Where do I find a taxi at Geneva Airport?

There are two terminals at Geneva Airport: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. You can find a taxi 24/7 outside the Terminal 1 taxi rank and during the winter months at the Terminal 2 rank. After collecting your luggage, you will head out of the main terminal on the Ground Floor and will see the rank located just in front of the Arrivals Hall.

*During bad weather or snowstorms, it can be difficult to find a taxi as fewer drivers are willing to make the journey to the airport.

Convenience

Waiting outside in the freezing cold for public transport or having to drag your luggage through multiple train stations is extremely stressful and time-consuming. That’s why taking a fast and reliable Geneva Airport taxi is a great transfer option. You can make your way directly to the door of your hotel in Verbier in just 2 hours, shaving an hour of the public transport option. However, during bad weather and peak travel times, there can be a very long queue for a taxi.

Editor’s Note

During snow storms, there can be very long waits for a local taxi. If you're traveling during winter, I recommend pre-booking your taxi to ensure a smooth and timely pickup.

Useful Tips

Geneva Airport taxis can take up to 3 passengers as standard, prices will increase for 4+ passengers.

You may be able to agree on a set-rate fare with your driver before you get in the taxi, as the drive to Verbier is a long journey.
