 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm researching a private transfer from Innsbruck Airport to Lech for 4 people in January. The cheapest service I can find is www.taxiizgi.com, at EUR360, return.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience of them, positive or negative?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

No experience with both.
Would expect that that the Lechtaxi minibus price is one-way only...
I do know Der Lecher, but they are expensive. Locals though, which can be an essential asset in case of bad weather. Been there. They saved us when our booked taxi from Innsbruck didn't show up due to heavy snow.

Never used or heard of them but the website is pretty suspect. Dodgy translations copied all over the place on the lower part of the home page, no impressum (illegal in AT and GER), and email address to a different business (Tirol Taxi, who are legit).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@koru, Why not get train to St Anton from IBK and Post Bus (or taxi if preferred, loads to choose from based in St Anton) to/ from Lech - for a fraction of the cost?
Never heard of them and we use taxis around Anton and Lech a lot in winter, sounds dodgy to me.

A private transfer is a fraction of the time and much less hassle. Between 4 people, the price isn't bad.

Thanks for the comments about not having heard of Izgi. Worth being cautious.

@koru, Looks dodgy to me, give them a call and see what you get? A lot of these companies are run from outside Austria, I used one a few years ago and I had poor service, late pick ups etc. Like I said above i'd personally get train to St Anton and get a local taxi from there.

Or Innsbruck-Landeck train. Postbus to Lech. Admittedly only done that once but very smooth. Postbuses seem to be scheduled to be waiting for the train (right outside Landeck Station) or arrive very soon after. Seems amazing after the s**tshow that passes for public transport here.

I have had several good experiences with Innsbruck based companies. But, as mentioned, some bad ones too. Always when it was snowing.
One time we had a very friendly driver from Greece. It turned out he was driving the route for the first time, and did not yet practice with snowchains. Luckily the sun was shining

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Why are looking for the CHEAPEST taxi transfer service?
Have you booked the cheapest accommodation you can find, or somewhere that you really like the look of?
Will you look for the cheapest ski rental, or pick the best service?
Will you be looking for the cheapest restaurants in Lech, or those offering the best food?
Will you look for the cheapest ski school, or the one that's nearest to your accommodation?
Will you search for the cheapest bar, or drink excessively overpriced drinks at the hotel bar because it's nice and convenient?
Lech is one of the most expensive ski resorts in the Austrian Alps, so why look for the cheapest transfer?
Surely paying a bit more for a reputable transfer company that you don't have to spend any time worrying about, is going to be a drop in the ocean in comparison to your overall holiday costs.
Okay the taxi companies based in the Arlberg resorts are charging € 350 each way this season, which is a high price, but you can find some of the best transfer companies charging € 230 - € 260 each way between Innsbruck airport and Lech.
A private transfer is a luxury, and not a necessity. But it can also highly improve your holiday experience. Or ruin it if you choose a bad one.
