Private Airport Transfers in Munich

Munich Airport (MUC) is Bavaria's main gateway and Germany's second busiest airport, located 40 km northeast of the city centre. It serves one of Europe's most beloved cities — home to the Marienplatz, the English Garden, world-famous beer halls and a doorstep to the Bavarian Alps and Neuschwanstein Castle. A private transfer with LocalsRide means a fixed price from MUC, an English-speaking driver in arrivals, and a direct ride to your hotel or destination in Munich.

Transfers start from €35 — fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.

Why Choose a Private Transfer in Munich?

The S-Bahn from MUC to the city centre takes 40–45 minutes but doesn't serve most hotel addresses directly, and is impractical with luggage during peak periods. During Oktoberfest and Messe München events, taxis and ride-hailing services surge significantly. With LocalsRide your price is fixed, your driver is at arrivals and you go directly to your door.

For Every Munich Traveller

• Business & trade fair visitors — IAA, Messe München, BAU: punctual, direct, VAT invoice provided
• Alps & skiing visitors — long-distance transfers to Garmisch, Berchtesgaden and across the border to Austria
• Families — child seats available, minivans for groups with ski equipment or luggage
