Taxi Montreux Jazz Festival 2026 · transfers & late-night returns

Airport shuttle, drop-off as close as possible to the 2m2c and returns after the concerts — 24/7 throughout the festival.

Every summer the Montreux Jazz Festival transforms the Riviera: two weeks of concerts at the Stravinski Auditorium, the Montreux Jazz Lab and the free lakeside stages, late into the night. Parking is saturated and the quays are often closed to traffic. Our chauffeur collects you at Geneva airport (GVA) or your hotel, drops you at the nearest authorised point to the entrance and comes back for you after the final encore — even at 2am. Book ahead, agree a fixed fare, and coordinate by WhatsApp on the night itself.

Geneva airport transfer

Geneva (GVA) → Montreux in a little over an hour, flight tracking included and no surcharge if your flight is delayed.

Stravinski Auditorium and Montreux Jazz Lab: when the quays are closed, we use the nearest authorised drop-off point to save you the walk and the crowds.

Late-night returns after the concerts

The festival often runs until 2am. You book your return in advance and the chauffeur waits for you at the agreed meeting point.

Chauffeur at your disposal

By the half-day, the day or for your whole stay: hotel ↔ venue shuttles, lakeside dinners, escapes to Chillon Castle or the Lavaux vineyards between sets.
