicles already carry a valid vignette, so there is nothing for you to buy or arrange. Our drivers make this route regularly and handle the crossing and any formalities so you can simply relax.
