Drive time

Geneva has its own international airport, and any honest treatment of this route has to start by saying so. If the inbound could land at Geneva, it should. This transfer exists for the traveller whose long-haul only serves Zurich, or whose schedule left no choice.

When it is the right journey it is a long, uncomplicated motorway run along the whole length of the Swiss plateau, and it is one of the routes where a fixed fare is worth the most — because it is long enough for a metered alternative to become genuinely alarming.

The road

The A1 west through Bern and Lausanne, then along the lake into Geneva. The international quarter, the airport and the city centre are three separate approaches and the last of them is the slowest.

Winter on this route

A plateau route with no pass and no altitude. Fog between Bern and Lausanne is the winter factor; nothing on this road closes.

What the fare includes

Sixty minutes of waiting after the aircraft lands, free of charge.
A chauffeur inside arrivals with your name, and the luggage carried to the car.
Flight monitoring — the pickup moves with the inbound, and the fare does not.
Motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette and any foreign vignette the route needs.
8.1% VAT and passenger insurance.

Questions we get on this route

Should we fly into Geneva instead?

If the schedule allows it, yes, and we will say so. The desk quotes the Zurich collection either way so the comparison is explicit.

Do you collect from Geneva airport for onward journeys?

Geneva is one of our three collection hubs. Those runs are quoted by hand rather than off the Zurich kilometre table.

Is the fare fixed over a journey this long?

Yes — fixed in writing before departure, and unaffected by traffic, routing or the hour of day.

What a fixed fare has to coverA quote that looks cheap on a spreadsheet usually has the waiting time, the night hours and the parking taken out of it. Here is every cost line a transfer actually carries, and which of them we absorb.	6 min read
