Frequently asked questions
Below are some of the questions we regularly get asked, along with the answer. If you can't find the answer to your question below, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Making a booking
Email us as soon as possible with the details of the change. We will amend the booking and send back a revised booking confirmation.
Every passenger, now matter how young, requires by law their own seat. Therefore the number of passengers you book needs to include children and infants. The correct size baby seat or booster cushion is provided, free-of-charge, for every child. Please submit details of your requirements as part of booking. By law, no children may travel on the laps of adults during the journey.
Please see the 'transfer types' faq for details
Private and Priority transfers can request specific pick up times. However, for people leaving resort to meet departing flights we can recommend a suitable time to leave that takes into account any likely delays due to traffic and weather conditions. Book a Priority or Private transfer on this site then email us with your pickup time details and we will amend the booking.
Private and Priority transfers can be picked up from hotels near the airport. Shared transfers must be picked up in arrivals. Book a normal airport transfer on the website then email us to tell us what hotel you want to be picked up from (please also include a pickup time)
Not always. Most of the time all we need is the name of the building where you are staying. If you think you are staying somewhere 'off the beaten track' then just put the building name down and bring detailed directions with you. If necessary, we will contact you to ask you to provide these in advance.
It is very helpful to have a mobile number, in case the office, or your driver, needs to contact you. Please provide a number, giving the full international dialing code. E.g +44 7787 1234 567. We don't use this number to send you any marketing info. Only to help us make things run smoothly.
If meeting you from an arriving flight, we need your flight number in order to track your progress. This means we can re-plan our schedule if you are late. Flight numbers can be found on your flight ticket and normally look something like 'EZS6457'
Please see the luggage FAQs for details
Certainly. Our vehicles take up to 8 passengers, so groups of 9 or more will need to be split. To keep things cost effective, why not book a private transfer for 8 then a shared transfer for the remaining members of your group. This works really well with groups of 9 or 10. Use the shopping basket facility of the website to book multiple transfers.
Lots. We have a fleet of over 20 vehicles. We also work with local coach companies, so we can provide transport for any group size. Email us for a quote.
Types of transfer
This is the budget option, ideal for individuals or small groups. For flight arrivals, you may have to wait up to 90 mins at the airport for other passengers to arrive. For flight departures, you may need to leave up to 5 hours before your flight departs to fit in with other passengers timings. The vehicle you travel in may detour to other resorts before dropping you off.
The best of both worlds. You have a vehicle assigned to your group. This vehicle leaves according to your timings. No waiting or leaving early. Because our vehicles can carry up to 8 passengers, we may add other passengers on. However, the vehicle will only stop at resorts en route to pick up and drop off these passengers. There will be no deviations to other resorts.
A private transfer is, as the name implies, for you and your group alone. No other passengers share this. The driver leaves when you are ready and takes you directly to the door of your destination. Great for larger groups.

On the day of the transfer
Full details of where you will be met are provided on your booking confirmation. For flight arrivals at Geneva, it can vary, depending on whether you are arriving on a weekday or at the weekend. Almost all other pickup points will be at the door of the building specified. Please read your booking confirmation carefully. If your pickup point is difficult to find (Geneva train station, etc), we will send you extra information by text or email.
This depends on the type of transfer you have booked and is detailed on your booking confirmation. For transfers to flight departures, your pickup time will be confirmed to you by text the evening before. This is because the transfer time can vary due to snow and traffic conditions and we aim to get you to the airport at least 2 hours before your flight.
Please contact us using the number on your booking confirmation as soon as you know of any delays. We will then do our best to make alternate arrangements for your transfer.
This is often very tricky, because supermarkets are not open all the time in France (lunch times, Sundays, public holidays, etc). Prior agreement from us is required and are charged at 15 € per half hour of waiting. On Saturdays and Sundays, our busy schedule means it is rarely possible. However, we advise that you shop at the MIGROS supermarket located in Geneva airport's train station. This very near to where we meet you, it has a good range of produce and is as cheap as the French supermarkets. More details can be found on the Geneva airport website. Please always bring reuseable bags with you for shopping. French supermarkets no longer supply plastic bags, even upon request.
If you need to pick up anything before going to your accommodation, our usual procedure is to drop off 1 member of the group to pick up the keys then take the rest of the group to the door of the accommodation. The driver can rarely wait for keys, etc to be picked up as it can take a long time. If you would rather, we can drop the whole group at the place where you pick up the keys. The pick up location for the return will always be at the door of the accommodation, not the place where you drop your keys.
All administration (key and linen drop off, etc) must be completed prior to the driver picking you up. We never allocate time for you to do these tasks with the driver. Doing so will make both the driver and you late and the driver may have to refuse your request.
The number you must call if you are experiencing any difficulties is detailed on your booking confirmation. Please ensure you have a copy of this available for when you travel
Always use the international dialling code and drop the '0' from the from the number. For example, our operations number 09 70 44 61 10 should be called using the number +33 9 70 44 61 10 or 0033 9 70 44 61 10
Our drivers are selected based on safe driving skills, reliability and courtesy. If you feel they have been especially helpful, tipping is at your discretion. But the drivers do always appreciate the tips, especially if they have gone out of their way to be extra helpful
If you haven't specified an exact drop off location, we will normally drop you off in the centre of the town / village where you have booked to.
You will usually travel in one of our Renault Trafic or Nissan Primastar minibuses. These have ample room for up to 8 passengers to travel in comfort with plenty of baggage space. All vehicles are in excellent condition, have climate control, are equipped with winter tyres and have snow chains.
Eating and drinking is not permitted in our vehicles. This includes baby food. If you have a strict meal time regime, please allow for this in your travel plans. Maybe it is best to request a specific ‘pick up’ time in such circumstances.
If you or any of your party feel car sick please inform the driver immediately. He can slow down or stop if necessary. Adults please monitor your children, this will be the first time some of them have travelled on such roads, they will not always be aware that they are sick. Please ask the driver for a sick bag if you think any of your group may be car sick. Please be aware that children playing computer games or reading books are likely to be car sick.We charge a 50euro cleaning fee for any passengers soiling our vehicles.
Our drivers are only responsible for the passengers booked onto the transfers. They cannot be held responsible or act as guides for people travelling to or from the airport in rental cars. If you have friends or family in hire cars please make sure they know how to get to and from the airport.
Flight arrivals & departures
Details of the meeting place can be found on your booking confirmation. Please ensure you have a copy of this with you when you travel.
An approximate time is provided on the booking confirmation. We will send you an sms the evening before to confirm the exact time. We do this because journey times will vary due to weather and traffic conditions. We always aim to get you to the airport at least 2 hours before your flight departs.
If you have not taken off, please call us from your departure airport to let us know. If you are delayed in the air, there's not much you can do! Assuming you have given us your flight number, we'll be monitoring your progress. If you are significantly delayed, please be aware that we may have to reassign you a vehicle and that you might not depart as soon as you arrive.
As soon as you know a bag is lost, call us to let us know you are going through the proceedure to report a lost bag. Please be aware that the delays caused by lost bags may mean we will need to assign you a different driver, who might not be available as soon as you are ready to go.
Normally no. But we do expect to be informed of any delays in advance. If you are significantly delayed, please be aware that we may have to reassign you a vehicle and that you might not depart as soon as you arrive.
Normally your airline lays on a service to get you back to your original destination. Please call us when you land at the new airport to let us know your new eta. We will try to reschedule a vehicle for you.

All things money
We accept Visa, Mastercard and French debit cards only, as we are a French company. If you do not have access to one of these card types, please see the information on our other payment options.
We always prefer that you pay by card in advance. However, we can also accept payment by bank transfer (SEPA) or by cheque, by prior arrangement. Paying cash on the day is not possible (unless booking at the very last minute) as it is difficult for us to administrate.
No. We keep our pricing very simple. The price quoted already has all fees, including our credit card charges included. But please be aware that your bank may charge you currency exchange fees if you have a non-euro account.
Very. We use France's largest bank, Credit Agricole, as our card payment provider. When paying, you enter your card details directly to the bank, not via our website. That way your details are kept very secure. We never keep your card details on file. Please see our 'payment security' page for further details.
The prices quoted on the website are the total for ALL passengers travelling. Individual passenger prices are not quoted as we don't price per person (unless just one person is travelling, of course!)

To keep things simple, we ask for all the money at the time of booking. We will gladly refund you 80% of your amount if you choose to cancel (if 14 days before your first journey). We don't take deposits in order to keep our card charges as low as possible, thus keeping our prices low.
