Transfers made easy

Incredibly reliable, flexible, friendly. Transfers made easy, comfortable, stress free ride from airport to resort and back at a very reasonable price.
We've used Ben's Bus for the 3rd year in a row and would recommend them to anyone!

Thank you for this lovely review. See you in Year 4!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. Terrible company.

I wasn’t on their passenger list when I arrived for the bus, which immediately caused confusion. The bus left late, and after just two hours on the road, the driver took a full thirty-minute break for a sit-down dinner. (Despite the reply below, it was definitely 30 minutes and he did have a full hot dinner, I saw him getting it) There were only a handful of passengers, maybe 12, a quick toilet break would have done.

After driving for about an hour following that break, he stopped again due to an accident on the road and spent around fifty minutes standing outside vaping in the sun while on his phone. No updates or explanations were provided at any stage, leaving passengers completely unclear about what was happening. (Response to reply: I'd say he would have missed this major accident had he left on time and not stopped as long)

I was then swapped to another bus to complete the journey, which took approximately eight hours overall. The bus itself was freezing cold.

Overall, a truly dismal service. I would strongly advise avoiding this company.

Hi Lorraine. We are sorry you were unhappy with our service. We tried to call you and emailed you to discuss this.

Our girls at Lyon Airport do remember you. We can see you booked very last minute - on the morning of your transfer - and our reps had already printed their lists. They did get an email alert about this and they wrote your name on 1 of their lists but unfortunately our 2nd rep was doing your bus and your name hadn't been written on her list. We are sorry for this slight misunderstanding.

We can see that your bus left 15 minutes late, so we are sorry for that too.

After talking to our bus company partners, we now know that your driver made a 23 minutes stop after 2 hours at the request of other passengers who wanted to get some food. It is not fair to say he did this to 'have a sit-down dinner' as that is not true. We have given feedback to the bus company so the driver knows not to do this again.

Unfortunately your driver did then have to take another break due to an accident on the road. He made use of the congested and slow-moving traffic to stop and have his legal break so he could drive uninterrupted to the final destination of Val Thorens. At that service station another provider that we work with asked if we could take their passenger to Val Thorens and he would take our passengers to Moutiers, your final destination. This is not usual at all and we would never usually ask you to change vehicles. So again, we are sorry for this but we did it for the good of all passengers.

We appreciate that this would have looked chaotic and unorganised but we hope the above explains everything.

We hope that you did enjoy your holiday in the Alps.

Always late

Always late. Never trust a departure time it is a nightmare. Seriously it is really not normal at all

We're sorry that your bus left the airport 20 minutes late.

Our staff were grateful to the civility, grace, patience and understanding of our other passengers during this slight delay.

We wish you a pleasant holiday.

Ben’s bus to the rescue

Ben’s bus staff at Grenoble airport were fantastic. Our private taxi failed to pick us up and they swiftly got us on to the next available bus. The journey was great thank you.

Great service from Ben's Bus. Reps were always easy to find and even when there had been 1m+ of snow, they got us safely down the mountain!

Hi Anna.

We have investigated this and your identical Trip Advisor review and cannot find a booking that could be yours. Also no bus, by our records, left 43 minutes late to Grenoble Airport on the 21st Feb.

We suspect this review to be fake as we have replied in many different ways to this and the Trip Advisor review, posting our email address in the reviews, in the hope that you would get in touch. We have heard nothing from you.

To leave 2 different reviews on 2 different forums and then not get in touch so we can try to answer your questions and address any issue that you might have experienced is disappointing.

Great service from Ben's Bus and driver Najet

We had a transfer with Ben's Bus as part of our Erna Low ski package. Unfortunately the first bus to our resort (Alpe d'Huez) was already full so we had a two and a half hour wait at Grenoble airport for the next one. But we were rewarded with the loveliest driver, Najet. I wasn't feeling well and she was so caring and attentive. Ours was the first stop and it was cold and dark when we arrived. Najet helped us get our cases off the bus. I asked if my husband could get back on the bus to the third stop so that he could collect the keys to our apartment from the agency, then he would walk back to rejoin me. Najet would not hear of it. She got us and our cases back on the bus, said she would drop us off at the agency, complete her remaining drops, pick us up on her way back down and take us to our stop, which was just a few meters from our apartment. Above and beyond the call of duty! Apart from that, it was clear that Najet took great pride in providing excellent customer service and kept her bus clean and tidy. We would not hesitate to use Ben's Bus again.

Full bus 4 weeks in advance - very disappointing.

Have travelled on Bens Bus for a number of years and past reviews have given 5 stars.
4 stars this time as I have been unable to book my outward journey (full bus 4 weeks in advance). I am however anticipating the same good service on our return trip.
