Airport Transportation in Vienna

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Vienna International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Airport transportation in Vienna takes you from Vienna International Airport in Schwechat to hotels, apartments and offices across the city, east to Bratislava and Brno, and west to Linz, Graz and Salzburg.

Vienna Airport Transfers

Our Vienna airport transfers start in the central arrivals hall in Terminal 3, where passengers from every terminal come out after customs. Your driver tracks your flight and waits there with a name sign, whichever check-in area your airline uses.

You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Vienna airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a hotel in the city center, an apartment in one of Vienna's districts, or a hotel in Bratislava, Linz or Graz.

Vienna Airport Shuttle

Our Vienna airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers and no change of train or bus in the city. There is room for suitcases and bulky bags, so it suits families, groups heading to a conference and travelers going on to Bratislava or Linz.

Landing at Vienna Airport

Vienna International Airport (VIE) lies in Schwechat, in the state of Lower Austria, southeast of Vienna and next to the A4 motorway. It is operated by Flughafen Wien AG and is the home base of Austrian Airlines.

Check-in is split between Terminal 1, Terminal 1A, a separate building opposite Terminal 1, and Terminal 3, used by Austrian Airlines and most Star Alliance airlines. Arrivals are simpler: all passengers come out into the central arrivals hall in Terminal 3.

If you arrive from outside the Schengen Area, you pass passport control before baggage claim; flights from Schengen countries skip it. After collecting your bags and passing customs, you exit into the arrivals hall. Vienna is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and moves to UTC+2 from late March to late October.

Entry requirements and local notes

Entry rules. Austria is in the Schengen Area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you travel.

Ignore ride offers in the arrivals hall. The airport warns against accepting rides from people who approach you in the hall, as these drivers often lack the required license. Look for your driver with your name sign.

Three check-in areas for departures. Ryanair and many European airlines use Terminal 1, leisure airlines such as Condor, Pegasus Airlines and SunExpress use Terminal 1A, and Austrian Airlines and most Star Alliance airlines use Terminal 3. Tell us your airline when you book your return.
