We can choose between two main routes: the A2 motorway via Bellinzona and Chiasso, or the scenic Lake Maggiore route (Simplon road and A26) which avoids border traffic at peak times. Our chauffeurs assess the fastest option in real time.

During the Locarno Film Festival (August) we handle dozens of transfers each year for VIP guests, journalists and film productions.

On request we provide chauffeurs in formal attire with experience in high-end hospitality.
