Vienna to Linz by private car: route and driving time
Vienna to Linz is around 185 kilometres, and the drive usually takes just under two hours. Your chauffeur takes the A1 West Autobahn past St. Pölten and Melk and brings you directly to your address in Linz.
Whether it is a company in the port district, a hotel on the Danube, a congress at the Design Center or the university, we drive right up to the entrance. The city itself is introduced by Linz Tourism.
You choose the class for the journey: E-Class for up to 3 people with 2 suitcases, S-Class for a representative appearance, V-Class for up to 7 people and 6 suitcases, or the Sprinter for groups of 9 to 21. All vehicles are no more than 36 months old.
Linz lies exactly halfway to Salzburg. If you are travelling on, you will find the details on our page for the private transfer from Vienna to Salzburg.
Vienna to Linz private car for a business meeting – the driver waits
For a business meeting in Linz your chauffeur stays with you all day. He takes you there, waits nearby and drives you back to Vienna after the meeting. You travel without a timetable and do not arrive at your appointment in a rush.
On the way you can work on Wi-Fi, prepare documents or make calls. Several appointments at different addresses in Linz are no problem; we include the waiting time in the fixed price.
Companies book days like this regularly, often for board members, clients or auditors, and receive an invoice made out to the business. More about this service is on our business chauffeur in Vienna page.
Vienna airport to Linz transfer without changing
From Vienna Airport we drive you directly to Linz, without a detour through the city centre and without changing trains. Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall and takes care of your luggage.
If your flight is delayed, there are no extra charges, and up to one hour of waiting time at the airport is free. If you are looking for a classic taxi from Vienna Airport to Linz, you get the same with us, only with a fixed price confirmed in advance and the vehicle of your choice.
In the other direction we collect you in Linz and bring you to Schwechat in good time for your flight, even early in the morning. For very early flights, a car with us is often the only way to reach the terminal on time without an overnight stay in Vienna.
Stops between Vienna and Linz
The West Autobahn passes several places worth a stop. On request we plan them in:
- Melk Abbey, right beside the motorway, for a visit of one to two hours
- St. Pölten, capital of Lower Austria, for an appointment on the way
- The Wachau Valley as a detour along the Danube, more scenic than the motorway
- Mauthausen Memorial, east of Linz, for a quiet visit
- Pöstlingberg in Linz, with views over the city and the Danube
Train, bus or private car from Vienna to Linz?
For one person going from Vienna Hauptbahnhof straight to Linz Hauptbahnhof, the train is fast and inexpensive, especially during the day and with little luggage. From the airport the train also works, but usually involves a change.
A private transfer fits better when your destination is away from the station, you start at the airport, travel as a group or plan a day with a meeting and return trip. You save changes, taxis and waiting on the platform. An overview of other long routes is on our page for long-distance transfers from Vienna.

Vienna airport to Linz – frequently asked questions
How much is a private car from Vienna to Linz?
You receive a fixed price per vehicle on request. It depends on the route, vehicle class and any waiting time in Linz. No meter is running, and traffic on the A1 is not charged to you, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
How long is the drive from Vienna to Linz?
Usually just under two hours for around 185 kilometres. From Vienna Airport add roughly 20 to 30 minutes. Roadworks or holiday traffic can make it longer, which does not affect the fixed price.
Does the driver wait in Linz during my meeting?
Yes. For a business day we include the waiting time in the offer. The chauffeur stays nearby and is back with you within a few minutes after the meeting, ready for the drive home.
Do you drive from Vienna airport to Linz directly?
Yes. The chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall and drives to Linz without a detour. If your flight is delayed, there are no extra charges, and one hour of waiting time is free of charge.
Is there a fixed-price taxi from Vienna Airport to Linz?
Yes, in effect. We drive without a taxi meter and confirm the price in advance, and exactly that amount is charged. You also choose the vehicle class yourself, from E-Class to Sprinter.
Can I stop at Melk on the way?
Yes. Melk Abbey lies right beside the West Autobahn. A stop of one to two hours is easy to plan; just mention it in your request so that the timing and price include it.
Can I attend several meetings in Linz in one day?
Yes. Give us the addresses and approximate times. The chauffeur drives you from appointment to appointment and waits each time, all within the agreed fixed price for your private car from Vienna to Linz.
Is the train to Linz not faster?
From main station to main station it often is. If your destination is away from the station, you start at the airport or you travel as a group, the private transfer from Vienna to Linz door to door is usually more convenient.
More questions from our guests
How many people fit in the vehicle?
Up to 3 people in the E-Class or S-Class, up to 7 in the van and 9 to 21 in the Sprinter. The price is per vehicle, not per person.
Are child seats available?
Yes, free of charge. Give us the age or weight of your children in your request so the right seat is in the vehicle. Breaks at service areas on the West Autobahn are possible at any time.
How far ahead should I book?
A few days ahead is ideal, a little earlier for full-day business trips. Short-notice requests are often possible too.
Which vehicle suits business partners?
For a representative appearance the S-Class, for teams the V-Class. The exact model depends on availability and may be a similar vehicle.
Can I plan a visit to Mauthausen?
Yes. The memorial lies east of Linz. We drive you there and wait; please book any guided tour directly with the memorial.
How do I reach the driver during the day?
You receive his phone number with your confirmation and can call him or send a WhatsApp message at any time.
