The service was efficient and the back up response when our flight was cancelled was excellent. While the original transfer company could not provide an alternative transfer, the support and timely responsiveness was above expectations. I will definitely use again.

Excellent transfers in both directions. Very responsible drivers and comfortable, well maintained vehicles. Our late night journey into our resort was particularly challenging because of heavy snow but our driver (Camille) couldn't have handled things more professionally. Great company.

I found the transfers very comfortable and safe. Both drivers looked after us well ( George and Gustarvo) choice of music and didn’t feel the need to chat. Return transfer got us to Geneva in plenty of time for check in. Will use in the future.

The drivers were so helpful. Everything was very smooth. The communication was second to none. We had an email a couple of days before with our driver's phone number. The driver sent us a message on the day to say he was in position and where he was. Excellent. Can't recommend highly enough.

Everything went 100% smoothly, from initial enquiry to final drop-off. We asked for 'extras' when we booked (and I think that good communication is key): Supermarket stop? No problem! Early pick-up for the return journey? No problem! Our plane was late as well, and the driver was waiting! Good price too, for midweek transfers.

Simon was fantastic on the transfer from Grenoble to St Martin. He knew back routes to avoid the terrible February half term traffic and got us to the resort in good time. Would highly recommend him as a great driver with excellent knowledge of the local roads.

Highly recommend Cool Runnings as a transfer company. Their vehicles are modern, clean and comfortable. Their level of contact and correspondence is good and leaves you feeling sure of the arrangements. Their drivers are friendly, careful and efficient. Only downside is the cost. Having said that it still (just) compared favorably to the alternative of hiring a car, petrol, insurance and parking.

Could not recommend this company enough. Lovely drivers both ways, good communication from the company and spotlessly clean cars. Had to change our transfers from Geneva to Lyon. Snow Compare and Cool Runnings made this an easy process and kept us well informed at all times. Thank you both companies for a really helpful and professional service. You will certainly be our first choice next time we visit the Alps.
