Car Hire from Geneva Airport - check out on the Swiss or French side of the airport
Geneva Airport car hire is mainly delivered from the Swiss side of the airport - which has the advantage of fast access to the motorway - in turn giving access to Geneva city centre, Lake Geneva and both the French and Swiss Alps.
Although cheaper car hire is normally available from car hire companies on the French side of Geneva airport cars from the Swiss side have the added convenience of a vignette (allowing access to Swiss motorways),and over the winter are winterised - which means winter tyres between November and April and normally a set of snow chains (check this as you book your car rental company as some companies package the cost of these in whilst others charge extra).

Brits Prefer Car Hire over Public Transport When Holidaying Abroad
Brits who travel abroad would rent a car rather than use public transport to get around when on holiday, according to new research. As many as 58 percent of Brits questioned cited numerous reasons why they would choose car rental over trains, trams and tubes when holidaying, including safety, language issues and comfort.
• 58 percent of Brits would hire a car than use public transport when abroad
• 21 percent find foreign public transport systems too confusing to use
• 22 percent use a hire car on holiday due to the language barrier
• The adventurous over 55’s site less concerns than the youngsters when getting around aboard via public transport
Confusing transport systems along with not being able to speak the mother tongue topped the list of reasons for shying away from public transport and renting a car instead. Being unable to find their way around public transport systems followed.
Interestingly, youngsters seem to be far less confident about using public transport than the more adventurous older generations. Only 12 percent of over 55-year-olds cited concerns over the safety of public transport compared to almost 22 percent of those between 18 and 24. As many as 27 percent of younger travellers were worried about getting lost, but the well-travelled and fearless over 55s are not so anxious, with only 16 percent having concerns over losing their way.
Even when it comes to comfort the more mature adults would happily take a bumpy ride, with only 14 percent saying this was an issue with public transport compared to more youthful holiday makers.

Zero Excess (optional)
Your car rental agreement usually includes cover for Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft. However, you are still liable for the excess on both the CDW and Theft.
What this basically means is if the car is damaged or stolen, the driver of the car (you) is asked to pay a portion of the repair or replacement costs. This is what is known as Car Hire Excess.
At STEP3 of our 3-step online booking process you may wish to avoid ALL Excess Charges for just € 5.65 a day!
Most car rental companies charge an Excess. If you have a claim - typically you pay the first € 500 or so. Also, most policies issued by car rental companies don't cover windows, tyres, undercarriage, roof or loss of keys.
Excess Insurance gives you complete peace of mind for just € 5.65 per day. The policy will cover up to € 2390.52 of any excess; it can be used on any vehicle type and if we can't confirm your particular vehicle you can use it with any rental company so you won't lose out.
Please note: Excess Insurance is billed separately on your credit card statement...
