Leman Transfers Transfer Guide
 

Our simple, easy to read Transfer Guide below shows you why our pre-booked transfers are cheaper, more convenient and less hassle than car hire.

Why pre-book your airport transfer?

Organising your airport transfer is often the finishing touch to organising your own holiday, so we know the importance of making the right decision. Just like with low-cost airlines,  prices and availability can vary greatly, so our first piece of advice would be  to check out our prices at the same time as you look at your flights!

Our second, most important piece of advice is to check which airport is best for where you are going. Unfortunately this does not just mean looking at map, as certain routes incur tunnel fees or special road tolls. Need advice? Contact us now.

What's included in the price of a transfer?

**It is very important that you provide us with the correct full accommodation address - just knowing the chalet name is not enough. Please speak to the accommodation owner/agent to obtain a full address.

What's the advantage of pre-booking a transfer instead of hiring a car?

Even though most popular airports offer car rental and the services allows you the freedom to drive yourself, renting a car can be a hassle and there are many hidden costs - from snow tyres to baby and booster seats these necessary additional costs all add up on top of the car hire fee. Check out our like-for-like comparison below based on a family of four arriving at Geneva airport and spending a week in Méribel during the 2011/2012 ski season both pre booking in advance.

Car Hire vs. Return Transfer

Obviously these services are different in many ways, but considering the average holidaymaker is not experienced in driving on foreign alpine roads and the fact that a car in a ski resort is more likely to be a burden than an asset, then we can come to the conclusion that a private ski transfer is the most effective solution both financially and practically.
