Memmingen Airport
Memmingen Airport, also known as Allgäu Airport, lies in the Bavarian Swabian countryside and is mostly served by low-cost airlines. A private transfer from Geneva links the two in one stage, useful for travellers taking a budget flight from Memmingen, for families visiting the Allgäu and for groups who want a single vehicle across Switzerland.
Chauffeur's tipBudget airlines at Memmingen are strict about check-in and bag drop times. Share your flight departure time and we will plan to arrive with a comfortable margin.
Across Switzerland and into the Allgäu
The route follows the A1 via Lausanne, Bern and Zurich, then heads east towards St. Gallen and the Rhine valley at Lake Constance. Depending on traffic, your chauffeur crosses into Germany around Lake Constance, sometimes passing briefly through Austria near Bregenz, and continues on the A96 through the green hills of the Allgäu to Memmingen. The airport lies just south of the town, a short distance from the motorway. The 482 km take around 4 h 50 in normal traffic.
Arriving at Memmingen
The airport is compact, with a single terminal and a drop-off zone right in front of departures. Because it is small, check-in and security are generally quick, but queues build up when several flights leave close together. AirportsTransfers.ch also offers the reverse journey: on arrival in Memmingen your chauffeur waits with a name sign, follows your flight and drives you back to Geneva, Lausanne or any Swiss address.
Practical advice
Allow for traffic around Zurich and St. Gallen, especially at rush hour. One break is usually planned on the way. Low-cost airlines often have strict cabin-bag rules, so check your luggage allowance before the trip. The Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, and child seats are fitted on request. Identity documents are needed for the border crossing, and a return trip can be booked at the same time.

The route to Memmingen Airport10
How far is Memmingen Airport from Geneva Airport by road?
Memmingen Airport is about 482 km by road from Geneva Airport. In normal traffic the private transfer takes around 4 h 50, door to door from the Geneva arrivals hall to the departures drop-off zone in Memmingen.
Which route does the chauffeur take from Geneva to Memmingen Airport?
The usual route follows the Swiss A1 via Lausanne, Bern and Zurich, then heads east towards St. Gallen and the Rhine valley. After crossing into Germany near Lake Constance, the car continues on the A96 through the Allgäu hills to Memmingen Airport.
Does the drive from Geneva to Memmingen Airport cross a border?
Yes. The transfer leaves Switzerland around Lake Constance and enters Germany, sometimes after a short stretch through Austria near Bregenz. Carry a passport or identity card valid for the trip, as checks can take place at the border.
Is there a lot of traffic between Geneva and Memmingen?
The busiest sections are usually around Zurich and St. Gallen at rush hour, and the approach to Lake Constance on summer weekends. Your chauffeur times the departure to avoid the worst peaks and adapts the route on the day if a motorway is congested.
What is a good time of day to leave Geneva for Memmingen Airport?
Leaving Geneva mid-morning or early afternoon usually avoids both the Geneva and Zurich rush hours. For early flights from Memmingen, a night departure works well because the motorways across Switzerland and southern Germany are quiet.
Is the road to Memmingen Airport affected by snow in winter?
The route stays on motorways and does not cross any mountain pass, so it is open all year. Snow can still slow traffic around St. Gallen and in the Allgäu, so the car runs on winter tyres and the chauffeur allows extra time when snow is forecast.
Can we stop on the way from Geneva to Memmingen?
Yes. On a drive of almost five hours one break is usually planned, for example at a motorway service area near Zurich or by Lake Constance. Tell your chauffeur if you need an extra stop for children, a meal or simply to stretch your legs.
Can I travel to Memmingen Airport at night or very early in the morning?
Yes, transfers run at any hour. Many low-cost flights leave Memmingen early in the morning, so a night departure from Geneva is common, and your chauffeur is rested and ready for the long motorway drive.
How long does the Memmingen transfer take at rush hour?
Outside peak times, plan around 4 h 50. Crossing Zurich during the morning or evening rush can add 30 minutes to an hour, which is why the chauffeur may move the departure time slightly or take another motorway to keep your arrival at Memmingen on schedule.
Is there an alternative route to Memmingen that avoids St. Gallen?
Yes. Depending on traffic, the chauffeur can cross into Germany further west, for example near Schaffhausen or Kreuzlingen, and continue on German roads towards the Allgäu. The choice is made on the day to keep the drive to Memmingen as smooth as possible.
Booking and payment9
How do I book a private transfer from Geneva Airport to Memmingen Airport?
Enter Geneva Airport and Memmingen Airport on the AirportsTransfers.ch website, choose the date, time and vehicle, add your flight details and pay online. A confirmation with all the details is sent to you by email straight away.
How much does a transfer from Geneva to Memmingen Airport cost?
The price is fixed per vehicle, not per passenger, and is shown before you pay. It depends on the vehicle you choose and stays the same whatever the traffic on the long drive to Memmingen, so there is nothing extra to settle at the end.
What is included in the price of the Memmingen Airport transfer?
The fixed price covers the chauffeur, fuel, motorway vignettes and any tolls on the way to Memmingen. Waiting time is included if your flight is late, so a delayed landing in Geneva does not change the cost of the transfer.
How can I pay for a transfer to Memmingen Airport?
You pay securely online when booking, by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Nothing needs to be paid to the chauffeur on the day, which keeps things simple before a flight from Memmingen.
How far in advance should I book my Memmingen transfer?
Booking a few days ahead is advisable, especially for early-morning flights from Memmingen or during school holidays. Last-minute bookings are possible when a vehicle and chauffeur are free for the five-hour trip, so it is always worth checking online.
Can I book the return from Memmingen Airport to Geneva at the same time?
Yes. Add the return from Memmingen Airport to Geneva, Lausanne or any Swiss address in the same order. On the way back your chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign and follows your incoming flight.
Can my company receive an invoice for a Memmingen transfer?
Yes. Enter the company name and billing details when booking and an invoice is issued for the transfer. This suits staff who fly out of Memmingen for work or teams travelling between Switzerland and the Allgäu.
What if I need to cancel my transfer to Memmingen Airport?
Please see our cancellation conditions at booking, where they are shown before you pay. If your Memmingen flight is moved or cancelled, contact AirportsTransfers.ch as early as possible so we can look at the options with you.
Can a large group travel together to Memmingen Airport?
Yes. The Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers, and for larger groups the Mercedes Sprinter minibus is quoted on request via the contact form, so everyone reaches Memmingen together in time for the same flight.
Arriving at Geneva Airport6
Where does the chauffeur meet me at Geneva Airport for the Memmingen transfer?
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign as you come out of baggage reclaim. From there it is a short walk to the car and the start of the drive across Switzerland to Memmingen.
I land in the French sector of Geneva Airport. Can I still be collected for Memmingen?
Yes. Tell us at booking that you arrive in the French sector and the chauffeur will meet you on that side. Most passengers heading to Memmingen arrive in the Swiss sector, which is the usual meeting point.
Is my flight into Geneva tracked before the Memmingen transfer?
Yes. Your flight is tracked in real time, so the chauffeur sees an early or late landing and adjusts the pickup. Waiting time is included if your flight is late, which is reassuring before a five-hour drive to Memmingen.
How do I contact my chauffeur on the day of the Memmingen transfer?
You receive your chauffeur's contact details before the trip and can call or send a message when you land. If anything changes, the AirportsTransfers.ch team is also reachable 24/7 by phone or WhatsApp.
When should I be collected to reach Memmingen Airport in time for my flight?
Count about 4 h 50 of driving, one break and a traffic margin, and aim to arrive at least two hours before departure. Budget airlines at Memmingen close check-in and bag drop strictly, so share your flight time and we plan the pickup around it.
Can you pick me up at Memmingen Airport and drive me back to Geneva?
Yes. On the reverse journey your chauffeur waits in the Memmingen arrivals area with a name sign, follows your flight and drives you to Geneva Airport, Geneva, Lausanne or any other Swiss address.
Luggage, skis and children6
Can I take skis or a bike in the car to Memmingen Airport?
Yes, as long as you declare them at booking. Skis, snowboards, bikes and golf bags need extra space, so we choose a vehicle large enough, often the V-Class. Check your airline's sports equipment rules too before flying from Memmingen.
Which vehicle should I choose for the transfer to Memmingen?
The Business Sedan E-Class takes up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, while the First Class S-Class adds comfort on a journey of almost five hours. Families and groups usually take the V-Class Van, with room for up to 7 passengers and 10 bags.
Are child seats available for the transfer to Memmingen Airport?
Yes, child seats are available on request. Give the age of each child when booking so the right seats are fitted before leaving Geneva, which matters on a long motorway journey to Memmingen.
Can I bring my dog in the car to Memmingen Airport?
Please ask at booking so we can confirm and plan for your pet. Tell us the size of the animal and whether it travels in a carrier, and allow for a break on the way to Memmingen.
Is the Memmingen transfer suitable for passengers with reduced mobility?
Please ask at booking and describe your needs, for example a folding wheelchair or help getting in and out of the car. We then choose a suitable vehicle and plan the drop-off close to the Memmingen terminal entrance.
What if I have oversized luggage for my flight from Memmingen?
Mention large suitcases, instrument cases or boxes when booking so we send a vehicle with enough room. Low-cost airlines at Memmingen often charge for large or extra bags, so check your allowance before you set off.

The airport is a short drive from Memmingen town centre, and local buses link the station with the terminal. Coming from Switzerland, the private transfer takes you straight to the departures drop-off without any change.
