The Car for This Stay

Why the Mercedes V-Class works in Montreux

Families who spend weeks on the Riviera usually arrive with three generations and more luggage than any saloon could manage. The V-Class was made for that: seven seats, a rear lounge where everyone faces each other, sliding doors and room for six large suitcases. Rent a Mercedes V-Class in Montreux and we deliver it to your Riviera hotel on the day you land in Geneva, ready for Chillon in the morning and the glacier the day after.

  • Delivered to the Riviera Land at Geneva and the car comes to your Montreux or Vevey hotel the same day, fuelled and cooled. Flying privately? We coordinate the handover with your arrival at the FBO instead.
  • Face to face on the way to Chillon The castle is 15 minutes away, barely time to settle in. On longer outings, the facing rear seats turn the drive into family time rather than rows of headrests.
  • Vevey and the vineyards Vevey and Lavaux are about 25 minutes away. The Chaplin statue and the giant fork in the lake keep the children busy while the adults look up at the terraces.
  • A calm climb to the glacier Tri-zone climate and a quiet cabin make the 1h15 drive to Glacier 3000 a chance for the youngest to nap, while grandparents enjoy the view through the deep-tinted windows.

Local know-how

Good to know in Montreux

Jazz Festival logistics

In early July, the festival brings two weeks of evening crowds to the lakefront. Tell us your dates: we plan delivery around concert nights and point out drop-off spots so grandparents do not have to walk far.

Driven some days, driving others

Some families prefer a driver for a shopping day in Geneva and take the wheel themselves for the lake. Chauffeur add-ons can be arranged day by day, in the same car.

Lavaux on foot

The Corniche road is fine for the V-Class, but many vineyard lanes are single-track. For a terrace walk, park in Chexbres or Cully and explore on foot.

Questions

Mercedes V-Class in Montreux: questions we get asked

Can the V-Class be waiting at our Montreux hotel when we arrive from Geneva Airport?

Yes. Share your flight number and hotel name, and the car is delivered to the Riviera the same day, fuelled and cooled, at the hour you choose.

Is the V-Class practical during the Jazz Festival?

Yes, for day trips and drop-offs. Use the sliding doors at the hotel entrance, walk to the lakefront stages in the evening, and keep the car for Chillon or Lavaux during the day.

Can we have a driver on some days only?

Yes. Chauffeur add-ons are flexible: driven to Geneva for shopping one day, driving yourselves to Glacier 3000 the next, in the same car.

Is Glacier 3000 manageable with toddlers and grandparents?

Yes. The drive takes about 1h15, the cable car does the climbing, and there is snow at the top even in summer. Bring warm layers; strollers travel easily in the back.
