Service & availability

The details of my booking have changed / are wrong. What do I do?

You can make updates to your booking on the booking management page of our website. Changes will either be automatically accepted or may need to be approved by a member of staff. If the alteration requested means a change in price, you will be shown what the price difference is and be invited to accept or decline the offer.

Why provide a mobile number?

It is very helpful to have a mobile number, in case the office, or your driver, needs to contact you. Please provide a number, giving the full international dialing code. E.g +44 7787 1234 567. We don't use this number to send you any marketing info. Only to help us make things run smoothly.

I have a large group. Can I have a mix of transfer types?

Certainly. Our vehicles take up to 8 passengers, so groups of 9 or more will need to be split. To keep things cost effective, why not book a private transfer for 8 then a shared transfer for the remaining members of your group. This works really well with groups of 9 or 10. Use the 'Multiple Transfer' facility of the website to book multiple transfers.

What number should I call if there are any problems?

The number you must call if you are experiencing any difficulties is detailed on your booking confirmation and travel and ticket instructions. Please ensure you have a copy of this available for when you travel

How do I call your French telephone number with my mobile phone?

Always use the international dialling code and drop the '0' from the from the number. For example, our operations number 09 70 44 61 10 should be called using the number +33 9 70 44 61 10 or 0033 9 70 44 61 10

Shared and private transfers

What is a 'Shared' transfer?

This is the the most cost effective option. For flight arrivals, you may be grouped with other passengers landing within 90 minutes of your flight. For flight departures, you may need to leave up to 5 1/2 hours before your flight departs to fit in with other passengers timings. The route the vehicle takes to your destination may travel via other villages in the Grand Massif area before dropping you off or collecting you. We do not detour via other ski areas. We ensure you reach the airport at least 2 hours prior to your flight departure.

What is a 'Private' Transfer?

A private transfer is, as the name implies, for you and your group alone. No other passengers share this. The driver leaves when you are ready and takes you directly to the door of your destination. Great for larger groups.

Pickup & drop-off points

Can you pick us up from an airport hotel?

Private transfers can be picked up from hotels near the airport. Select the hotel you are staying at when making the booking. Shared transfers must meet the driver at the Go Massif meeting point in the main termainal arrivals hall.

Do I need to provide a full address of my accommodation?

Use the address search facility to find the correct address of your accommodation. If an address cannot be found, please provide as much detail as possible and a memeber of staff will try to find the correct address from the information provided.

Where do we meet our driver?

Full details of where you will be met are provided on your booking confirmation. For flight arrivals at Geneva, We have a dedicated meeting desk in the arrivals hall of the Swiss sector. On busy days we will have a dedicated member of staff to meet and greet passengers. On quieter days your specific driver will meet you at this desk. If the driver is not there use the phone number given on your ticket and travel instructions. A member of our operations team will then give you an estimated time of arrival for your driver. Almost all other pickup points will be at the door of the building specified. Please read your booking confirmation carefully. If your pickup point is difficult to find, we will send you extra information.

What time will I be picked up?

This depends on the type of transfer you have booked and is detailed on your booking confirmation. For transfers to flight departures, your pickup time will be confirmed to you by text message the day before your transfer. This is because the transfer time can vary due to snow and traffic conditions and we aim to get you to the airport at least 2 hours before your flight. If you do not receive this text by 18h00 on the day before your transfer, please call the number given to you on your ticket and travel instructions. Our operations team will then tell you your pick up time,

Can we pick up our keys / linen at the office on the way?

If you need to pick up anything before going to your accommodation, our usual procedure is to drop off 1 member of the group to pick up the keys then take the rest of the group to the door of the accommodation. The driver can rarely wait for keys, etc, to be picked up as it can take a long time. If you would rather, we can drop the whole group at the place where you pick up the keys. The pick up location for the return will always be at the door of the accommodation, not the place where you drop your keys.

Can we drop off our keys / linen before departing?

All administration (key and linen drop off, etc) must be completed prior to the driver picking you up. We never allocate time for you to do these tasks with the driver. Doing so will make both the driver and you late and the driver may have to refuse your request.

I don't know where I want to be dropped off. Problem?

If you do not know where you are staying, your pick-up or drop-off location on your booking will be the default for the selected resort. This is generally a well known location in the centre. You can update your booking to the correct address up to 2 days before travel.

What time will you pick us up for our flight departure?

An approximate time is provided on the booking confirmation. We will send you an sms the evening before to confirm the exact time. We do this because journey times will vary due to weather and traffic conditions. We always aim to get you to the airport at least 2 hours before your flight departs.

Do you charge for driver waiting time at the airport if we are delayed?

Normally no. But we do expect to be informed of any delays in advance. If you are significantly delayed, please be aware that we may have to reassign you a vehicle and that you might not depart as soon as you arrive.

Flights & the airport

We are going to be late. What do we do?

Please contact us using the number on your booking confirmation as soon as you know of any delays. We will then do our best to make alternate arrangements for your transfer.

What happens if our flight is diverted?

Normally your airline lays on a service to get you back to your original destination. Normally we can only provide a service from your original choice of airport. Please call us when you land at the new airport to let us know your new eta. We will then tell you what options are available.

Can I get cash out at Geneva airport?

How much luggage can I bring?

Child seats & young passengers

Do I have to book a seat for a child / infant?

Every passenger, now matter how young, requires by law their own seat. Therefore the number of passengers you book needs to include children and infants. The correct size baby seat or booster cushion is provided, free-of-charge, for every child. Please submit details of your requirements as part of booking. By law, no children may travel on the laps of adults during the journey.

Can I bring a push chair?

In the vehicle

Can we stop at a supermarket on the way?

Supermarket stops are not possible. Go Massif advise that you shop at the MIGROS supermarket located in Geneva airport's train station. This is very near to where we meet you, it has a good range of produce and prices are similar to the French supermarkets. More details can be found on the Geneva airport website. Please always bring reusable bags with you for shopping.

Can we eat or drink in the vehicle?

Eating and drinking is not permitted in our vehicles. This includes baby food. If you have a strict meal time regime, please allow for this in your travel plans. Maybe it is best to request a specific ‘pick up’ time in such circumstances.

What happens if a passenger feels car sick?

If you or any of your party feel car sick please inform the driver immediately. He can slow down or stop if necessary. Adults please monitor your children, this will be the first time some of them have travelled on such roads, they will not always be aware that they are sick. Please ask the driver for a sick bag if you think any of your group may be car sick. Please be aware that children playing computer games or reading books are likely to be car sick. We charge an 80 euro cleaning fee for any passengers soiling our vehicles.

I left my phone in the car, how do I get it back?

To start a search for something left in one of our vehicles, fill in the lost property form on our website with a full description of each item. Once we have your report we contact the driver concerned and ask them to search the vehicle, and we reply within 48 hours of the report with the result of the search.
