Geneva, the Jet d'Eau and the harbour

Geneva lies at the south-western tip of Lake Geneva, on both banks of the Rhône. A private driver from Nice to Geneva usually takes you to a flight, a meeting or an international conference.

Discover Geneva

The Jet d'Eau

Out in the harbour, the Jet d'Eau shoots 140 metres into the air. It began as a safety valve: in the late 19th century, a hydraulic plant released its excess pressure skywards. Moved out into the harbour in 1891, it has had its own pumping station since 1951.

The Old Town

On the hill of the left bank, the Old Town climbs up to St Peter's Cathedral, where an underground museum traces the history of the site. Below, the Reformation Wall recalls Calvin's part in the Reformation. On the right bank, the Palais des Nations houses the United Nations' European headquarters.

Our chauffeur services in Geneva

Getting here and away

Nice Airport is 6 h 15 min from Geneva. On a drive this long, you can stop for a break whenever it suits you. The fare, from €1,350, is agreed when you book. At the Swiss border, carry a valid passport or identity card. For the trip from Geneva to Nice or Monaco, we collect you from the address you give us.

Geneva Airport

For a flight out of Geneva, we drop you outside the terminal. When you land there, we meet you and drive you down to the coast. For a conference or a meeting in town, we leave you at the exact address. A delegation of several people travels in a V-Class. Our business service prepares the trip with your office.

The drive back to the coast

After a meeting in Geneva, there is no need to catch another plane. You step into the car at the agreed address and arrive in Cannes or Monaco without changing. The chauffeur stops whenever you like, for lunch or a coffee.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Geneva?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €1,500 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €1,800 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €2,150 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€1,350 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to Geneva?

About 6 h 15 min to reach Geneva (612 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

Do you also leave from Cannes, Monaco or Antibes for Geneva?

Yes. We leave from anywhere on the French Riviera, at the address you give us: hotel, villa, station or port. The fare for your trip is shown before you book.

Can we take a break during the Nice to Geneva transfer?

Yes. You pick the moment, and the chauffeur stops at a service area for a meal or a coffee.

Do you drive from Geneva Airport to Monaco?

Yes. The chauffeur meets you when you land in Geneva and drives you to your address in Monaco, or anywhere else on the Côte d'Azur.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
