A self-catering stay may involve luggage that a hotel weekend does not: household supplies, a few familiar food items and extra bags for the first evening. Decide what you will actually bring from Zurich, then include those containers in the Davos transfer enquiry.
Ask the host what is provided
Check the apartment information and ask the host about items that materially affect your packing. Avoid bringing bulky duplicates simply because the listing was unclear. Keep the reply where everyone packing for the household can find it. If a particular item matters to you, obtain a specific answer rather than inferring it from photographs. The result should be a deliberate list of what travels, not a collection of precautionary bags.
Count supplies in their final containers
If household items travel in a box, describe its dimensions and whether it is rigid. If groceries or other supplies are carried in separate bags from Zurich, include them alongside the suitcases and family equipment. A standard bag allowance should not be interpreted as permission to add unlimited shopping bags. Tell the booking team about the actual containers and ask it to assess the complete load before choosing the vehicle category.
Keep shopping and the road journey distinct
If you want to visit a shop during the transfer, request that stop before confirming the booking and describe the likely additional load. Do not assume it is included in the published Zurich–Davos fare. Travellers bringing items by air should consult the operating airline and Zurich Airport’s permitted-baggage information for what they intend to pack. The transfer provider’s vehicle confirmation does not establish what can be taken on the flight.
Plan the apartment unloading
Ask the host for the agreed arrival entrance and how the key handover will work. Organise the luggage so that the items needed first are easy to identify after unloading, without requiring access to every case. Before leaving Davos, review reusable boxes, unused supplies and purchases as part of the return inventory. Send any material change to the transfer team and remove ambiguity about which bags will accompany the passengers back to Zurich.
