Booking a transfer for an executive in Geneva takes a few minutes if you collect the right details once and reuse them: flight number, mobile number, exact addresses, passengers and luggage. Most trips are short, with the city centre minutes from the airport and Lausanne about 61 km away, but executives notice every detail. AirportsTransfers.ch is built for this kind of booking, with fixed prices, flight tracking and invoices for companies.

The details to collect every time
A good booking starts with complete information. For airport pick-ups, the flight number is more useful than the arrival time, because it lets the chauffeur follow the plane and adjust if it lands early or late. Add the executive's mobile number, ideally one that works abroad, so the chauffeur can send a message on landing. Give the exact destination address, including the building entrance or hotel name, and the number of passengers travelling together.
Luggage is often overlooked. A single executive with a cabin bag is easy, but a week-long trip with a suit carrier, a laptop bag and a large suitcase, or a winter trip with skis, changes the vehicle needed. Note preferences that matter to your executive: a quiet ride for calls, a bottle of water, a preferred temperature, or whether they like a brief conversation or none at all.
Choosing the right vehicle
The Mercedes E-Class business sedan suits most individual journeys: it carries up to three passengers and three bags and offers a calm space to work or take calls. The Mercedes S-Class first class sedan is the choice for senior executives, board members or important guests where the car itself is part of the impression. The Mercedes V-Class takes up to seven passengers and ten bags, ideal for a leadership team arriving together or a family trip to the mountains, and the Sprinter minibus covers larger groups.
When an executive is hosting visitors, book the car for the guest in the same way you would for your own boss, and tell the guest in advance who will meet them. It reflects well on the host and avoids the awkward moment of a visitor searching the arrivals hall for a taxi.
Handling changes and last-minute plans
Executive schedules change constantly. Flight delays are absorbed automatically: the chauffeur tracks the flight and waiting is included if it lands late, so there is no need to call when a plane is held up. Real changes, such as a new flight, a different hotel or an extra passenger, should be sent as soon as you know them, by updating the booking or messaging the team. Keep the booking reference handy so changes can be matched quickly.
For days with several meetings, consider hiring a chauffeur by the hour rather than booking separate point-to-point trips. A car and driver at your executive's disposal, with a two-hour minimum, waits outside each meeting and adapts to overruns without you having to rebook. It also removes uncertainty for the executive, who knows the car will be there when they walk out.
Building a reliable routine
Assistants who book regularly benefit from a simple routine. Keep a profile for each executive with their usual hotels, preferences and mobile number. Send a confirmation note to the executive with the chauffeur's meeting point and the vehicle type. For trips to the mountains, check road conditions in winter and allow extra time on Saturdays; Verbier, for example, is around two hours away in normal traffic. For trips into France, such as Annecy at about 40 minutes or Chamonix at about 1 h 15, remind the traveller to carry valid documents.
Finally, keep finance in mind. Fixed prices make approval easy because the cost is known before the trip, and company invoices simplify expense reports and cost-centre allocation. Return trips can be booked together to save time.
