From the Bavarian capital to Salzburg in well under two hours. South-east on the A8 past Rosenheim and the Chiemsee, over the border at Walserberg and into Salzburg — a private car from your Munich hotel or Munich Airport to your door in Salzburg.
Drive from Munich to Salzburg in about 1h 40m. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us where to collect you in Munich or at the airport, where you are staying in Salzburg, and whether you would like a stop at the Chiemsee on the way.
Pickup at your hotel, apartment or address in Munich, at München Hauptbahnhof, or at Munich Airport (MUC). From the city the road leaves by Rosenheimer Straße for the A8 towards Salzburg.
Past Rosenheim the A8 runs along the Chiemsee, Bavaria’s largest lake. Prien, the market town on its shore, is a short hop off the motorway — about 12 minutes of extra driving, plus the time you spend by the lake.
After Bad Reichenhall the German A8 meets the Austrian A1 at Walserberg. The crossing is Schengen-internal; police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so keep a passport or national ID card at hand.
A few kilometres on the A1 bring you into Salzburg: drop-off at your hotel or address in the city, or at Salzburg Airport (SZG) just west of the centre if you fly on.
Per vehicle, not per person. Every quote includes tolls, fuel, the cross-border route, assistance with loading and unloading luggage, and child seats available on request.

Munich Airport (MUC) lies north-east of Munich near Freising, so the drive to Salzburg is longer from there than from the city: about 184 km and just under 2 hours on the A92, A9, A99 and A8. We collect you at the terminal and go straight on, with no need to enter Munich. Mention the airport pickup and your flight number in your request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
Travelling the other way? Salzburg to Munich takes the same A8 back into Bavaria.
Salzburg → Munich →Munich to Salzburg is a short international drive: about 145 km. From the city the A8 runs south-east past Rosenheim, along the Chiemsee and by Bad Reichenhall to the Austrian border at Walserberg, and the A1 West Autobahn covers the last few kilometres into Salzburg. Allow about 1h 40m without stops.
Direct trains run between Munich and Salzburg, and long-distance coach journeys operate on the route too; check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer saves the change between your hotel and the station at both ends: we collect you at your Munich address or the airport and drop you at your door in Salzburg, luggage and all.
Germany and Austria are both in the Schengen area, so the Walserberg crossing is internal, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur. Every passenger should keep a valid passport or national ID card within reach; allow some flexibility in journey time if you have a fixed appointment or a flight.
We collect you from hotels, apartments and addresses in Munich, from München Hauptbahnhof, or from Munich Airport (MUC). Address pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting. In Salzburg we drop off at your hotel or address in the city, or at Salzburg Airport (SZG), about 6 km from the centre.
