Private driver from rivercruse port in basel switzerland to Lucerne to Zurich

Hello,
Need help finding a private or local driver that will pick us up from our river cruise in Basel, Switzerland and take us to Lucerne, keep in mind we will need to keep our luggage stored with the driver and then after we are done exploring Lucerne, (about 5-6 hours) take us to our hotel in Zurich next to the Zurich airport. Does anyone know where I can get help with this?

Thanks,
Kris

Any reason you don't want to just take the train, store luggage in a locker in Luzern station, then take a train to Zurich airport?
Assuming this is a long time from now, you could buy a Saver Day several months in advance for 52 CHF per person and cover al transportation, plus local transport and lake boats in Luzern. I would guess that a private driver for the day would run about 1000 CHF. Switzerland is not a cheap country.

No experience with private drivers because, like most people, I take advantage of the terrific Swiss Rail System. I have used the Welcome Pickups company in other countries and you might try them to see if them could provide a driver for the day.

Is your flight out from Zurich early in the morning? If not, would it work to take the train to Luzern, drop bags at a hotel near train station (there are several), stay the night and then take the very short train ride to Zurich airport in the morning? The train takes between 42 minute and an hour and leaves frequently.
