4.Salzburg Train Station Departure Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 15 minutes (approx.)

You’ll get a private, one-way ride from your Salzburg hotel to Hauptbahnhof, usually taking about 15 minutes. Book with your train and hotel details, then reconfirm the pickup 24 to 48 hours ahead. Driver assistance at the station can be especially useful for older passengers and heavy luggage.

“The transfer company called our hotel and left us a message on pick time which was nice because for other transfers we had to call the company to know the pick up time. The minibus though was not in a great condition and the driver left us with the luggage outside the rail station without help.”
