In Salzburg since 2010. A limousine company that never wanted to be one.
We started with two Mercedes E-Class and one idea: to run a transfer service that doesn't feel like a transfer service. Today we operate six vehicle classes – from Economy to Luxury, sedan and van – with brands including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Toyota and Renault. The standard hasn't changed: punctual, discreet, multilingual.
- 6 vehicle classes

Our journey, in stages.
Early days: we started with one idea – run a transfer service that doesn't feel like a transfer service. Two sedans, a small office in Salzburg, a handful of chauffeurs and a 24-hour hotline. Our first regulars were business travellers on the Salzburg ↔ Munich Airport corridor. We learned early that speed alone doesn't make regulars. Reliability is the only thing that counts.
Growth: as demand grew, we expanded our fleet and specialised in private tours through the Salzkammergut – Hallstatt, St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen – and charter ski transfers to the Alpine resorts. We built partnerships with local hotels and tour operators and developed an internal dispatch system to plan every transfer reliably.
Standardisation: in recent years we have focused on what really matters – a consistent service level, a clear pricing model, and a chauffeur team that speaks more than German and English. Today we serve guests from the DACH region, the UK, the Middle East and Asia. Turkish and Arabic in the chauffeur team are the direct result of that internationalisation.
Today: six vehicle classes with clear separation – Economy (Toyota Corolla or similar), Business (Mercedes E-Class or similar, with Volkswagen Passat or Arteon as agreed alternates), Economy Van (Renault Trafic or similar), Business Van (Mercedes Vito or similar), Luxury Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) and Luxury (Mercedes S-Class or similar). We don't run a convertible, a stretch limo or a party bus. We are a premium transfer company, not a show company.
Economy, Business, Luxury – each as sedan and as van.
Most transfer companies sort by size (sedan/van) or by brand (Mercedes/Toyota). We do both — but the more important distinction is comfort tier. You don't book a Mercedes, you book a level of punctuality, cleanliness, chauffeur conduct and vehicle age. The car is the last variable.
Economy tier (Toyota Corolla, Volkswagen Polo, Renault Trafic for the van variant): efficient, clean, well climate-controlled. We run this class for solo travellers, young couples, and cost centres that want taxi-level pricing with premium-level execution. No three-pointed star on the bonnet – but the vehicle is no older than 36 months, the chauffeur wears closed shoes and a suit without a tie, and the flat rate is binding.
Business tier (Mercedes E-Class, Volkswagen Passat or Arteon as agreed alternates; Mercedes Vito for the van variant): the tier for business travel, hotel pickups and wedding logistics. Quiet cabin, AGR-certified seats, bottled water and USB-C chargers as standard, tie on the chauffeur. This is the class most repeat clients pick – it gives the best balance of comfort and price.
Luxury tier (Mercedes S-Class, Mercedes V-Class for the van variant): executive first class. Rotating lounge seats in the V-Class with conference layout, fold-out desk, refrigerator, tinted glass. This tier is for three occasions: highest occasion (weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries), highest concentration (NDA conversations in transit, contracts to be signed), and highest discretion (publicly known guests, family bereavements, confidential visits).
Four brands, four roles
Mercedes-Benz
The backbone of our premium classes. Mercedes E-Class as the Business standard, S-Class for the Luxury tier, V-Class for families and VIP tours, Vito for charters and ski groups. Mercedes is the only brand where we run vehicles across four size categories – sedan, long-sedan, van and charter van. Servicing is carried out by authorised workshops in line with manufacturer intervals.
Volkswagen
Our Business alternatives: VW Passat and Arteon. When guests want a sedan at the same comfort level as the E-Class but without the Mercedes star (sometimes a deliberate choice for confidential business travel or family visits), we offer Passat or Arteon. Identical servicing standards, identical chauffeur conduct, identical flat rate. Caddy and Caravelle available as alternative vans subject to availability.
Toyota
Our Economy class. Toyota Corolla or comparable four-seater sedans, chosen for reliability and low fuel consumption. Where available, we prefer hybrid variants – this measurably reduces fuel cost on long routes like Salzburg → Munich Airport, without changing the flat rate for the guest. Spacious, quiet inside and comfortable on long distances.
Renault
Renault Trafic or comparable vans for our Economy Van class. Eight seats, generous cargo, low step-in – ideal for families with small children, senior groups and sports teams with bulky luggage. A deliberate choice: the Vito sits a tier above on interior comfort, but for groups that simply need a reliable, spacious ride, the Trafic is the right value-for-money pick.
Four principles we measure ourselves on
Punctuality as default. Punctuality isn't a service feature for us, it's a precondition. If a chauffeur is running late despite that, we tell you before arrival, not after the complaint. Our internal dispatch system shows every trip live, so we can adjust quickly when delays occur.
Discretion when needed. We speak only when you want to speak. We avoid scripted greetings, in-ride upselling and chauffeur phone calls in your presence. For confidential business travel, a per-booking non-disclosure agreement can be arranged.
Personal relationship. Regulars get the same chauffeur across multiple bookings wherever possible. We keep an internal profile per client – preferred vehicle class, water-or-coffee preference, small-talk preference, route preferences, child-seat needs. Consistency builds trust, not marketing promises.
Premium without overshow. No champagne-glass-in-the-car theatre. No red carpet. No scripted welcome routine. For us, premium is the sum of attention to detail, punctuality, cleanliness and quiet. What we deliver is the absence of friction – not the presence of show.
Four criteria. Order matters.
Local depth
Multi-year experience living in Salzburg, the Salzkammergut or the Berchtesgaden region. Our chauffeurs should know the differences between Salzburg's hotels and conference venues, anticipate A1 peak times during festival season, and be able to drive from the airport to the central addresses without GPS.
Minimum two languages
German and English are mandatory. Turkish or Arabic are a clear plus – a growing share of our guests travels from Istanbul, Ankara, Dubai and Riyadh. We test language not with school exams but with real guest scenarios drawn from everyday operations.
Behaviour under stress
A chauffeur who stays calm when the situation isn't – that's the most important quality. We simulate typical scenarios during the probationary drive: delayed flights, wrong addresses, crying children in the car, stressed business travellers. Reflexes can't be taught in two weeks – they have to be in the room already.
Ongoing training
Every chauffeur completes an internal training programme: route knowledge, back-friendly seat-setup training (especially for long-distance trips), first-aid refresher, GDPR compliance and conflict resolution. We repeat the training regularly rather than only once on onboarding.
Salzburg and the wider region – in detail.
We serve three geographic layers. First: Salzburg city and SZG Airport – every chauffeur knows the major hotels (Sacher, Bristol, Goldener Hirsch, Sheraton, Crowne Plaza), the conference venues and the parking options in the old town. Second: the Salzkammergut – Hallstatt, St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen, Mondsee, Wolfgangsee. We know the seasonal drive times, the best photo-stop viewpoints and which restaurants suit group lunches. Third: the Alpine resorts – Zell am See, Kaprun, Kitzbühel, Obertauern, Saalbach, Bad Gastein and the German ski areas around Berchtesgaden. In winter we run daily, know the toll points and the mandatory snow-chain zones.
Cross-border transfers are a specialism. Munich Airport (MUC) is roughly 150 km and typically about 105 minutes – noticeably longer in A8 traffic between Salzburg and Rosenheim. We know when the A8 typically stalls (Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings, ski-departure weekends) and plan accordingly. Vienna Airport (VIE) is around 295 km in about 3 hours 15. For guests heading to Berchtesgaden, we know the regional toll setup and the typical parking situation at Königssee in high season.
This geographic depth isn't just service polish – it's also a safety factor. A chauffeur who knows the route drives with more anticipation, less abruptness and more reserve. That is exactly why local experience matters more to us than pure driving years built up elsewhere.
What you can rely on – with evidence.
Licence and insurance. VPC is a registered passenger-transport operator in Salzburg. We operate only registered vehicles with a valid licence, passenger-transport insurance and a current motorway vignette. The exact business registration number is available on request.
Transparent pricing. Every booking gets a written confirmation with the flat rate – typically within 60 seconds of the online quote request. No hidden surcharges: tolls, parking fees and motorway vignette are included. The night surcharge (22:00–06:00) of +15% and optional Meet & Greet at the terminal are shown in writing before you confirm.
Cancellation. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Shorter-notice cancellations carry a proportional fee. In weather or flight emergencies (snowstorm, flight cancellation), we are flexible – we track your flight actively and often reach out before you do.
Data protection. GDPR-compliant data handling. We use your data only for the booking and the communication around your trip. Personal data is deleted according to statutory retention periods once the business relationship ends.
Response to feedback. We respond to every review – positive or critical. Critical feedback is discussed internally and leads to concrete service adjustments, not marketing copy. If something goes wrong, tell us – and you'll get a straight answer.
