- Confirm the airport sector and meeting point before travelling.
- Count your bags and provide separate details for the return journey.
Start with the flight, then agree a pick-up time
When leaving Annecy, share your travel date, flight time and the airport arrival guidance provided by your airline. Agree the pick-up time with your driver using your departure address and the traffic conditions expected that day. An address in the centre, on the hills above town or beside the lake creates a different starting point. Avoid building your schedule around an assumed journey time that may vary from one day to another.
Provide an address your driver can use
Include the street number and name, the town and, where relevant, the hotel or residence name. A building entrance, rear access or pedestrian street may require a meeting point different from the postal address. Ask your accommodation where a vehicle can stop while you load your luggage, then pass on that landmark. Keep a working phone with you: a quick clarification is easier than moving between entrances with all your bags.
At Geneva, confirm the meeting sector
Geneva Airport has an international sector and a France Sector, with separate road access. Travelling to Annecy does not automatically mean a pick-up on the French side. For an international arrival, the airport explains that passengers collect their bags and pass Swiss customs before any onward access to the France Sector. Check the official airport map and agree the meeting point with your driver. Wait for confirmation before changing sectors inside the terminal.
Describe the luggage as well as the group
A cabin bag, a large suitcase and a pushchair each need a different amount of space. Give the number of each item and mention skis, snowboards or other bulky equipment. Aller-Retour 74 offers an anthracite grey BMW 5 Series Touring for up to four passengers and a black Mercedes Vito for up to eight, depending on luggage. Seat numbers alone do not confirm loading space: the vehicle and usable capacity are agreed for your request.
Allow for the time between landing and leaving
For a Geneva arrival, add your flight number, departure airport and a contact reachable after landing. The airport’s flight tracker helps you check flight status, but landing time is different from the time you leave with your bags. Delayed luggage or something you need to do in the terminal can affect when you are ready. Update your contact as soon as possible and ask how the pick-up works; waiting arrangements should be agreed when the booking is confirmed.
Treat the return as a separate journey
For a return booking, list both dates, addresses and flight references separately. Mention if the return starts at another hotel, a station or a ski resort. Before travelling, check the schedule with your airline and review Geneva Airport’s practical information. Price and availability are provided before confirmation. Keep your driver’s contact details and the agreed meeting instructions easy to find on your phone alongside your travel documents, so everyone in the group knows where the journey begins.
Your questions
Should I request the France Sector for a transfer to Annecy?
Confirm the sector with your driver according to your arrival. Annecy as your destination does not determine the meeting point. Check the airport’s official instructions and share your flight number.
Can I include both journeys in one request?
Yes. Provide details for each journey and mention any change of address or passengers on the return. Confirm the itinerary, price and availability of each transfer with Aller-Retour 74.
