Is Geneva Airport in France or Switzerland?

Geneva Airport is on Swiss territory. It also has a French sector (Pier F) that can be reached directly from France, but most international flights arrive on the Swiss side.

Should I exit on the Swiss or the French side of Geneva Airport?

Most passengers exit on the Swiss side, where your chauffeur waits in the main arrivals hall. If your flight arrives in the French sector, tell us when booking and we adapt the meeting point.

How much is a taxi from Geneva Airport to the city centre?

Taxis at the rank run on a meter, so the fare depends on traffic and the exact address. A private transfer to the city centre is a fixed price from CHF 80 in a Mercedes E-Class.

Is there free public transport from Geneva Airport?

Yes. Arriving passengers can take a free ticket for Geneva public transport from the machine in the baggage reclaim area. It is practical for travellers with light luggage going to the city.

Can I use a ride-hailing app at Geneva Airport?

Ride-hailing apps operate in Geneva, but prices change with demand and the cars are not always suited to skis, large luggage or long Alpine routes. A pre-booked private transfer has a fixed price in CHF and a confirmed vehicle.

Should I tip my chauffeur in Switzerland?

Tipping is not mandatory in Switzerland, as service is included in the price. If you are happy with the service, a tip is always appreciated but entirely up to you.

Where do skis and snowboards come out at Geneva Airport?

Skis and snowboards are not delivered on the standard baggage belts but at the oversized baggage counters of the reclaim hall. Your chauffeur waits while you collect them.

What is Terminal 2 at Geneva Airport?

Terminal 2 is a smaller seasonal terminal used mainly for winter charter flights, often on Saturdays. It is linked to Terminal 1 by a short covered walkway, and we can meet you there.

Where do private jets arrive at Geneva Airport?

Private and charter flights use the business aviation terminal, about 2 km from the main terminal. Your chauffeur can meet you there, according to the handling agent’s rules.

How much does a chauffeur or limousine service cost in Geneva?

For a transfer between Geneva Airport and the city, the fixed price starts at CHF 80 in a Mercedes E-Class and CHF 120 in an S-Class. A chauffeur by the hour is quoted as a fixed price in CHF.

Can I hire a chauffeur by the hour in Geneva?

Yes. A chauffeur at disposal stays with you for meetings, shopping or sightseeing, and you pay a fixed price in CHF agreed in advance.

Our prices are in Swiss francs and are paid online by card when you book; your bank converts the amount if your card is in another currency.

Is a shared shuttle cheaper than a private transfer?

Per seat, a shared shuttle is usually cheaper, but it stops for other passengers and runs at fixed times. For a family or a group, a private vehicle priced per vehicle is often comparable and much more direct.

What happens if my flight is cancelled?

Tell us as soon as you know. We move your transfer to your new flight whenever possible; the conditions are set out in your booking confirmation.

Do I need a passport to travel from Geneva to France or Italy?

Switzerland, France and Italy are in the Schengen area, but checks can take place at the border. Always carry a valid passport or national ID card.

A Service in Practice

The day before, your chauffeur receives the full programme: passenger names, addresses, timings, flight numbers and any special instructions. On the day, the vehicle is cleaned and checked, and the chauffeur is at the meeting point ahead of time. At the airport, he waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign; at a hotel or office, he waits at the entrance and sends a message when the car is ready. If your plans change, an extra stop or a later return is arranged with our Geneva team in real time. At the end, you receive a receipt in CHF, and companies receive a detailed invoice.

The main points of this service are: door-to-door trips to Paris, Milan, Munich, Nice and beyond; an alternative to short flights and train changes; rest stops planned on request; one fixed CHF price for the whole journey. Each one is agreed in advance and confirmed in writing, so you and your guests know exactly what to expect, at a fixed price in Swiss francs.

Our Chauffeurs

Every chauffeur holds the Swiss professional licence for passenger transport and has several years of experience on the roads of Geneva, the Lake Geneva region and the Alps. They speak English and French, and several also speak German, Italian or Russian. Chauffeurs are trained in meet and greet at the airport, in winter mountain driving and in discreet service for business and VIP guests. They wear a dark suit, arrive ahead of time and help with luggage at every stop. Before each trip they check the route, the traffic and, in winter, the road conditions in the mountains, and they carry a phone charger, bottled water and an umbrella for every passenger.

Private Chauffeur, Taxi or Ride-Hailing App?

Private chauffeur — booked in advance, fixed price in CHF, the same professional from pickup to drop-off, recent Mercedes vehicles and help with luggage.
Taxi — available at the rank, on a meter, with the vehicle you find on the day.
Ride-hailing app — quick for short city rides, but with prices that change with demand and drivers who may not know the mountain roads.

For airport arrivals, long distances, groups and important meetings, a private chauffeur removes the uncertainty of the day.

Service Area

We start from Geneva Airport, Cornavin station, hotels, offices and private addresses in Geneva, and drive anywhere in Switzerland, France and Italy: Lausanne, Montreux, Bern, Zurich and Basel; Annecy, Lyon, Chamonix and the French ski resorts; Milan, Turin, Lake Como and the Aosta Valley. Long-distance trips to Paris, Nice, Monaco or Munich are available with one chauffeur for the whole journey.

Arriving at Geneva Airport: Step by Step

Geneva Airport has one main terminal on the Swiss side and a French sector for some flights. After passport control and baggage claim, you walk into the public arrivals hall, where your chauffeur waits with a sign showing your name. If you need more time at baggage claim or customs, simply send a message to the number in your confirmation: the chauffeur waits for you. The vehicle is parked a few minutes away, and the chauffeur loads your luggage while you settle in. Bottled water is on board, and the journey to Geneva starts straight away.

For departures, the chauffeur picks you up at your address and drops you at the departures level of Geneva Airport, close to the check-in desks of your airline.

Season by Season

The route to Geneva is busy all year. Demand rises during trade fairs, congresses and major events, and around school holidays. In winter many travellers combine a stay in Geneva with a few days in the Alps, and we can drive you from the city to the ski resorts. Whatever the season, the fixed price in CHF is confirmed before you pay.

Group, Corporate and Event Bookings

For companies, associations and event organisers, we coordinate several vehicles arriving at the same time, with one contact person and one invoice. A Sprinter van carries 8 to 16 passengers with luggage, and V-Class vans can be added for flexibility. Corporate clients can open an account with monthly invoicing, saved addresses and preferred vehicles. Event organisers receive a transport plan with names, flights and pickup times so that every guest is welcomed on arrival in Geneva and driven to Geneva without waiting.

Why a Local Geneva Company

Unlike international booking platforms, Geneva Airport Transfer Service is based in Geneva and runs its own service. You deal directly with the team that plans your trip, knows the airport and drives the roads to Geneva every week. Questions are answered by phone or WhatsApp at any hour, changes are handled quickly, and the person who confirms your booking is part of the same company as your chauffeur. Prices are fixed in Swiss francs, with no commission added by an intermediary.

Special Requests and Accessibility

Tell us what you need when you book and we prepare the trip in advance. We can plan extra time for passengers with reduced mobility, fold a wheelchair into the luggage space, add a stop for a pharmacy or a meal, or keep the cabin quiet so you can rest. Families can ask for baby seats, child seats and boosters adapted to the age of each child. Travellers with large items, such as golf bags, bicycles, musical instruments, should mention them so we choose a vehicle with enough room. Pets travel in a suitable carrier on request.
