What a fair week costs, written down before you ask.
Palexpo, Route François-Peyrot 30, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex · from Monday 5 to Sunday 11 April 2027
Most limousine companies in Geneva make you fill in a form to get a figure. We publish the grid. You will know where you stand before writing to us, and the quote will not be a surprise.
Two things govern the price during the fair, and distance is not one of them. Palexpo is right beside the airport: the arrival transfer is a local run at a fixed price. It is the rest of the week that counts, when the car has to stay available between the fair, the Rue du Rhône and the dinners.

See the fleetThe arrival transfer is a local run
Palexpo is adjacent to Geneva Airport, and the lakefront hotels are under ten kilometres away. All of that stays below the 25 km threshold, so the fixed local price applies rather than the per-kilometre rate.
Hire by the hour is the real line item
Over a fair week nobody orders rides one at a time. Hire keeps the same chauffeur and the same vehicle at your disposal, with your belongings on board. That is what shapes the budget, not the transfers.
What the grid does not cover
A Maybach is quoted separately. Night hours, extended waiting and additional vehicles for a delegation are priced against the programme, before the service and never after.
Book early, for availability
The Geneva fleet does not grow for fair week. What gets booked out first is not the price, it is the vehicle. V-Class vans and Sprinters go before the saloons.
Frequently asked questions
The local transfer, airport or Palexpo to a lakefront hotel, starts at 140 CHF in an E-Class, 180 CHF in an S-Class and 160 CHF in a V-Class. For the week, hire is what counts: from 100 CHF per hour in an E-Class and 140 CHF in an S-Class. Estimate to confirm.
An eight-hour day in an S-Class comes to 1120 CHF, hotel included morning and evening, with unlimited stops between the fair, the town and the dinners. In an E-Class the same day starts at 800 CHF.
No. Palexpo is adjacent to Geneva Airport and the lakefront hotels are under ten kilometres away: everything stays below the 25 km threshold, so the fixed local price applies, 140 CHF in an E-Class.
From Monday 5 to Sunday 11 April 2027, at Palexpo, Geneva. The fair opens with professional days and closes with a weekend open to the public.
The grid shown on this page is the one that applies. What changes during the fair is not the rate but availability: the Geneva fleet does not grow for the occasion, and V-Class vans and Sprinters go first.
No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Every price shown here is an estimate to confirm, depending on timing, programme and vehicle. We confirm the amount before the service, never after.
