For this post I’m going to talk about hiring a car on the French side of Geneva Airport. Car Hire generally works out cheaper on this side of the airport. There are five companies who operate car hire desks on the French side.

If you intend traveling into Switzerland with your Geneva car hire then you must buy a vignette which is available for around twenty five euro from petrol stations. This is required for Swiss Motorways. This is of course an added expense so it is worth comparing quotes with the Swiss side of the airport.

Also try and return your car to the same side as you picked it up so as to avoid any extra charges.

It can be a strange experience for some people to arrive in an airport and still have to wonder what country they are in. Do your research in advance and compare car hire Geneva quotes today.
