We are looking for a private transfer from Melk to Vienna next week. Any recommendations? We have luggage so do not believe train is the best option.

Well, the train takes about an hour and costs about 25€ a ticket. People do bring luggage on trains and there are racks to put the luggage.
Daytrip.com is a fair reading of the going price for a private transfer. They want 287€ (welcome to Austria ching, ching, ching) which is about 10 times more expensive than 2 tickets on the train once you figure in the cost of getting to the train stations with all of your luggage. Daytrip.com will pick you up at one hotel and drop you at the next, which is easier than schlepping luggage across town from train stations. They also have 5 stock stops that they offer for some sightseeing along the way. They run 40 to 50€ a stop. Do one or two of those and the private transfer has a lot more value.
