Munich Airport
Munich Airport, north-east of the Bavarian capital near Freising, is one of Europe's major hubs. A road transfer from Geneva is a long but direct option for families and groups with heavy luggage, for passengers whose connection has been cancelled, and for anyone who prefers a single private vehicle across Switzerland and southern Germany.
Chauffeur's tipMunich has two terminals far apart. Check your booking for Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 and add it to your reservation so the chauffeur goes straight to the right one.
Across Switzerland to Bavaria
The route crosses the whole Swiss Plateau: your chauffeur takes the A1 via Lausanne, Bern and Zurich, then continues east towards St. Gallen and Lake Constance. Depending on traffic, the route crosses into Germany around Lake Constance, often passing briefly through Austria near Bregenz, and joins the A96 towards Munich through the Allgäu. Munich Airport is reached via the ring road north of the city. Allow around 5 h 55 for 618 km, plus breaks.
Arriving at Munich Airport
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are separated by a central area, and Terminal 1 is divided into several modules. Being dropped at the right departures zone is a real time-saver with luggage. AirportsTransfers.ch also offers the reverse journey: after landing in Munich you are met in the arrivals hall with a name sign, your flight is tracked, and waiting time is included if you are late.
Practical advice
A transfer of almost six hours needs some planning.
- Plan one or two breaks, for example near Zurich and in the Allgäu.
- The Zurich area and the approach to Munich are busy at rush hour.
- The Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags; the S-Class suits a business traveller who wants to work.
- Carry identity documents, as the route crosses at least one border.
- Child seats are fitted on request, and a return trip can be added to the same booking.

About Munich Airport14
Where is Munich Airport located?
Munich Airport lies roughly 30 km north-east of Munich city centre, between the towns of Freising and Erding in Bavaria. It is reached by motorway from the Munich ring road, which is how the chauffeur approaches it from the west.
Why drive from Geneva to Munich Airport instead of flying?
Travellers choose the drive when they need a long-haul flight from Munich, after a cancellation at Geneva, or with luggage and sports gear. A private transfer avoids connections and runs door to door to the right terminal at Munich Airport.
How many terminals does Munich Airport have?
Munich Airport has two passenger terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with a central area between them. Terminal 1 is divided into several modules, so knowing your terminal and module makes the drop-off much easier.
What is between the two terminals at Munich Airport?
Between the terminals is the central area known as the Munich Airport Center, with shops, restaurants and a large covered plaza. It is a convenient place to wait if you arrive at Munich Airport well before your flight.
How do I get from Munich Airport to the city centre?
Suburban S-Bahn trains link Munich Airport with the city centre, and airport buses also run. A chauffeur can also continue from the airport to any Munich address if your trip ends in the city rather than on a flight.
Where can I stay near Munich Airport before an early flight?
Many travellers stay at hotels in the airport area itself, or in nearby Freising or Erding, which are just a few minutes away. Arriving the evening before and staying near Munich Airport removes pressure for a morning departure.
Is Munich Airport a major hub for long-haul flights?
Yes, Munich is one of Germany's main hub airports, with many long-haul and European connections, notably on Lufthansa and its partners, who mainly use Terminal 2. This is why some Geneva travellers choose to start their journey from Munich Airport.
What can I visit near Munich Airport?
The old cathedral town of Freising, on a hill above the Isar valley, is close to Munich Airport. Munich itself, with the Marienplatz, the English Garden and its museums, is a short drive away if you have time before a flight.
Can I stop in Munich city before going to the airport?
Yes, a stop in Munich can be added, for example for a meeting or lunch, before continuing to Munich Airport. Add the stop when booking so the itinerary and fixed price take it into account.
Is there a train from Geneva to Munich Airport?
Yes, Munich can be reached from Geneva by train, usually with changes via Zurich, and then the S-Bahn to the airport. A private transfer avoids carrying luggage between trains and drops you directly at your terminal.
What is the Allgäu region on the way to Munich Airport?
The Allgäu is a hilly region of south-western Bavaria, with green pastures, lakes and the Alps on the horizon. The A96 crosses it between Lake Constance and Munich, and it is a pleasant area for a break on the transfer.
Does Munich get busy during big events?
Yes, during its large autumn beer festival, major trade fairs and football matches, Munich's roads and hotels are much busier. Allow more time on the approach to Munich Airport during such periods, and book transfers early.
Can you drop me at the Munich trade fair grounds instead of the airport?
Yes, besides Munich Airport, the chauffeur can drop you at the Messe München exhibition grounds in the east of the city or any hotel in Munich. Give the exact address or hall entrance when booking.
Do I need a passport to travel by road from Geneva to Munich Airport?
Yes, take a valid passport or national identity card, as the route crosses from Switzerland into Germany and usually through Austria. You will need it for your flight from Munich Airport anyway, so keep it handy.
