At Geneva Airport, coaches pick up groups at the P6 bus station, on the Arrivals level. This is the only point in the airport reserved for coaches. The driver follows the flight and arrives at P6 at the actual landing time .
Initially, the coach drops the group off at the Departures level, as close as possible to the check-in counters.
At Cornavin station, the coach will be waiting for the group at a stop agreed upon with you at the time of booking , a few minutes’ walk from the platforms.
When the group stays in several hotels, the coach makes a pick-up route. Each hotel receives its pick-up schedule, on both the right and left banks of the river.
Care is also provided on the French side , in Annemasse or in the Pays de Gex.

FAQ - Minibus rental in Geneva
We do not publish our price list, as the price depends on the service requested . The price is calculated based on the distance, the duration of availability, the number of days required, and the date of availability (peak demand period or not).
Note: a day of more than 9 hours of driving requires a second driver, which is also included in the quote.
Coaches departing from Geneva are best booked in advance for two periods: Saturdays in February, during the winter holidays, and the week of the Watches and Wonders fair in April.
For these dates, booking two to three months in advance guarantees the right vehicle, especially for the double-decker coach.
For a school trip by coach between France and Switzerland, each minor student residing in France must have a valid identity document and an authorization to leave the country (Cerfa form no. 15646) signed by a parent, along with a copy of that parent’s identity document. Students residing in Switzerland travel with their identity card or passport.
For a student of another nationality, the school checks the rules with the consulate.
A coach cannot navigate the narrow streets of Geneva’s Old Town.
The driver drops off the group at the foot of the hill, a few minutes’ walk from St. Peter’s Cathedral, and then picks them up at the same location at the agreed time. For a group with elderly or mobility-impaired individuals, the nearest drop-off point is chosen when the quote is prepared.
During a multi-day tour, the driver’s accommodation and meals are included in the TSE quote: the client does not have to book anything for him .
The driver sleeps near the group’s hotel, ensuring that departure is on time each morning. His mandatory rest periods are factored into the itinerary from the initial planning stages.
A passenger in a wheelchair travels in the TSE TPMR vehicle , which follows the group’s coach on the same program.
The two vehicles depart and arrive together at the same pick-up points. An attendant can sit next to the passenger in the wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
The program for a coach hire can change on the same day : an added stop or a different schedule is settled directly with the driver.
A more significant change, such as a new destination or an extended day, must respect the driver’s driving times and is subject to an additional charge to the quote.
For school holiday weekends in winter and major trade shows at Palexpo, it is advisable to book your minibus several weeks in advance, as demand is high.
The rest of the year, a few days are usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are still possible depending on availability, preferably by telephone.
