Traveling by private chauffeur in Switzerland is not just a ride, it’s a full, bespoke experience crafted to your schedule, comfort, and peace of mind.
Booking & Preparation
Everything begins before you step into the car:
You provide pick-up and drop-off points, date, time, number of passengers, luggage details, and any preferences (extra stops, child seats, etc.)
The chauffeur service assigns a driver, ensures the vehicle is cleaned, fueled, and prepared
If relevant (for flights), they monitor arrival status and adjust pick-up times to accommodate delays
Routes are optimized in advance to avoid congestion or roadworks
Meet & Greet & Pick-Up
On arrival, your chauffeur will:
Be ready at the agreed meeting point (airport terminal, hotel lobby, etc.), often with a name sign
Assist with your luggage, open doors, and escort you to the vehicle
Confirm any last-minute details before departure
From that moment, the journey begins under full service.
The Ride Experience
During your ride, every detail is attended to:
You choose the route style: fastest, scenic, quiet, or others
Climate control, refreshments, Wi-Fi, and other in-car amenities are managed
Short adjustments (an extra stop or slight detour) are typically accommodated
Discretion and privacy are maintained, conversations and itinerary remain confidential
Types of Vehicles & When to Use Them
Choosing the right class of vehicle ensures comfort and value. Common classes include:
Class | Best Use Case | Comfort / Capacity Notes |
Sedan / Business class | Airport transfers, city rides for 1–2 passengers | Elegant, efficient, ideal for executive trips |
Minivan / People mover | Families, small groups, or multi-stop journeys | Extra space for more passengers and luggage |
Premium / Luxury Sedan | Special occasions, VIP transport | Top comfort, refined interior |
SUV / Luxury SUV | Mixed routes or more space needed | Good for extra room plus luxury feel |
When booking, always state the number of passengers and luggage so you receive the proper vehicle.
Arrival & Aftercare
At your destination:
The chauffeur assists with offloading luggage, ensures a smooth exit
Some services follow up (via email or message) to confirm your satisfaction
Feedback may be invited to maintain service quality
