need a person to drive me from Zurich to Dusseldorf

I am looking for a person to drive from Zurich to Dusseldorf in between 9-10th of May.

We (me and my girlfriend) have a flight to catch at 06:25 on 10th of May so would need to leave Zurich at midnight in order not to rush it.

If you have a car and can drive then drop me a PM and let me know what price you can offer.

Cheers
Magnus

Re: need a person to drive me from Zurich to Dusseldorf

You could get a train from Basel Bad Station to Düsseldorf airport leaving Basel at 2022 on the evening of the 9th arriving at the airport at 0240 the next morning (with a change n Frankfurt) and it will cost you all of 19 EUR per person.

Much cheaper, easier and safer than taking the car....

Quote: I arrive on the 9th from South America at 19:00 and wont make the last plane or train....as my flight is from Dusseldorf at 06:25 (airberlin changed it from 11:00 to 06:25!!)

But he arrives in Zurich at 19:00 That leaves only 1h 22min to go from Zurich to Basel Badische Bahnhof.

SBB Zurich airport 19:04, Basel Bad BHf 20:41

Quote: Basel Bad Station to Düsseldorf airport leaving Basel at 20:22

It can't be done by train.

Re: need a person to drive me from Zurich to Dusseldorf

Try to find here: http://www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de/

This is the ride sharing website, where you can find someone who is going to Dussldorf at the same time and wants to share the cost of fuel.

Good luck!

Re: need a person to drive me from Zurich to Dusseldorf

Swiss has a flight to Dusseldorf at 20:40.
I think that is much more convenient than the car and probably just as expensive.

927 CHF each one way.

At least 312 CHF each if they book a return.



Gotta love those crazy airline price schemes.

Did I miss something in the original post?????

And anyway, leaving Zurich at midnight (as the OP suggested) for a 6am flight from Düsseldorf would be dodgy to say the least....

Re: need a person to drive me from Zurich to Dusseldorf

There are plenty of us here who need work.

This post should be in a section talking about transport, and the best way to get from A to B, not replying to someone offering work, and discouraging them from doing so.

Re: need a person to drive me from Zurich to Dusseldorf

Rather than taking a "what's in it for me?" stance, I was trying to be helpful to the OP, not knowing at the time that the train times would not work.

The advantages of taking the train are that:

a) It's safer
b) In this case it would be cheaper
c) It would get them to the airport in good time without having to worry about roadworks, flat tires, broken engines, etc...

I didn't realise that this forum was there to ensure that members got work rather than trying to assist members find the most practical and beneficial solutions to a problem/issue. Obviously you and I see things differently.

I really don't see the point of the groan on Snoop.
