Danube Cruise Transfer Vienna: Chauffeur to Your Port

Who this transfer is for

You are joining or leaving a river cruise on the Danube and need to get between Vienna and the ship — with all your luggage. GLOBALANE is a chauffeur service (rental car with driver) operated by YC Günaydin Taxi & Mietwagen OG in Vienna: no taximeter, no shared rides, and a fixed price that is agreed for the booked route before departure.

Cruise transfers are luggage-heavy by nature: suitcases and hand luggage for everyone on board. A saloon car is often simply too small. Please tell us how many people are travelling and what luggage you are bringing when you book — the vehicle class is chosen according to the number of passengers and the luggage. If you are travelling with a folded wheelchair or another bulky item, please state that when you book as well.

Vienna, the airport and the Danube ports

We drive between Vienna city addresses, Vienna Airport (VIE) and the berths along the Danube. Route pages for individual port runs already exist in German:

• Vienna – Budapest port (German)
• Vienna – Bratislava port (German)
• Vienna – Linz Danube port (German)
• Vienna – Passau port (German)

If your ship berths elsewhere, enter the address or the name of the quay in the calculator above and you will receive a fixed price for that exact route. If you want to stop on the way — at your hotel, at a lock or at a viewpoint — add the stop in the calculator as well; the fixed price shown then covers the whole route including that stop. A full overview of vehicles and rates is on the English price page.

What is included — and what is not

• A fixed price for the agreed route, confirmed before departure.
• VAT (10 % on passenger transport in Austria), road tolls and the Austrian motorway vignette.
• Intermediate stops that you enter in the calculator before booking — they are part of the calculated fixed price.
• On pick-ups at Vienna Airport: the chauffeur waits in the arrivals area with a tablet showing your name, helps with the luggage and accompanies you to the vehicle.

Not included: a guided tour. Under Austrian trade law your chauffeur is not a licensed tour guide, so they do not give commentary on sights, and we will not promise it. Entrance tickets and gratuities are not part of the price either.

A transfer is priced as one single run from the pick-up address to the destination — the return leg is a separate booking, and the vehicle does not stay with you in between. If you want the car and the chauffeur at your disposal for a longer stretch, for example for the hours between the ship and your flight, book by the hour instead: from €59 per hour for the Economy class, €69 for the E-Class, €99 for the V-Class and €149 for the S-Class. See chauffeur by the hour in Vienna.

Charged separately: route changes and additional stops requested after the booking, waiting time beyond the amount included in our terms and conditions, time that exceeds a booked hourly package, and parking, entry or admission fees caused by a stop you ask for. Route changes after departure are accommodated where possible, but there is no entitlement to them — so if you already know about a stop, please enter it in the calculator before you book.

Pick-up points

At Vienna Airport your chauffeur waits in the arrivals area with a tablet showing your name, helps with the luggage and accompanies you to the vehicle. In the city we collect you at the door of your hotel, apartment or private address. At the river, please give us the name of your ship and the berth printed on your cruise documents — quays are long and vessels are often moored side by side, so the berth matters more than the port name. For flights specifically, see our Vienna Airport transfer page.

One example of a fixed route many cruise guests need — the run between a Vienna city address and the airport (price per vehicle and per single journey, not per person):

Fixed prices for the port routes are shown on the route pages linked above and, for every other port and address, in the calculator on this page.

The price you see in the calculator is the price for the agreed route and vehicle class, and that is the amount on your invoice. Additions you request later — extra stops, route changes, or waiting time beyond the amount included in our terms and conditions — are charged in addition.

Booking and payment

Enter your pick-up and drop-off address, add any intermediate stops, choose the vehicle class and reserve. You then pay online – by card, Apple Pay, EPS, Klarna or another method offered at checkout; payments are handled by Mollie B.V. Payment in the vehicle or to the driver is not possible; payment on account is available to approved business customers only. Cancellation is possible up to 7 days before departure for a fee of 10 % of the agreed fixed price, with 90 % refunded; less than 7 days before departure, and if you do not show up, the agreed fixed price remains payable in principle (see section 7 of our terms).
