How long does my chauffeur wait free of charge?

At the airport, 60 minutes from your pickup time; if your flight is delayed, from the new pickup time. At any other address, 20 minutes. Longer waiting is charged only at your request or with your agreement: CHF 20 per started 15 minutes.

What if my flight is delayed or lands early?

We track your flight in real time, and a delay moves your pickup automatically, including any buffer you chose when booking. Example: pickup booked for 10:00, landing planned for 09:50 plus a 10-minute buffer. The flight lands at 10:10, so your pickup moves to 10:20. If you land early, we try to be there sooner but can't promise it; free waiting starts at your booked time.

Can I cancel for free?

Yes. You get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the originally confirmed pickup time. A flight delay does not move this deadline. If you cancel within 24 hours, or don't show up, the full amount may be retained.

How can I pay?

Online, by credit or debit card, when you book: your ride is confirmed as soon as the payment goes through, and the price you saw is the price you pay.

What about snow and closed mountain roads?

In winter, every car runs on winter tyres; 4x4 vehicles and snow chains are available. If a road closes, we look for another route using the latest road and traffic information. If there is none, we wait with you until it reopens or, if you prefer, take you to the nearest train station and help with the ticket. You are never left on your own. A detour or waiting because of a road closure costs you nothing extra.
