Was a bit worried about our driver on the way out. He was clearly tired. The driver on the way back explained that they are working long hours. Both were really nice and polite, and communication was great throughout, from drivers and the company. But, it just left me wondering if the driver gets enough of a break. I appreciate Geneva to Val is a long journey so tiredness can occur but it made for a nervous journey.

Reply: All our drivers get 2 days off per week and the driver in question actually finished the day before at 16:00. On the day of your transfer, he drove straight from HQ, as this was his first job of the day. We have spoken to the driver and he confirmed he was feeling a little under the weather that day. We hope this gives you some reassurance about our drivers and the breaks they receive.

The communication from the company into the lead up to the transfer were great. They were very understanding when our flight got delayed and it had no effect on the transfer at all! The transfer itself was so comfortable and our driver was great, offering us a treat when we set off, giving us all the information about the transfer, and even pointing out sites along the way! I cannot recommend Snow Compare enough and I’ll be using them again no doubt.

Driver blindly following sat nav drove us up the wrong side of mountain and down again then couldn't find road from B St M to Les Arcs - transfer took an hour and a half longer than should have ! Return journey wasn't much better - driver couldn't find our Chalet and we ended up running around resort trying to find him so didn't miss our flight.

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.

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.
