Private transfer, train or taxi?
The train between Lyon and Geneva often means a change or a long wait, and a metered taxi over 150 km would be very expensive. With a private transfer:
- The price is fixed when you book, whatever the journey time
- Your driver waits for you at the agreed time, at your door or at arrivals
- The van carries up to 8 passengers and their luggage
- You travel directly, with your own group, to your door
The journey from Lyon to Geneva
From Lyon, the route follows the motorway towards Geneva, via Nantua or Bellegarde, and crosses the Franco-Swiss border before reaching the city. Allow 1 hour 45 to 2 hours depending on the time of day. The motorway vignette required on Swiss motorways is taken care of: it is included in the price. Remember to bring an ID card or passport for the border crossing.

We drop you at Geneva airport (French or Swiss sector), at the Palais des Nations and the international organisations, at the Palexpo conference centre, at Cornavin station or at any hotel in the city.
