Innsbruck Airport taxi and ski transfers

Our price is quoted live on this page and fixed once you book. There is no meter figure to compare it with, because Innsbruck's taxi tariff applies only inside the city and expressly excludes journeys beyond it. What the airport does publish is a sheet of standard recommended fares from the terminal, and that sheet puts Mayrhofen im Zillertal at 170 euros, with a warning that the figure moves with passenger numbers and luggage. That guide figure is for the whole car, and on recent quotes it has been lower than our price, so compare the two on the day: booking with us buys a price agreed before you fly and a driver already waiting, not a saving.

Yes. The airport says the taxi stand is directly in front of the terminal and that you can get into a taxi straight off your flight. You cannot pre-book a car in that queue, though, and for a resort run the fare is a matter of agreement rather than a published scale. The airport names no ride-hail platform and publishes no ride-hail pick-up arrangement either, so there is no app collection point to look for. The information desk in the check-in hall is where the airport sends anyone who needs help with any of it.

Bus line F runs directly between the terminal and Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof and takes about 20 minutes, calling in the city centre on the way. A single for the Innsbruck core zone is 3,30 euros in advance sale, and there is an early service that reaches the airport at 04.47. The catch that costs people money is that you cannot buy a ticket on board: Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe sells them at machines at the stops, at parking meters around the city, at its customer service centre and online.

Not from the terminal. The airport has no station of its own and points rail travellers at Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof, which line F reaches in about 20 minutes. From there Tyrol's network opens up, and for some resorts that is genuinely the better answer: St Anton am Arlberg, for instance, has direct services from Innsbruck all day.

The airport's own claim is that nearly all of Tyrol's well known winter sports resorts are within roughly one hour of the terminal. That holds for the Stubai, Seefeld and the near Zillertal. The Arlberg, the Paznaun and the head of the Oetztal are further out, and their transfer times stretch in winter when the valley roads fill up on changeover Saturdays.

Not you, but the vehicle does. Between 1 November and 15 April Austrian law lets a car be driven in wintry conditions only with winter tyres on all four wheels, or with chains on at least two driven wheels where the road is under a continuous layer of snow or ice. Coaches have their own version of the rule and must carry chains through the same period. Vehicles quoted here are operated by licensed local suppliers who work these roads all winter.

Yes, and so is everything else about the road. Austria charges for its motorways by vignette rather than by barrier, the Zillertal tourist board tells drivers to buy the digital one before they set off, and ASFINAG prices a car vignette at 9,60 euros for a day, 12,80 euros for ten days and 106,80 euros for the year. With us that is the operator's cost, because your fare was agreed before the journey and does not change.

Nothing if you are quick. Every car park gives free exit within 10 minutes. Past that, the short stay car parks P1 and P3 charge 3,70 euros for the first hour and for each further hour up to 37,00 euros a day. Worth knowing in winter, when P1 and P5 are closed altogether and the multi-storey is doing all the work.

At the airport's designated pick-up point on the arrivals side. Innsbruck publishes no fixed meeting point of its own for pre-booked drivers, so ring yours as soon as you are on the ground, on the number in your supplier details email, and they will tell you exactly where to walk. Express pick-up of that kind is included in what you paid. Being met inside the hall with a name board is meet and greet, which is a paid extra at checkout.

Yes, but tell us at booking rather than at the kerb. Skis and boards change the vehicle we need rather than just the boot arrangement. A saloon takes three passengers with two or three standard suitcases, depending on the car quoted, an estate four passengers and three suitcases, a people carrier five passengers and four suitcases, and our eight seater eight of each. Ski bags count as luggage, so a party of four with full ski kit is an estate or a people carrier rather than a saloon.

Yes, on request when you book. Tell us the ages and we pass it to the supplier with the job. Seats are not something to rely on finding at a rank at midnight in January, which is the usual reason families book this leg ahead.

We track the flight and move the pick-up to the real landing time at no extra charge, so book for the scheduled arrival rather than padding it, and the free waiting window included in your fare starts when the aircraft lands. Cancel more than 24 hours before pick-up and you pay nothing; inside 24 hours the booking is charged in full. Payment is online by card when you book, for the whole vehicle rather than per seat.

At least 24 hours before your pick-up. We can't take bookings at shorter notice here. If you have just landed and need a car now, the airport taxi rank is the quickest option.
