Flying into Vienna for a congress or trade fair means navigating a city you may not know, on a timetable you cannot move. GLOBALANE takes that problem off your desk: a private chauffeur collects you at the airport or your hotel, drives you to the correct entrance of your venue and works to a fixed price agreed before you book. No taximeter, no queueing for a cab, no searching for parking while your session starts without you.
First-time visitors often assume everything in Vienna happens in the old town. It does not. Messe Wien (the city’s main exhibition centre) lies in the Prater, a large park and leisure district northeast of the centre. The Austria Center Vienna sits across the Danube next to the United Nations complex, on the opposite side of the river from most hotels. Congresses in the Hofburg (the former imperial palace) take place in historic halls in the first district, in the middle of the pedestrian-heavy old town. Add Vienna Airport in Schwechat, outside the city, and a single congress day can easily involve several journeys per person — each with a fixed time window and each in a different direction.
This is where a planned Messe Wien transfer earns its keep. We build your rides around your programme, collect you at the agreed address and set you down directly at the right entrance — not somewhere on a ring road with a ten-minute walk you did not plan for. You step out, walk to your talk or your stand, and the logistics stay our problem, not yours.
A speaker, an exhibitor and a trade visitor need very different things from the same journey. We arrange each transfer around the part you play that day:
Send us your programme: arrival time, hotel, venue and the journeys you need. We confirm every ride in advance with a binding fixed price, so you know the cost before you commit — useful when the trip goes on a company expense report. If you arrive by air, we monitor your flight and move the pick-up automatically when you are delayed; waiting time at the airport is already included. The full arrival procedure is described on our airport transfer page.
On dense congress days — morning sessions, lunch meetings, an evening reception across town — booking a chauffeur by the hour is usually the more comfortable option. Your driver stays reserved for you, waits outside the venue and is ready the moment you come out. You keep one familiar contact for the whole day instead of arranging ride after ride between appointments.
Anyone who has organised an event knows that agendas move. Our conditions are built for that: you can cancel up to 7 days before pickup for a 10% fee (90% refund). If a panel is rescheduled or a delegation lands on a different flight, the booking adapts rather than the other way round. We are reachable around the clock, so a spontaneous extra ride after the evening programme is not a problem.
Discretion is part of the same promise. Our chauffeurs are experienced regular drivers who can tell when conversation is welcome and when silence is. Sensitive documents, the substance of a phone call and the names of your guests remain inside the car.
Every group size has a matching Mercedes class — maintained, air-conditioned and with room for luggage and exhibition material:
Every journey runs at a guaranteed fixed price without a taximeter. You will find an overview on our prices page.
You do not need to search. Your chauffeur meets you in person at the airport rather than waiting somewhere in a taxi rank. We track your flight, so if you land early or late, the pick-up shifts with you — and the waiting time at the airport is already included in your fixed price.
No. The exhibition centre lies in the Prater district, northeast of the old town, while most congress hotels are elsewhere in the city. It is not a distance you would want to walk with catalogues and a suitcase, which is why a planned transfer between hotel and hall makes a congress morning noticeably calmer.
Yes. We coordinate several vehicles as one group, so a delegation or a stand team leaves together and arrives together. For groups of up to 8 people with equipment, a single Mercedes V-Class is often enough; larger parties travel in a combination of cars timed to arrive as one.
Yes. Your booking becomes binding once payment is complete. You receive a binding fixed price before you book, and that is the amount that applies — no taximeter, no surge pricing, no surprises at the end of the ride.
Plans move, and the booking moves with them. Cancellation is possible up to 7 days before the journey for a 10% fee (90% refund), and we are reachable around the clock if you need to add or shift a ride at short notice.
Yes. If you have booked a chauffeur by the hour, your driver remains reserved for you and waits outside the venue however long the discussion continues. For single transfers, tell us your programme and we plan a realistic pick-up time with a buffer rather than a theoretical one.
That is exactly what the service is for. Our drivers are discreet, experienced chauffeurs; what is said or read in the cabin stays there. Many guests use the transfer between hotel and venue to prepare a talk or take a call in peace.
For one or two people with boxes of catalogues and samples, the Economy estate or the Mercedes E-Class usually suffices. If the whole stand team travels together with equipment, the Mercedes V-Class with up to 8 seats is the practical choice. We can also schedule an early run for set-up and a late pick-up after the hall closes.
Yes. Large venues have several entrances, and arriving at the wrong one can cost you a long walk around the building. Your driver sets you down directly at the entrance you need, and collects you from the same point afterwards.
A tip is never required and never built into the price. If you feel your chauffeur has done a particularly good job, a tip is appreciated — but the fixed price you agreed is the full amount owed.
Yes. We are reachable around the clock, and an additional evening journey — from a gala dinner back to the hotel, for example — can be arranged even at short notice.
That is the idea behind the hourly booking: one chauffeur, reserved for you, across sessions, meetings and the evening programme. You are not re-explaining your schedule to a new driver every time — the same person knows where you have been and where you go next.
Send us your programme and we take care of every journey between airport, hotel, congress centre and exhibition hall — at a fixed price, on time and with discretion. Reach us on +43 670 351 57 66 or at office@globalane.at.
