Defined terms
Chauffeur & booking vocabulary
- Closer
- Closer (SK Closer Taxi KG) is a Vienna-based premium chauffeur company offering Mercedes-Benz private transport, airport transfers, city-to-city rides, hourly hire, and sightseeing tours across Austria and Europe.
- Chauffeur service
- Professional private driver with a premium vehicle — not a shared taxi or ride-hail pool. Closer chauffeurs are vetted, discreet, and drive Mercedes-Benz E-Class, S-Class, or V-Class vehicles.
- City-to-city ride
- A pre-booked private transfer between two cities (e.g. Vienna → Munich). Also called a long-haul ride. Fixed route, door-to-door, priced by distance tier — not metered like a local taxi.
- Zone A
- Closer pricing zone: a 25 km radius from central Vienna (48.2082°N, 16.3738°E). Trips where pickup or drop-off lies in Zone A qualify for automated online pricing. Both endpoints outside Zone A may require a custom quote.
- Executive (vehicle class)
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class tier — the standard Closer vehicle for business travel. Booking ID: executive.
- First (vehicle class)
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class / luxury tier for maximum comfort and discretion. Booking ID: first.
- Business Van (vehicle class)
- Mercedes-Benz V-Class for groups, luggage, or families. Booking ID: business-van.
- Hourly hire
- Chauffeur booked by the hour (minimum 2 hours) with 20 km included per hour. Extra kilometres billed at the vehicle's per-km rate. Suitable for multi-stop days or as-directed service in Vienna.
- Meet & greet
- Chauffeur meets the passenger inside the terminal (VIE arrivals) with a name board. Recommended for international arrivals and first-time visitors.
- VIE
- Vienna International Airport (Flughafen Wien-Schwechat, IATA: VIE). Closer's primary airport transfer hub.
- Lead time
- Minimum advance notice before pickup. Closer requires ≥ 2 hours for daytime bookings (06:00–20:59). Night bookings (21:00–05:59) are accepted for pickup from 09:00 the same or next day.
- Price on request
- When both pickup and destination fall outside Zone A, automated pricing may not apply. Closer provides a custom quote via email or phone instead of instant checkout.
- Geo landing page
- A page such as /chauffeur-dubai-to-vienna describing chauffeur service in Vienna for travellers who fly to VIE from that origin — not a road transfer from the origin city to Vienna.
