Long distance
Alps, Provence, Italy, Switzerland — without a single change.
Beyond a hundred kilometres or so the arithmetic changes. A train imposes connections and timetables; a short flight adds two transfers, a check-in and special baggage fees. A car with a driver then competes not on price but on total door-to-door time and on comfort: one vehicle, no handling of luggage, the departure time you choose, and the option to stop. We regularly run to the northern Alps — Courchevel, Val d'Isère, Méribel, Tignes — to Provence, to northern Italy as far as Genoa, Turin and Milan, and to Switzerland. Over these distances the price is firm and quoted in advance, tolls and fuel included, whatever the journey actually takes.
