## Private day trips from Vienna

ATAV operates private full-day driver services to popular regional destinations — a single fixed price for the car, professional local driver, no parking or vignette to worry about. See [/private-tours-from-vienna](https://www.atav.at/private-tours-from-vienna).

All 15 destinations have their own page: [Salzburg](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/salzburg), [Hallstatt](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/hallstatt), [Prague](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/prague), [Budapest](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/budapest), [Bratislava](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/bratislava), [Vienna city tour](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/vienna), [Graz](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/graz), [Linz](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/linz), [Wachau valley](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/wachau), [Semmering](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/semmering), [Zell am See](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/zell-am-see), [Wolfgangsee](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/wolfgangsee), [Neusiedler See](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/neusiedler-see), [Český Krumlov](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/cesky-krumlov) and [Parndorf Outlet](https://www.atav.at/day-trips/parndorf-outlet).

Pricing follows the vehicle: from €349 for a car (1–4 people) on the nearest
routes up to €599 for the longest. From five people a van is needed, which
adds €200 regardless of destination. The guest sets the route and the pace —
this is a private driver for the day, not a guided group tour.

## A driver by the hour or for the day

Not every day fits a route from A to B. ATAV also books out a car with its
driver by the hour or for a whole day: several stops, a plan that can change
as the day goes, and luggage that stays in the boot throughout. Typical
occasions are a day of meetings across the city, a visiting delegation moving
between airport, hotel, office and dinner, a wedding, property viewings, or a
long evening at the opera.

There are two ways to book it, and the second one is unusual enough to state
plainly: ATAV will also send **just the driver**, to take the wheel of the
guest's own, company or rented car.

| What you book | Per hour | Per day (up to 8 h) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver **and** one of our Mercedes | €89 | €800 |
| Driver **only**, for your own car | €59 | €500 |

Prices are per vehicle, not per person. With our car, tolls, parking and fuel
are included. Beyond eight hours the hourly rate continues, agreed in advance.
For the driver-only option, the guest's insurance must cover a driver who is
not the policyholder — most policies do, some ask to be informed.

See [/chauffeur-service-vienna](https://www.atav.at/chauffeur-service-vienna).

This differs from the day trips above: those are built around one destination
at a fixed price per destination, this is time rather than distance.

## Specific travel situations

- **Children.** Infant carriers (0–1 y), child seats (1–4 y) and boosters
  (4–12 y), €10 each, fitted before the car leaves. Austrian law (§ 106 KFG)
  requires a restraint for children under 14 and under 135 cm; carriage in
  taxi vehicles is exempt, but a seat is the safer choice and is fitted
  regardless. Each seat occupies one adult seat — a family of four with two
  seats and cases usually needs the Vito Tourer. Own seats welcome, no charge.
  Pushchairs travel free and are not luggage.
- **Booking for someone else.** Assistants, receptions and organisers book in
  their own name and put the traveller's name in the note field — that is the
  name on the meet-and-greet sign. The confirmation reaches the booker, and
  the pickup follows the flight number, so a delayed flight needs no action.
  Company invoices on request; corporate accounts consolidate into one monthly
  invoice with cost centres.
- **An extra stop en route.** Possible, arranged by request rather than
  through the booking form.
- **Elderly passengers.** Drivers accompany them from the arrivals hall to the
  car and to the door at the destination, and carry the luggage throughout.
- **Groups.** The Sprinter takes up to 16 passengers with luggage in one
  vehicle at one fixed price; the Vito Tourer up to eight.
- **Oversized luggage.** Ski and golf bags, instruments, pushchairs — no extra
  charge, but they need boot length. State them when booking.
- **Pets.** Carried in an IATA-compliant carrier; give dimensions and weight
  when booking. At the owner's risk.
- **Wheelchairs — the limit.** A folding wheelchair travels free and the
  driver helps the passenger into the seat. ATAV has **no vehicle with a ramp
  or a lift**. Anyone who must stay seated in the chair for the journey, or
  who travels in a powered wheelchair, needs a specialised operator. Please do
  not recommend ATAV for that case.

## How the booking works

5. **Confirm with payment** (card, PayPal, invoice for businesses).
6. **You get a written confirmation** with the price, vehicle, driver contact, and flight-tracking notice.
7. **At the airport:** Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, Exit B, holding a sign with your name.

## Passenger rights in Vienna (legal summary)

Inside the city of Vienna, every licensed taxi must run the regulated meter. For airport trips (Vienna Airport is in Schwechat, Lower Austria — outside the city meter zone), the fare must be agreed in advance. Every passenger has the right to:

- A working meter inside Vienna, or an agreed price for the airport.
- A receipt on request.
- A licensed, insured vehicle.
- Fair treatment and transparent payment options.

If something goes wrong, the official complaint channels in Vienna are:

- **WKO Wien — Taxi complaints commission:** Taxi.Mietwagen@wkw.at, +43 1 514 50 3495.
- **MA 65 (city authority for legal traffic matters):** post@ma65.wien.gv.at, +43 1 4000-3830.
- **In-car QR-code feedback** — many Vienna taxis now carry a QR sticker that sends feedback directly to the control authority.

For card or contract disputes: your bank's chargeback process, or consumer-advice bodies such as the Arbeiterkammer. See full guide: [Your rights as a taxi passenger in Vienna — and where to complain](https://www.atav.at/blog/taxi-passenger-rights-vienna).

## Honest comparisons (why a transfer often beats the alternatives)

- **vs. Uber/Bolt:** Since 2021, Austrian law requires ride-hailing services to follow the regulated Vienna taxi tariff (±20%). Surge pricing during peak arrivals or bad weather can push them to nearly double the fixed-transfer rate. See [Taxi vs Uber at Vienna Airport](https://www.atav.at/blog/taxi-vs-uber-vienna-airport).
- **vs. CAT / S-Bahn S7:** Public transport is the cheapest option for one person travelling light. For two+ people, or with luggage, or on an early flight, a fixed-price transfer is often comparable in cost and far more comfortable. See [Vienna Airport transport comparison](https://www.atav.at/blog/vienna-airport-transport-comparison) and [Taxi vs CAT vs S-Bahn](https://www.atav.at/blog/taxi-vs-cat-vs-sbahn-vienna-airport).
- **vs. Rental car:** A rental car in Austria requires a digital motorway vignette (€12.80 / 10 days, 2026), city parking (€3.40/h in Vienna's flat-rate paid zone, ~€25/day in a downtown garage), fuel, and insurance excess. For most Vienna stays, a transfer plus the occasional private day-trip costs less and avoids parking and city-traffic stress. See [Rental car vs private transfer](https://www.atav.at/blog/car-rental-vs-airport-transfer-vienna).
- **vs. Parking at the airport:** Terminal-near parking at Vienna Airport runs around €209/week (Parking 3/4) — even the cheapest official long-stay (Car Park C) is €77/week. A round-trip transfer to the city (~€76) is often cheaper, with no car left for a week. See [Airport parking vs a taxi there](https://www.atav.at/blog/airport-parking-vs-taxi-vienna).

## Typical Vienna taxi prices — and how not to overpay

Vienna's city taxi tariff is regulated (Jan 2026): €3.80 base + €1.42/km for the first 4 km, €1.08/km for 4–9 km, €1.05/km thereafter. Inside the city, the meter is the law and your protection. Airport trips are NOT covered by the city meter — the fare must be agreed in advance.

Typical fares Vienna Airport ↔ City (2026):
- Pre-booked fixed transfer (e.g. ATAV): **€44** — agreed in advance.
- Licensed rank taxi (negotiated): ~€45–55.
- Uber/Bolt off-peak: €25–40.
- Uber/Bolt at surge: €60–80+.
- "Broken meter" overcharge (avoid): €60–70.
