Chauffeur's tipFor the Messe Offenburg on fair days, ask to be dropped at the main entrance on the agreed side; your chauffeur avoids the visitor car park queues.
A straight run up the Rhine plain
Your journey begins on the Swiss A1 along Lake Geneva, past Lausanne and towards Bern, before heading north through the Jura to Basel. The route crosses the border into Germany at Basel and joins the A5, a fast motorway running up the flat Upper Rhine plain. Freiburg passes on the right, with the Black Forest hills rising behind it, and the vineyards of the Ortenau appear shortly before the Offenburg exit, just a few minutes from the town centre.
Arriving in Offenburg
Typical drop-offs include hotels in the old town, the Messe Offenburg exhibition grounds, offices and media companies in the centre and addresses in the wine villages around Durbach and Ortenberg. If you are continuing into the Kinzig valley towards Gengenbach or deeper into the Black Forest, simply give the final address and the transfer goes all the way. Strasbourg is only a short drive away across the Rhine, so if your stay includes meetings on the French side, a chauffeur by the hour can cover both.
Practical advice
At under four hours, this is one of the easier German destinations from Geneva.
- A morning flight into Geneva usually means an afternoon arrival in Offenburg.
- The A5 around Freiburg can be slow on holiday weekends; your chauffeur adapts the timing.
- Child seats are provided on request for families.
AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight and includes waiting time if you land late.
