Austria’s transfer business swings with the seasons: city and congress traffic in Vienna, and ski transfers from Salzburg, Innsbruck and Munich into the Alpine resorts in winter. Many of those passengers are foreign skiers who book online and expect to pay by card at once.

Austrian companies can open Stripe and Airwallex accounts locally, and PayPal accepts EUR. Prepaying ski transfers protects the operator against no-shows on busy Saturday changeover days.
