- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €90 - €120. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals or book via a licensed app before arriving. Flat rates are common for Chamonix; agree the price before boarding and refuse unlicensed drivers who approach inside the terminal.
- Best alternative: The official Sat/Le Bus Direct coach from Geneva Airport to Chamonix centre (€30)
- Validate your ticket in the machine on board the bus when you board. Train tickets must be validated in the orange machines on the platform before boarding. Ski resort shuttles may require validated tickets too. Fine without a valid ticket: €75.
- Tipping is customary but modest, around 5-10% in restaurants for good service. Taxi drivers do not expect tips. Rounding up is fine everywhere.
- French law requires prices to be displayed; there is no legal cover or service charge in France since service is included. Extra charges like bread or a terrace fee are rare but should be listed on the menu. Be wary of menus without prices, which is illegal.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at POS and ATMs. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over independent high-fee machines. Check if your card charges foreign transaction fees at home before travel.
