The EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (BSL/MLH) is an essential platform for Alsatian travellers. With its many low-cost airlines (EasyJet, Wizz Air) and international connections, it often offers more options than Entzheim airport. However, a major challenge remains for the people of Strasbourg: it is located about 130 km south of Strasbourg.
How do you get to this airport early in the morning or late at night with bulky luggage? The train requires tiring connections, and leaving your car in the airport parking lot costs a fortune. The preferred solution for smart travelers and professionals is the long-distance VTC transfer. Find out why choosing VTC Strasbourg DMD for your Strasbourg – Basel route is the best investment for your peace of mind.

This is the absolute advantage of the VTC over all other modes of transport. If you opt for the train (TER Alsace), your journey looks like an obstacle course:
- Journey from home to > Strasbourg train station (Tram or Taxi).
- Train Strasbourg -> Saint-Louis station (about 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, often standing at rush hour).
- Shuttle Bus > Airport (waiting in the cold, loading suitcases in the hold).
With VTC Strasbourg DMD, the scenario is different. Your driver will pick you up at the foot of your building or in front of your hotel in Strasbourg. It loads your suitcases. You sit in the back. The next stop? This is the departures terminal of EuroAirport.
During the 1h15 to 1h30 journey (depending on traffic), you can sleep, work or simply admire the landscape of the Alsace plain, without ever having to watch your luggage or run for a connection.
2. Full transparency on prices (Fixed Plan)
Driving 130 kilometres in a traditional taxi with a speedometer running can be a source of financial anxiety. A traffic jam near Colmar or work on the A35, and the final bill soars.
✅ The DMD Guarantee:
For long-distance journeys such as Strasbourg – Basel Mulhouse, we apply a flat rate fixed in advance.
When you book online or by phone, the price announced is the final price. It includes:
- The driver’s approach.
- Fuel and possible tolls.
- Travel time, regardless of traffic hazards.
- Baggage handling.
3. Ideal for early or late flights
Many low-cost flights from Basel take off very early (6:00 a.m.) or land very late (11:00 p.m.).
At these extreme hours:
- The first trains have not yet left or the last ones have already passed.
- Shuttle buses are less frequent.
- Asking a loved one to make a 2h30 round trip in the middle of the night is tricky.
Our VTC drivers are available 24/7 by reservation. We pick you up at 3:00 am in Strasbourg and drop you off at 4:30 am sharp in front of your departure hall. Your punctuality is our priority, because we know that a plane doesn’t wait.
4. Travel Business Class on the Highway
The transfer from Strasbourg to Basel is long enough for the comfort of the vehicle to be a determining factor. Forget the stiff seats of the TER.

- Dual-zone air conditioning: Set the temperature to your liking.
- Connectivity: USB chargers and cables available to arrive at the airport with a 100% charged phone.

7. FAQ – Transfer Strasbourg / Basel Mulhouse
How long should I plan for the journey?
In normal conditions, the journey takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. However, the A35 motorway can be busy in the morning towards Colmar and Mulhouse. We always advise you to allow an additional 30 minutes of safety margin. When booking, we will advise you on the ideal departure time.
Do you accept skis or large luggage?
Yes! That’s the advantage of our VTC Vans. If you are going skiing or expedition with a lot of equipment, please mention this when booking. Our spacious vehicles can accommodate up to 7 passengers and their bulky equipment, which is impossible in a standard sedan.

The safety of children is paramount, especially on a 130 km motorway journey. We provide free car seats and booster seats that comply with safety standards. Please specify the age of the children when ordering.
