Private chauffeur in Megève, by the day or by the week
Megève is 1h15 from Geneva airport and its centre is pedestrian all year round: you do not need a car there, you need a driver. Precellence puts a dedicated private chauffeur and a Mercedes E-Class, 7-seat V-Class or S-Class at your disposal by the day from €750 (VAT included) or by the week from €3,900, the same chauffeur from the first day to the last. English always, your language on request.
Geneva 1h15 away: exactly why a chauffeur changes everything here
Megève is 1h15 from Geneva airport, which is exactly why a chauffeur at your disposal changes everything: a day in Chamonix, lunch in Annecy, a meeting back in Geneva, without ever touching a steering wheel.
In the most discreet village of the Alps, your Mercedes V-Class and your chauffeur wait outside the Four Seasons, at Mont d'Arbois or at the foot of Rochebrune, and stay all week. The centre of Megève is pedestrian all year round: street parking is limited to a few hours, and the covered car parks have height limits that often rule out a van. Your chauffeur drops you at the edge of the pedestrian zone, waits, and collects you whenever you decide.
Children at the snow garden, grandparents at the spa, parents in the village: one 7-seat car and a chauffeur who knows everyone's timetable. You book with our Paris team in French, English or Arabic; the chauffeur comes to Megève with you and stays Saturday to Saturday, the same one from the first day to the last.
Winter tyres, chains, snow driving: the mountain law and the climb are our business
In Haute-Savoie, the French mountain law requires four 3PMSF winter tyres or chains on board from 1 November to 31 March. Our cars carry both. After Sallanches the road climbs to Megève and fills with snow quickly; our chauffeurs know it, drive carefully and set the departure time by the weather. The 7-seat V-Class carries skis, boots and pushchairs; our electric Mercedes stay in Paris.
Heading into the mountains with a chauffeur you have not met yet: here is, in writing, what is on board and who is driving.
- Approved winter or all-season tyres (3PMSF marking)
- Snow chains on board
- Child seats and booster seats fitted before you arrive (requested at booking)
- First-aid kit
- Blankets and water on board
- A chauffeur used to driving on snow
- A vehicle tracked in real time by our team
A typical day with your chauffeur in Megève
- Children to the snow garden or ski school, adults to Mont d'Arbois or Rochebrune.
- Lunch in the village, drop-off at the edge of the pedestrian zone; the chauffeur waits nearby.
- A run to Saint-Gervais or Combloux, or on to Chamonix for the Aiguille du Midi (40 minutes).
- Back to the chalet, shops and pharmacy on the way.
- Dinner at the Four Seasons or in town, then home: the car is there, so is the snow, chains on board.
A ten-hour day; beyond that, the "dinner run" option (three hours), at the price published below.

The family resort par excellence, one chauffeur for the whole family
Megève is a resort for families who do not all ski, nor every day: horse-drawn carriage rides, ice rink, spa, shopping, Annecy. A chauffeur available all week, English-speaking and, on request, speaking your language (or, for discretion, not speaking it), changes the holiday.
A 7-seat V-Class for the children and the nanny, an S-Class for the parents, the second vehicle at 10% off for parties of 8 to 15, a single WhatsApp thread. Your language, on request: a chauffeur who speaks your language, or on the contrary a discreet chauffeur who does not, as you prefer; it is requested at booking, 48 hours ahead, at no extra cost and subject to availability: we answer in writing, frankly. Winter 2026-27: Megève opens on 19 December 2026 and closes on 4 April 2027 (provisional dates announced by the resort).

Can I come to Megève without a car?
Yes, and it is simpler that way: the village centre is pedestrian all year round, street parking is limited and the covered car parks have height limits that often rule out a van.
