Alpine Transfers – Customer service and price test…

As I mentioned in an earlier post I need to book a transfer from Geneva to Meribel.
Since I’m now blogging I thought it might be useful to anybody out there for me to try and rate the multitude of companies that offer this service.

Here’s what I’m planning…
I’m going to send the same email (see below) to all the taxi/bus companies I can find. I’ll then rate them on

  1. Time to respond to my email
  2. Did they answer all my questions
  3. Price

Email I’ll send
I have booked a holiday in Meribel Mottaret for a large group of friends and I need to book transfers from Geneva
International Airport.
I need to book the following transfers:
7 people Travelling from Geneva Airport to Meribel Mottaret on (flight arrives at

Please can you let me know:-
a) How much this will cost?
b) How long the journey will take?
c) When and how do we pay?

  1. So far I’ve had loads of responses, I’m hoping to have time to analyse them all in the next day or two. Looks like prices vary quite a bit!

  2. In the end I booked with Snow Trip (http://www.snowtrip.co.uk/) who were prompt and helpful both over email and the phone

  3. Don’t bother with ResortHoppa mate, you’ve got no chance of your transport even having been booked, let alone turning up…

  4. Hi David

    I somehow stumbled on your pages here and found your now dated article on alpine transfers. I noticed that there were no results for Transfer Intelligence, and hope this was not due to any fault on our part and I hope if ever you need a transfer in Europe then you will give us a go; we give great rates and pride ourselves on our customer relations.
    How were the pistes at Blackcomb this year?
    Kind regards
    Robin
