Chauffeur by the hour in Geneva – private chauffeur in a MercedesChauffeur by the hour – professional chauffeur, AirportsTransfers.ch

A car and driver at your disposal

Instead of booking a separate transfer for every leg, you reserve a chauffeur and vehicle for a block of time. The driver collects you at the agreed address, waits outside each appointment and follows your programme as it changes during the day. You can add or change stops as you go, within the booked hours and the region agreed at booking.

The minimum booking is 2 hours. Longer bookings cover a half day or a full day of meetings, viewings or visits, and the chauffeur can finish with a drop-off at Geneva Airport or at a train station.

What is included

  • A professional chauffeur and the vehicle of your choice for the hours booked
  • Waiting time between stops within the booked period
  • Fuel and normal driving within the agreed area
  • Help with bags, shopping and documents
  • A clean, quiet vehicle where you can make calls or work

You choose between the Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class) for up to 3 passengers, the First Class Sedan (Mercedes S-Class) for more comfort in the rear, the Van (Mercedes V-Class) for up to 7 passengers, or the Minibus (Mercedes Sprinter) for a group.

Because the same chauffeur stays with you throughout the booking, you can leave coats, shopping bags or documents in the car between stops. The chauffeur parks close to each address, keeps an eye on the time and can suggest the quickest way between appointments, which is useful in Geneva at rush hour or when roads around the lake are busy.

How clients use hourly chauffeur service

Business visitors often book a few hours to link meetings in central Geneva, at the Palais des Nations, in the banking district and at Palexpo. Delegations attending conferences use hourly service to move between hotels, venues and dinners. Private clients book a morning of shopping in Geneva, a visit to the wine villages of Lavaux near Cully, or a trip along the lake to Montreux and the Château de Chillon. Others use it for property viewings in Nyon, Coppet or Gland, or for a day in Annecy or Lausanne with several stops. Hourly service is also practical in ski resorts such as Verbier or Gstaad, when guests need a car for dinner and transfers between chalets.

Booking and payment

On the booking form, choose the hourly option, the start time and address, the number of hours and the vehicle. The price for the booked period is shown before payment and you pay online through a secure Stripe checkout by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. If your day runs longer than planned, ask your chauffeur or call us at +41 78 346 56 77; additional time can be arranged depending on availability. Companies can receive an invoice with each booking. AirportsTransfers.ch operates 24/7.

Can my company get an invoice?

Booking and payment8
How is the price of a chauffeur by the hour calculated?
The price depends on the number of hours booked and the vehicle class. A First Class Sedan or Van costs more per hour than a Business Sedan. The price for your booking is displayed before you pay online.
How do I pay for an hourly chauffeur?
You pay online through a secure Stripe checkout, by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount for the hours booked is shown before payment, and your confirmation arrives by email.
Can I extend the hours on the day?
Often, yes, if the chauffeur is available after your booking. Tell your chauffeur or contact AirportsTransfers.ch by phone or WhatsApp as early as possible. Additional time is arranged according to the conditions shown at booking.
Can I reduce the number of hours after booking?
Contact us as soon as possible by email or phone with your booking reference. Whether the booking can be shortened depends on the timing of your request; please see the conditions shown at booking.
What are the cancellation terms for an hourly chauffeur?
The terms depend on how far ahead of the start time you cancel. They are set out in the conditions shown at booking. If your plans change, let us know as early as you can.
Can I book a chauffeur by the hour on behalf of my boss or a guest?
Yes. Enter the passenger's name and mobile number, the start address and the programme in the notes. You pay online with your own card or wallet, and the passenger is collected without needing to do anything.
Do I need to pay the chauffeur anything on the day?
No. The hours you book are paid online in advance. If you add time on the day, it is arranged with us according to the conditions shown at booking. Entrance tickets, meals or parking at your request are your own expenses.
Can I book an hourly chauffeur at short notice?
Often, yes, depending on availability. For same-day requests, call or send a WhatsApp message to AirportsTransfers.ch on +41 78 346 56 77 rather than waiting for an email reply, so we can confirm quickly.
How it works8
How does hiring a chauffeur by the hour work?
You book online with the start time, pick-up address, number of hours and vehicle, then pay the price shown. The chauffeur collects you at the agreed time, drives you to each stop, waits outside and stays at your disposal until the booked hours end.
Do I need to give my full itinerary when booking by the hour?
No. Give the start address and the stops you already know in the booking notes, along with the general area. You can add or change stops during the booking, within the booked hours and the region agreed.
Where can an hourly booking start?
Anywhere in our service area: your hotel, home, office, a train station or Geneva Airport. If the hourly booking starts at the airport, give your flight number so the chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall at the actual landing time.
When does the hourly booking time start counting?
The booked hours start at the pick-up time you choose. Plan the start time according to when you actually need the car. If you are unsure about timing, AirportsTransfers.ch can help you decide how many hours to book.
What does the chauffeur do while I am in a meeting or shop?
The chauffeur waits near the address, keeps the vehicle ready and watches the time. When you are finished, call or message to say you are coming out, and the car is at the door when you leave the building.
Can I leave my belongings in the car between stops?
Yes. Because the same chauffeur and vehicle stay with you throughout the booking, you can leave coats, shopping bags, luggage or documents in the car while you are at each appointment.
How do I give instructions to my chauffeur during the booking?
Simply speak to your chauffeur in the car, or call or message the number you are given. Instructions can also go through AirportsTransfers.ch on +41 78 346 56 77 by phone or WhatsApp.
Can I book a chauffeur by the hour for several days in a row?
Yes. Book each day separately online, or send your full programme to contact@airportstransfers.ch so we can plan the days together. Where possible, we keep the same chauffeur for continuity.
What's included6
What is included in a chauffeur by the hour booking?
The booking includes a professional chauffeur and the vehicle you choose for the hours booked, waiting time between stops, fuel and normal driving within the agreed area, and help with bags, shopping and documents.
Is waiting time between appointments charged separately?
No. Waiting between stops is part of the hours you book. Whether the chauffeur drives or waits, the time counts within the same booking, so there is no separate waiting charge during the booked period.
Which vehicle can I hire by the hour?
You can choose the Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class) for up to 3 passengers, the First Class Sedan (Mercedes S-Class), the Van (Mercedes V-Class) for up to 7 passengers, or the Minibus (Mercedes Sprinter) for groups, on request.
Is an airport pick-up with flight tracking possible as part of an hourly booking?
Yes. If your hourly booking begins at Geneva Airport, give your flight number. We track the flight and the chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name sign, then stays with you for the rest of the booked hours.
Will I have the same chauffeur for the whole booking?
Yes. The same chauffeur and vehicle stay with you from the start to the end of the booked hours. This keeps things simple: one contact, one car and someone who knows your programme for the day.
Is a quiet working environment provided in the car?
Yes. The vehicles are clean and quiet, so you can make calls, read documents or prepare a meeting between stops. Tell the chauffeur if you prefer silence, and they will keep conversation to a minimum.
Typical situations10
Can I hire a chauffeur by the hour for shopping in Geneva?
Yes. The chauffeur can drive you between the Rue du Rhône, the Old Town and other shopping areas, wait outside and look after your bags in the car. Two or three hours often suit an afternoon of shopping.
Can I use an hourly chauffeur for property viewings around Lake Geneva?
Yes. Viewing several properties in Geneva, Cologny, Coppet, Nyon or Lausanne in one day is a typical use. The chauffeur drives between addresses, waits during each visit and adapts if an agent changes the order.
Can I book a chauffeur by the hour for an evening out?
Yes. Book from the time you leave your hotel or home, for dinner, a concert or the theatre. The chauffeur waits during the evening and drives you back, so nobody in your party needs to drive.
Can I hire a chauffeur by the hour for meetings in Lausanne and Geneva on the same day?
Yes. Many clients book a full day starting in Geneva, continuing to Lausanne, Nyon or Vevey and returning in the evening. Mention both cities when booking so the agreed region covers your programme.
Can I use an hourly chauffeur for a visit to CERN or the Palais des Nations?
Yes. The chauffeur drops you at the entrance, waits during your visit or meeting and drives you to the next address. Give the exact gate or building in the notes, as access points vary.
Can I book a chauffeur by the hour for a trip to Annecy?
Yes. An hourly booking can cross into France, for example for a day in Annecy and Talloires. State the destination when booking so the region and number of hours are appropriate for the distance.
Can I hire a chauffeur by the hour in a ski resort?
Yes. During a stay in Verbier, Gstaad or Megève, for example, a chauffeur by the hour can drive you to restaurants, shops or a neighbouring resort. Book from your chalet or hotel address with the hours you need.
Can I hire a chauffeur by the hour for a hospital or clinic appointment?
Yes. The chauffeur can drive you to the clinic, wait during the appointment and take you back to your hotel. This is a chauffeur service, not medical transport, so passengers must be able to travel in a standard vehicle.
Can I book a chauffeur by the hour for a business lunch and client visits?
Yes. This is one of the most common uses. The chauffeur collects you, drives between your client visits and restaurant, and waits outside each address, so you arrive on time without looking for parking.
Can an hourly booking include drop-off at Geneva Airport at the end?
Yes. Many clients end the day with a drop-off at the departures level. Put your luggage in the car at the start, attend your meetings, and the chauffeur takes you to the airport within the booked hours.
Practical questions8
Is a chauffeur by the hour available at night?
Yes. AirportsTransfers.ch operates 24/7, so an hourly booking can start early in the morning or finish late at night, for example after a dinner, a gala or a late meeting.
Can I take children with me on an hourly booking?
Yes. Request child seats or boosters when booking and give the children's ages. The seats stay installed in the vehicle for the whole booking, so you can make several stops without refitting them.
Where does the chauffeur park while waiting?
The chauffeur parks as close as possible to each address, in line with local rules. In busy areas such as central Geneva, they may circle or wait nearby and return to the door when you call.
Can I make calls in private during an hourly booking?
Yes. Our chauffeurs are discreet and do not take part in your calls or discussions. If you need full privacy for a conversation, you can ask the chauffeur to wait outside the car during a stop.
What if I am late coming out of an appointment?
The chauffeur simply waits, as waiting is part of the booked hours. If you think you will exceed the total time booked, tell the chauffeur early so an extension can be checked.
Can I carry large purchases in the car?
Yes, within the space of the vehicle you booked. If you plan large purchases, such as artwork or several boxes, choose the Van, which has more room. Tell us in the notes so the chauffeur is prepared.
Can I ask for an hourly chauffeur who speaks my language?
Yes, you can ask. Please state your preferred language in the booking notes. We assign a chauffeur accordingly whenever possible, and you can always reach AirportsTransfers.ch by phone, WhatsApp or email in English.
How do I contact you during my hourly booking?
Call or send a WhatsApp message to +41 78 346 56 77, or email contact@airportstransfers.ch. The phone line operates 24/7, which is useful when your programme changes during the day.
