Why Book a Private Chauffeur for Your Stay

Courchevel spans several mountain neighbourhoods (Courchevel 1850, Le Praz, Moriond, La Tania) linked by mountain roads that quickly become covered in snow and traffic during high season. A private chauffeur, available on request, removes this constraint entirely: access to restaurants, evenings out or the airport, without waiting or logistics.

Hourly booking: more than a simple transfer

The hourly chauffeur booking goes further than a simple transfer: the chauffeur remains at the client's service for several hours, with the possibility of multiple stops (a boutique, a lunch, an appointment) without booking a new journey each time. It is the most suitable solution for a full day or an evening spanning several addresses.

Built for multi-stop days

Coming off the slopes in late afternoon, a boutique fitting, dinner, then back to the chalet: each stage flows into the next with no new journey to book, the chauffeur simply waiting between appointments.

A tailored service

It is also a matter of style: the same vehicle for the outward and return journey, a chauffeur who knows your schedule and habits, and a service that recedes into the background to let the stay take centre stage. Many clients prefer a single chauffeur for the entire stay rather than booking journey by journey.

For families, a child seat or booster can be added to the booking, and the number of checked and cabin bags is taken into account from the moment of the request, to anticipate the vehicle best suited to the group.

Which vehicle for which use

The Mercedes E-Class suits journeys and hourly bookings for two to three passengers with light luggage, the V-Class suits families or groups of up to six people, while the S-Class, Range Rover Sport and AMG G63 suit clients seeking a more spacious or more statement vehicle, with a longer minimum hourly booking duration.

Discover chauffeur bookings by the hour

A typical day with a chauffeur in Courchevel

Pick-up at the chalet in late morning to reach a mountain restaurant, waiting during lunch, then on to another address for the afternoon: this kind of programme, impossible to organise with taxis booked one by one, becomes simple with a dedicated chauffeur who already knows the day's plans.

Adapting to last-minute changes

An earlier departure, an address added at the last minute or a change of restaurant during the day: an hourly booking naturally absorbs these adjustments, with the chauffeur reachable directly rather than through a new booking.

Chauffeur and confidentiality

Part of Courchevel's clientele seeks discretion above all: our chauffeurs are used to clients who are demanding on this point, with no itinerary or appointment shared beyond what is strictly necessary to organise the journey.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum duration for an hourly booking?

The minimum duration depends on the model: a five-hour half day is enough in an E-Class or V-Class, while the S-Class, Range Rover Sport, AMG G63 and Sprinter are booked for at least ten hours.

Can the chauffeur wait during a fitting or lunch?

Yes, that is exactly the principle of the hourly booking: the chauffeur stays on site and sets off again as soon as you're ready, with no limit on the number of stops within the booked duration.

Can an airport transfer be combined with an hourly booking?

Absolutely: many clients book an arrival transfer, then a full-day hourly booking for the rest of their stay.

How many vehicles does LimoAirportGroup have in its fleet?

LimoAirportGroup relies on a large fleet of premium vehicles (Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, S-Class, Range Rover Sport and Mercedes-AMG G63) to guarantee chauffeur availability whatever the number of passengers or the stay's configuration.

Can the vehicle be changed during the stay?

Yes, the vehicle can be adjusted to changing needs (a larger group, more luggage), subject to availability within the fleet.

Calling on a Courchevel private chauffeur for the duration of the stay means entrusting your movements to a Courchevel transport concierge that knows every road, every schedule and every requirement of an international clientele, from the airport transfer to the last evening out.
