Which roads does the driver take?

Leaving the airport

Towards the A42.

Motorway towards Saint-Julien-en-Genevois.

Bardonnex border

Into Switzerland and the city; the French sector of Geneva Airport is reached via Ferney-Voltaire.

Back to the airport

From Geneva, book the pick-up about 4 h before a Schengen flight and 4 h 30 min before a non-Schengen one.

  • 1 August: Swiss National Day, with shows along the lake.

OUR CUSTOMER OPINION

Used Zonetransfers for a trip from Milan to Lake Como. The pickup was arranged in advance, which made planning the day easier. Comfortable journey and no issues along the way.

We travelled from Athens Airport to Piraeus Port to catch a ferry. Having the transfer arranged in advance took some of the stress out of the journey. We got to the port with time to spare.

Booked a private transfer from Rome Fiumicino Airport to our accommodation in the city. We had quite a bit of luggage and didn't fancy dealing with public transport. Everything went smoothly

We needed a transfer from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to our hotel near the Eiffel Tower. The driver was easy to find and we went straight to the hotel. Just what we needed after a long flight.

We booked a transfer from Faro Airport to Lagos. There were four of us with suitcases, so having a car waiting for us made things much easier. Straightforward booking and a comfortable journey

I had a 5:30 AM pickup for the airport in Alicante. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, sent a polite text to let me know he was waiting outside, and handled everything with absolute professionalism.

We used Zonetransfers for airport transfers back and forth during a family trip to Madrid. On-time pickups, comfortable vehicles, and very friendly drivers. Will definitely use them again.

Booked a private transfer from Barcelona Airport to our city-center hotel. Our driver, David, was exceptionally polite, helped with our heavy luggage, and gave us a few great local tips on the way.

What I appreciate most is knowing the exact cost upfront without unexpected luggage surcharges or meter surprises. Quick booking on the website and excellent customer support throughout.

We needed a transfer from Barcelona to Girona Airport early in the morning. The driver was there on time and we got to the airport with plenty of time. Very handy.
