The station provides an integrated transfer facility with the buses of the Zimmerberg bus line, which operate from a bus station immediately adjacent to the railway station. Ships of the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft call at a pier on the lakeside immediately adjacent to the station, whilst the Horgen–Meilen car ferry operates from a terminal some 600 metres (2,000 ft) to the south-east along the lakeside promenade.

Horgen station should not be confused with the nearby, but higher level, Horgen Oberdorf railway station, which is on the Thalwil–Arth-Goldau railway. The two stations are approximately 0.9 kilometres (0.56 mi) apart on foot.
