Full guide: crossing the France–Switzerland border by VTC taxi

The Pays de Gex shares over 40 km of border with Switzerland, making cross-border passage a daily reality. Hello Taxi VTC crosses dozens of times a day.

Customs crossing points

Main customs (24/7)

  • Ferney-Voltaire / Meyrin: busiest, direct to central Geneva and the airport. Long queues at peak hours.
  • Saint-Genis-Pouilly / CERN: access CERN Swiss side and Geneva bypass.

Secondary customs (variable hours)

  • Sauverny / Collex-Bossy: calmer alternative.
  • Mategnin: small post.
  • Perly: south Geneva access.

Waiting times

  • Off-peak (10:00–16:00): 1–2 min.
  • Morning peak (07:00–09:00): 15 to 45 min at Ferney.
  • Evening peak (17:00–19:00): 20 to 40 min Geneva → France.
  • Weekends: smooth except Friday/Sunday evenings.

Our edge: real-time queue monitoring, route via Sauverny or Mategnin when Ferney is jammed — fixed fare unchanged.
