A Professional and Competent Service

A group of 11 people were going on holiday to Austria in August. Although the flights and hotel were booked there was no transfers included. I chose AlpinBus mainly because of their website which was comprehensive and informative. The process of booking a return transfer was very easy and the price was reasonable so I completed the booking.
I had an email shortly after confirming the booking and providing information about the pickups. The day before our journey I received another email confirming the time of pickup and where the driver would be.
We were taken to the resort in two comfortable vehicles by two competent drivers and the same process happened for our return journey. This is a professional service and AlpinBus is highly recommended.

Super nice But LOST

Super nice and accommodating. Clean van. But what really needed was a driver who knew how to get to the airport. We booked from a major tourist location to a major airport, literally two highways. Yet the driver insisted on following his GPS, despite my - is this really the right way…how long does your GPS say it’s going to take because mine says…
The driver took us literally to a dirt road…and only decided to turn around when confronted with a local private road toll?!? What is that anyway.
Lost over an hour of time backtracking and restarting on what should have been a 90 minute drive.

Dear Customer,
We sincerely apologise for your experience. A 30-minute delay, poor communication, and the lack of assistance with your luggage—especially while travelling with a child—are not the standards we expect from our drivers.

We are also sorry that you were unable to reach our support team despite calling several times. We understand how frustrating this combination of issues must have been and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. The matter has been raised with the transport provider involved for review.

Best regards,
AlpinBus

Our driver was the best

Our driver was the best! He was professional, courteous, prompt, safe, helpful (with our many bags!), and he was a delight to talk with. We hope that he will be our driver again in the future. Thank you all!

SCAM DID NOT TURN UP

WORST COMPANY, DO NOT TRUST.
I booked my transfer and got a confirmation email. As my flight was delayed by an hour I attempted to call them to let them know. As usual they did not pick up the phone, so i just hoped for the best as they had my flight details. I arrived late at night at geneva airport and the transfer was no where to be seen i walked around for 30 minutes and tried to call them again, and once again they didn’t answer the phone. Because it was so late at night I wasn’t prepared to spend ages waiting round for the transfer to possibly turn up, so I had to book an uber, which was so expensive. I’ve had no further correspondence from the company, and would want to warn others be wary with this company, and book with another more reputable transfer company. I’ve had no refund and no communication.

We are sorry to hear how stressful this experience was, particularly given the late-night arrival.

According to the information provided to us by the driver, he was present at Geneva Airport from approximately 11:00 PM until 1:30 AM and reported being unable to reach the passenger using the contact details provided in the booking.

Our Customer Support Team has been in contact regarding this matter and has requested additional information, including call records and arrival details, so that these can be compared with the driver’s records and the circumstances fully reviewed.

The case has been escalated to the responsible manager and remains under investigation. We understand the frustration involved and want to ensure that the matter is assessed based on all available information before a final decision is made.

Almost ran out of gas

Our driver didn’t estimate the gas needed and we nearly ran out of gas. This created a lot of stress for most of the trip. Had we not been able to roll downhill we would have likely been stranded and asking for gas.

Not the experience I expected given how much we paid. Will be looking at other booking services for future trips.

Sandis was great, other driver terrible

Sandis was great! Very easy to communicate with and professional. He contacted us the day before to confirm information and see if there’s anything he could do to make the ride better. Our other ride with AlpinBus driver Mob? was terrible. We were ready early as we knew he had another ride. When I texted him 15 min early to let him know we’re ready whenever he was, he said he was already there at an intersection. There was parking right next to our front door but he said he was by the lake which is a 10 min walk with young kids and lots of luggage. He also would not say where he was located or what the vehicle looked like so we had to go up to several vehicles in the area until we stumbled in him. Then he yelled at us that we were late when I was trying to text and call him but he wasn’t responding. We would never use AlpinBus again with how bad the experience was.

On time and reasonable pricing

Our driver was on time. Took us from the cruise ship to a water taxi (included in the price). We were dropped directly at our hotel in Venice. He also played some pretty great 80’s music which we requested to be turned up! Very reasonable price! Highly recommend.

driver was 2+ hours late and only advised 20 mins prior to agreed meeting time. we had to pre pay for the transfer which was expensive. we understand that traffic is traffic and unpredictable however being informed 20 mins prior to the departure time we booked, that the driver was 2 hours late was not professional.

Dear customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We fully understand how frustrating it is to be informed of a significant delay only 20 minutes before your scheduled pickup time. While traffic conditions and unforeseen road incidents can sometimes cause unavoidable delays, we recognise that the timing of our communication was not satisfactory.

We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our service and communication procedures. Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused and hope we have the opportunity to provide you with the reliable service that AlpinBus strives to deliver.

Best regards,
AlpinBus

AlpinBus canceled our reserved trip the day of travel!

Reserved the trip over one month ahead of time. AlpinBus sent an email the day of reserved travel and indicated that they needed to cancel our transport, leaving us stranded and scrambling to find alternate transportation. Very poor approach to providing a service...

Dear customer,

We sincerely apologise for cancelling your transfer on the day of travel and for the stress this caused. We fully understand that booking more than a month in advance should provide confidence that your transportation is secured.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen operational circumstances, we were unable to complete the transfer or arrange a suitable alternative. We recognise that the late notice left you in a very difficult situation and fell below the standard of service we aim to provide. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and disruption caused.

Best regards,
AlpinBus

Dangerous disregard of speed limit

Booking was simple and efficient. On the day the driver changed the collection time. I was informed by the company they aim to get us to airport 2 hours ahead of flight departure. Driver claimed heavy traffic and collected us 5.5 hours before departure. He then proceeded to drive in excess of 129 kmh 23 times on the trip with a maximum speed of 138 ( speed limit is 120). When I flagged this to HQ they intimated the drivers would not speed due to rigerous rules in Switzerland. I then provided screen shots of my WAZE and life 360 speeds for the drive which went unanswered. We reached the airport 4 hours before departure which was farcical. Sadly as a first time user we would not use this company again.

Dear customer,

We are very sorry for the experience you described. Passenger safety is our highest priority, and any report of excessive speed is taken extremely seriously.

This matter has been escalated for internal review with the transport provider and driver involved. We sincerely regret that your first experience with AlpinBus fell so far below the standard you expected and deserved.
