Over 150 kilometres a meter doesn't make sense – and that's exactly where the classic Munich-Salzburg taxi falls down.
How a classic Munich airport taxi to Salzburg typically plays out: you climb in at the Terminal 1 or 2 rank, the driver starts the meter (Munich airport Zone IV with cross-zone surcharge), and from kilometre 50 the rate rises because you've left the Munich administrative area. On A8 stops between Holzkirchen and Bad Reichenhall – very common in summer and ski season – the wait-time tariff kicks in. Weekend, night or holiday: +15–30%. The result: €280 is the floor, €350 is no anomaly, and you don't know where you'll land before booking.
Our flat rate kills that risk. €220 in Economy for 1–4 people with luggage, €260 in a Mercedes E-Class, €280 in a Vito for up to 8 people. German motorway toll and Austrian vignette included. Traffic, wait, weekend, night – the price doesn't move. You pay what was confirmed in writing before booking.
What a flat-rate taxi from Munich Airport to Salzburg means concretely: you book online (five minutes), enter your flight number, the system tracks your flight from departure, your chauffeur is at the Terminal 1 or 2 meeting point with your name, takes the luggage, and four minutes later you're on the motorway. 1h 45 later you pull up at Hotel Sacher or Bristol, the 60-minute free-wait window already absorbed.
We drive this route several times a day. We know the bottlenecks on the A8 (Holzkirchen interchange, Bad Aibling on-ramp, Bad Reichenhall border crossing), the fastest fallback when stuck (Inntal A93 + Walserberg), and the hotel etiquette in Salzburg (no horn in Sacher's courtyard, quiet arrival at the Goldener Hirsch, automatic luggage handling). That's the gap between a metered taxi and a premium chauffeur at a taxi price.

Where the chauffeur meets you in Munich – T1, T2 and the MUC Satellite
Terminal 1 (Lufthansa Cargo, Easyjet, Eurowings, smaller carriers): we meet you in the central arrivals zone of Module B Hall, right after customs. The default spot is the pillar by Café Lebensart – our chauffeurs stand there with a name sign, in suit.
Terminal 2 (Lufthansa, Star Alliance, ANA, United, Air China): meeting point is Level 03, in the central service area in front of the MUC Hospitality Desk. On late-night arrivals (after 23:00) we meet you directly at baggage claim, because the service hall is closed by then.
MUC Satellite (Terminal 2 Satellite, intercontinental gates): after the people-mover transfer back to the main building we meet you at the information desk in Module E. Please budget 10 extra minutes for the transfer.
Parking situation: we use Premium Lot P20 (Terminal 1) or P26 (Terminal 2) with short-stay access. Parking fees are included in the flat rate, you pay nothing extra. We email the prepaid Austrian vignette QR code before the trip if requested.
Return leg (Salzburg → Munich Airport): we pick you up at the hotel 3 hours before intercontinental flights and 2 hours before Schengen flights. Standard check-in buffer baked in. During festival weeks we recommend an extra 30 minutes because old-town exit routes can be event-restricted.
