what dates do you run your grenoble airport buses?

Our dates of operation for the 2018 / 2019 winter ski season are from the 15th December 2018 to the 20th April 2019, depending on the resort you are going to. Please select your resort from our Grenoble Airport page and then expand the section DATES further down the page.

For Alpe d’Huez, Les Deux Alpes, Bourg d’Oisans, Rochetaillee (for Oz and Vaujany) we run a bus within 2 hours of any flight landing, every day of the week that there is a scheduled flight into Grenoble Airport.

For Aime, Bourg St Maurice, Les Menuires, Moutiers, St Martin de Belleville, St Foy, Tignes, Val Thorens and Val d’Isere we run 6 buses every Saturday and an early morning Sunday bus.

For Chamrousse, we have up to 4 buses every Saturday.

What time do your grenoble airport buses go?

Our bus timetable works around the flight arrivals and departures so you never have to wait long. The easiest way to find the bus time that connects with your flight is to put your details into our Booking Form. Once you have selected your dates a list of all flights and our ski transfer bus times will appear.

What is your policy on carrying children?

Our policy on carrying children depends on the route you are interested in. For more exact details about what we can do for you if you have children in your group, please visit our childrens page.

Why is there sometimes a wait between my flight landing & your bus leaving?

In order to offer these unbeatable prices, we group several flights together onto one bus. This means that some people will have a longer wait at the airport than others – although conversely, it normally means that your return bus will be perfectly timed for your return flight home. We allow enough time for you to land, go through passport control and collect any bags/sports equipment before boarding our bus.

I have not got my e-Ticket!

If you have booked transfers using the Ben’s Bus website and you have not received an e-ticket from us or it has been lost, then you can send it to yourself again on this page.

I have my e-Ticket on my phone but not printed – is this OK?

This is fine. Please just ensure that you can see all the information that is on the e-Ticket as it is really useful stuff! The driver and / or rep will accept an e-Ticket that is on your phone.

How many stops will there be during my journey?

This depends on how many clients we have booked onto other resorts. Generally the stops do not have a significant impact on the overall journey time.

My payment fails! What shall I do?

We are sorry if you have problems with our payment site. This could be for one of the following reasons:

1. If your transaction is coming up as “Declined” then that is usually your card issuer refusing the payment.

a) This could be because the Card Number, Expiry Date, CVV 3 Digit Code or 3d Secure Password (see point 4 below) have been entered incorrectly. We would suggest trying again and ensuring these details are entered correctly

b) Your bank has declined the transaction due to security reasons. We would suggest contacting your card issuer to ask them if they have blocked this payment for a particular reason

c) On the payment page where you put your card details in, you may have selected that you wish to pay in your local currency and there was an issue with this. Please try again but please time, select that you wish to pay in GBP (Pound Sterling £).

2. There was a temporary problem with the payment site – please try again in a short while.

3. You may be using foreign letters when you put your name / address into the Payment site. Please replace these with latin letters.

4. You have signed up to 3d Secure (Verified by VISA or Mastercard Secure) or another password driven security system operated by your bank. Sometimes our payment system is not compatible with the bank’s system. We would suggest trying again with a different card.

Please do try again following the above tips and if it still does not work, try with another card or from another computer. If you still encounter problems with multiple cards then please contact ben@bensbus.co.uk providing the the name of the card holder, the exact time and date of the failed transaction and if possible a screenshot of the error you receive.

The following are our rules on carrying and charging for children.

A Child must be between the age of 2 and 11 (inclusive) at the time of travel to receive the 10% child discount. Anyone 12 or older at the time of travel is defined as an "Adult" and must pay the full Adult fare. If your child requires a booster seat, we will need you to provide this yourself.

An Infant is defined as any child that would normally require a baby seat. You have 2 options if you are travelling with an Infant:

Your infant may legally sit on your lap for this journey and in this case, you do not need to pay for your infant. However, you may not sit on the front seats of the bus - that is the seats that are exposed to the windscreen. We will need you to email us the infants name once you have booked so we have an accurate list of all passengers.
If you wish your infant to be strapped into a baby seat, you must provide this yourself. In this case, you must book a seat on our service for this infant. You can select a Child in our booking system and therefore receive the 10% child discount.

For more detailed information on carrying children on all our services, please visit our Children's Page.

If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

Thank you for your understanding.

It is regrettable that children under the age of 4 years are not allowed to travel on our services. Unfortunately, some of the coaches that we operate use two-point lap belts which are not compatible with the majority of baby seats. Under Swiss law it is forbidden to transport babies on the parents lap. Any children 4 years old and above can travel on our service but will have to occupy an individual seat and pay the full fare.
