Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Geneva Airport (GVA) to hotels in Geneva, and on to Lausanne, Montreux, Annecy, Évian-les-Bains and the Alpine ski resorts.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Geneva International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Geneva takes you from Geneva International Airport to hotels and apartments across Geneva, and further out to Lausanne and Montreux on Lake Geneva, Annecy and Évian-les-Bains in France, and ski resorts such as Verbier and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.
Our Geneva airport transfers start in the Swiss arrivals hall of Terminal 1, where your driver waits just past the customs exit with a name sign; turn right after customs to find the meeting point. If you land in the French sector or at the seasonal Terminal 2, you walk through to the same Terminal 1 meeting area, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for business travelers to a van for a family or ski group, and each Geneva airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or chalet. For Lausanne, Montreux, the French side of the border and the ski resorts, enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Geneva airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases, skis and snowboards, so it suits families and ski groups heading to a chalet in the Alps.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Geneva International Airport (GVA) lies northwest of central Geneva, in Meyrin and Le Grand-Saconnex, with its northern edge on the French border. Almost all flights use Terminal 1, which has a Swiss side and a French sector for flights to and from France; a small Terminal 2 opens only on winter weekends for charter and seasonal ski flights.
Passengers arriving from outside the Schengen Area go through passport control; flights from Schengen countries have no passport check. Screens in the baggage hall show your belt, and skis and snowboards usually arrive at the oversized baggage counters at either end of the hall. After customs you enter the Swiss arrivals hall of Terminal 1.
Geneva is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Switzerland is in the Schengen Area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Swiss side and French sector. The airport has a Swiss side and a French sector. If your flight came from France you may land in the French sector; allow extra time to pass through the internal border corridor to the Swiss side, where your driver meets you.
Swiss franc and euro. Switzerland uses the Swiss franc (CHF), while the neighboring French region uses the euro.
Ski season. Winters are cold, with snow in the nearby mountains, and winter weekends with ski charters are among the airport's busiest times. Collect skis and snowboards from the oversized baggage counters before you exit.
