Yeah I would opt for a 9am shuttle rather than a 10am one, to avoid the
worst traffic, maybe even 8h30.

I wasn't planning on doing it, but it could be done. Financially it only
just breaks even with a shuttle if we fill the car completely, and even
then it's the hassle of having to deal with the car, parking, etc.
It does come in useful though if someone decides to throw away their
passport and needs to be driven to Geneva to get a new one ....
