Complete ground transportation for groups
Organizing group transport in Lausanne requires attention to the city's terrain and Swiss regulations. 8Rental manages these logistics so you can focus on your itinerary. Our fleet includes midi coaches seating 19 to 35 passengers, standard coaches for 36 to 49 travelers, and executive coaches accommodating up to 57 people. Each vehicle meets Euro 6 emission standards and carries full Swiss licensing and insurance.
All drivers speak French and English, know where coaches can park in the Ouchy district near the Olympic Museum, and understand the access regulations for Lausanne's hilly Old Town streets. For Geneva Airport pickups, we monitor your flight status and adjust timing so the coach arrives precisely when you clear customs.
Your quote includes the driver, fuel, tolls on the A1 motorway, parking fees, and vehicle insurance. There are no surprise charges when the trip ends. One coordinator handles your booking from first contact through final drop-off, available by phone throughout your journey.

Where we pick-up passengers in Lausanne for group travel
Lausanne sits on three hills above Lake Geneva, with the medieval Cite district at its summit and the lakeside Ouchy neighborhood below. A private coach allows your group to cover this terrain efficiently. Corporate groups attending conferences at SwissTech Convention Center benefit from direct door-to-door service rather than coordinating taxis for 30 or more attendees.
Tour operators running day trips find coach hire practical for the classic Lausanne itinerary: morning at the Notre-Dame Cathedral, midday lunch in Place de la Palud, afternoon at the Olympic Museum with its interactive exhibits and lakefront sculpture garden. The driver positions the coach at designated parking while your group explores on foot.
The UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards east of Lausanne present narrow terraced roads where coach parking requires advance planning. Our drivers coordinate with local winemakers and know the turnaround points, allowing groups to visit producers in Epesses or Saint-Saphorin without logistical complications.
Group transport Lausanne for every schedule
Airport transfers between Geneva Airport and Lausanne hotels take approximately 45 minutes via the A1 motorway. For early morning or late arrivals, the driver waits at the designated coach parking area. Flight delays trigger automatic schedule adjustments through our tracking system.
Day charters work well for corporate events, wedding transport, or sports teams traveling to competitions. School groups visiting the Olympic Museum can count on drivers certified for transporting minors under Swiss regulations. For MICE events, we coordinate shuttle rotations between hotels and conference venues, timing runs to match session schedules.
Multi-day tours to Montreux, Vevey, or over the Alps to Zermatt require planning around driving time regulations: a maximum of 9 hours daily with mandatory breaks after 4.5 hours. We build rest periods into your itinerary from the start, placing stops at scenic viewpoints rather than random motorway parking lots.
How the process works
Submit your request through the quote form with dates, pickup locations, and passenger count. Within two hours during business days, you receive pricing that covers every cost. Accept the quote, pay a deposit, and your booking is confirmed. One week before travel, you receive your driver's contact details and vehicle information.
On the day of service, expect your coach to arrive 15 minutes before scheduled departure. The driver checks climate control, confirms the route, and welcomes passengers aboard. Throughout the trip, you have direct phone access to the driver and backup support from our 24/7 coordination team.
