 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Has anyone had any experience good or bad of using Geneva Shuttle.
I got a very competive quote for them to do a transfer from Geneva to Les Gets and the want payment from a card to confirm the booking - details of which they want via email.
This was a few weeks ago and I had forgotten to make the payment/give details. They sent a reminder email but now the website appears to be down. Web address is www.geneva-shuttle.com
Just want to know if anyone has dealt with them before or whether I should just stay clear.

@cham08, I haven't come across them but looking them up on google there are a couple of reviews, from some time ago, both in French, and I think one was about not wanting to pass on CC details. You could try Skiidy or one of the other transfer companies.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Don't know a thing about Geneva Shuttle, but you have two red flags; web site down, asking for bank details by email. Run away.

They were a few quid cheaper than other quotes I had but when spread out per person it is not worth the risk. Just thought I would check to see if anybody had ever used them.
Thanks

In 12 years of operating transfers never heard of them. Looks as though the domain was registered in 2012. Here's the details of the who-is lookup (admin and registrar email addys look dodgy):

Last time I used alpybus. Paid the driver in cash. Wanted euros and had to get it before as cash machines in Geneva airport don't give out euros. They were ok but changed our pickup time to quite a few hours earlier citing possible bad weather. My suspicion is that it had nothing to do with the weather, but because it suited other pickups best.

you'd be right in that assumption. If you read their t&c's now they can change your pickup time by up to 2 hour both to and from the airport and there's nothing you can do about it.
As for the OP. I'd recommend, you book with one of the well known companies: Morzexpress.com (but I'm biased), Skidygonzales, Ski-lifts, Skitransfers.com, powdercab.com et al. (apologies to anyone I've left out).

Wow, how did complaints about Alpybus get dragged into a thread on Geneva Shuttle? For balance:
Yesterday I used ChamExpress, they were great, turned up on time, got us there in time and basically did what they said they would do. I have used ChamExpress many times and they have never let me down.
Most of the time I use AlpyBus, they are great. They turn up on time and text a nice 'tight' pick up slot in advance. They have always got us there on time and when needed reallocated my bus when a flight was delayed. I have used them many times and they have never let me down.
None of that helps the OP who wants to go to Les Gets, I think (can't see the OP in this screen).

Actually indirectly I guess it does help the OP, as (indirectly) I suppose I can recommend MorzExpress.
