 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone recommend a reasonable taxi company to take us from Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes on Saturday 21st Jan
We arrive at 15:35 (if the plane is on time) and are loathe to use Bens Bus because the Ts and Cs don't actually guarantee to get you to the resort and as we arrive quite late in the afternoon if the plane is delayed we could miss it and be stuck.
we may also get a taxi back as we need to leave LDA very early on the 28th, although if it was reliable Bensbus would probably work out cheaper as there are only 3 of us.
On the very slim chance anyone happens to be travelling to/from Stanstead on Ryanair we would be happy to share a minibus!
I have a car booked just in case we can't sort out a decent transfer (can cancel it) but it looks like it would be a waste of time in LDA as our apartment is fairly central.
Any thoughts gladly welcomed - apparently its really close so the prices I am seeing seem really steep.

It's a three hour round trip for a taxi - not that close.

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

@skimummk, we were very happy with Alp'Bièvre Taxis www.alpbievretaxis.fr (via FindTransfers.com) last year - about €100 each return for 6 of us including a 4am departure for an early return flight. Allow lots of time at Grenoble Airport on your return - I haven't seen chaos/queues like that for a very long time!

true... I guess the problem is there would be no return booking for them.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@oui4ski - thanks, I've asked for a quote - I need more friends! splitting 6 ways makes things much more affordable, but they may have a smaller car.
The hire car including snow chains is £380 and I don't think we need to use tolls so even with fuel its a lot less than 600E

Try MV Transport - we have always used them for our Grenoble - ADH transfers.
Book as a shared transfer - they have never let us down

Hi DaveD - have you used the public buses and if so do you know where to get them from? We arrive early morning on 21st and Ben’s bus is already full.
Yellow Snow - will also check out MV Transport
Skimmummk - fingers crossed we have chosen the right week. May bump into you in the Umbrella or Polar Bear

@skimummk, Ben's Bus is usually pretty reliable, they've been going for years now.
