Gstaad Limousine Service

The limousine arm of a Gstaad taxi firm

Gstaad Limousine Service is the premium transport arm of Taxi Simon, a transport company in Gstaad that Simon von Grünigen founded in 1971 as a one-man business. The site says it grew with the popularity of the Saanenland in the eighties and nineties; in 2006 Zoran Mitic took over the operational lead and soon after the whole company, and with his sons Mario and Marko restructured it into a fully integrated transport business. The limousine division was established in 2016 to serve the more sophisticated transportation needs of the region's international clientele: luxury hotels, private jet companies, international fashion and jewelry brands, and ultra-high-net-worth families. It lists royal families and VIPs among its private clients. For weddings in and around Gstaad, its event shuttle service is written with weddings in mind.

The company is based at Bahnhofgässli 24, 3792 Saanen, and the homepage letter is signed by Zoran and Mario Mitic. A testimonial from Andrea, who has been a concierge at the Gstaad Palace for more than 40 years and has worked with Taxi Simon and its limousine service for the last 10, says the team "delivered prime class limousine service for our customers."

The Fleet and Fleet Management

Gstaad Limousine Service owns 15 luxury Mercedes-Benz vehicles and employs over 20 part- and full-time drivers. The core lineup consists of Mercedes-Benz S-Class and E-Class sedans for smaller groups, and Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Viano minivans for larger parties. For groups requiring more space, the company also collaborates with partner firms, which means that for very large weddings, they can access "an infinite number of additional V-classes or Vianos."

The event shuttle section says the company has "more than 5 spacious Mercedes-Benz minivans (V-class and Viano)", and that these minivans suit every "Gstaad-like" chalet party and dinner "or glamorous wedding in and around our wonderland Gstaad". It adds: "With our experienced crew, we so far managed celebrations of more than 200 guests." Several minivans running at once is what makes guest shuttles for a large wedding work.

The limousine service is described with "the newest Mercedes-Benz sedans like the S-Class and Mercedes-Benz V-class minivans". The site has a separate fleet page for details.

The Services on Offer

The company articulates three core services: limousine service (for special gala dinners, business road shows, shopping trips), airport transfers (bespoke departure and arrival service to any Swiss or international airport or railway station), and event shuttles. The event shuttle service is the one most relevant to weddings. The site describes it as "multi-functional" and notes they also offer valet parking service, rent-a-driver service, and car delivery service.

For weddings, the service works as follows: the company coordinates parking for your guests, picks them up from their cars (or hotels, or the train station), transports them to your venue entrance, and returns them to their departure point at the end of the evening. For a chalet or hotel wedding, that takes parking and arrivals off the couple's hands.

The company explicitly frames its service this way: "We coordinate the parking for your guests, pick them up right in front of their car, bring them to your entrance and return them at the end of the festivity to the place they desire."

Reaching the Company and Understanding the Service

Bookings are handled by phone (+41 79 544 80 80), email (info@gstaadlimousine.com), or through a contact form on the website. The site describes its services as "tailor-made", so the vehicles, pickup times, number of shuttles and parking arrangements are agreed for each event.

The company states that its drivers "are professional, friendly, impeccably dressed and always punctual," and speaks of "fully trained, multilingual chauffeurs." The languages are not listed, but the whole site is written in English, so contact in English is clearly expected.

The service area is comprehensive: based in Gstaad, they offer services "across the whole of Switzerland and Europe." The footer lists Geneva, Zurich, Bern/Belp, Basel and Sion airports, the railway stations of Lausanne, Vallorbe, Montreux and Geneva, and destinations from Rougemont, Interlaken, St. Moritz and Davos to Monaco, St. Tropez, Courchevel, Tigne and Milano. The airport service includes door-to-check-in assistance and a ground service for private flights by helicopter and plane. For guests with a free day, the company also runs sightseeing tours with a chauffeur-guide, to places such as the Château de Gruyères, the Cailler chocolate factory in Broc, Montreux, Interlaken, the Jungfraujoch and Lucerne.

Who This Works For

This service is built for a couple hosting a substantial wedding in or around Gstaad. If your guests are staying in multiple hotels or chalets across the region, and you need professional, coordinated transport, the company has the infrastructure to handle celebrations of over 200 guests. The company has run transport in the Saanenland since 1971, which is as local as it gets.

It works especially well if your venue is hotel-based or if you are working with a chateau or estate that relies on professional shuttle services for events. The Gstaad Palace concierge's testimonial is a useful reference here.

For a very small wedding, a single limousine for the couple may be all that is needed, and the company offers that too. Its stated clients are hotels, international fashion and jewelry brands, private jet companies and family offices, so it is positioned at the upper end of the market.

What the Site Does Not Settle

The site publishes no rates or pricing for wedding event shuttles. You cannot determine whether they charge by the hour, by the vehicle, by the number of guests, or by a custom quote. There is no stated minimum booking or deposit. The site does not specify how far in advance you should book.

Also absent: specific languages beyond the general claim that drivers are "multilingual." If English is critical to your coordination, or if you need another language (Italian, French), that is something to confirm.

The site does not detail what's included in their event shuttle service: do they help plan the shuttle schedule, are pickups from hotels coordinated with the hotel concierge, what happens if a guest arrives late, how is the departure timing managed. These are all practical questions that a conversation with the company will clarify.
