Frequently Asked Questions
Our aim is to make hiring a car in Geneva simple and stress-free. We do more than compare prices — we deal with all the major car hire companies directly, so we can bring you exclusive deals on a wide range of cars (including family-sized estates, people carriers and convertibles). Some of the companies we deal with in Geneva include Budget, Avis, Sixt and Europcar.
Just tell us when you need a car using the search form, and we will show you which cars are available at pick-up locations across Geneva — with all the information about what’s included in the rental provided upfront. You can then use the handy filters to quickly find your perfect hire car; you can filter the results by supplier, rating, pick-up location, fuel policy, size and vehicle specifications (such as cars with air conditioning or automatic transmission).
We are impartial, so we show reviews and ratings left by previous customers next to each car; meaning you get honest advice that will assist your decision when choosing who to rent with. We ask each customer to rate the supplier in seven key areas (such as the cleanliness and condition of the vehicle and the efficiency of the counter staff), and we’re pleased to say most of the companies we deal with in Geneva have been rated as ‘superb’ ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’.
Montreux: Situated on the eastern side of Lake Geneva, the picturesque town of Montreux is just over an hour’s drive from Geneva city centre. Take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside promenade and soak up the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds you. The town benefits from a mild micro-climate, so expect to see palm trees lining the walkways. If you’re a fan of jazz music, be sure to visit Montreux in July, when the annual Jazz Festival is held in the town. A visit to the Château de Chillon is also a must — the well-preserved island castle on the outskirts of the town is more than 1000 years old.
Annecy: Why not spend the day in a different country and take a drive to the French town of Annecy? Just 40km from Geneva, Annecy has a truly romantic feel to it — with cobbled streets, colourful houses and beautiful canals which meander through the centre of the town. A medieval château (where you will find a museum showcasing regional artefacts) overlooks Annecy.
Lausanne: An hour’s drive from Geneva, the city of Lausanne is brimming with history and culture. The ‘old town’ is a maze of medieval streets, and it’s here where you will find an ornate Gothic cathedral and the Palais de Rumine — a 19th-century Renaissance building housing several museums (including ones dedicated to fine arts, archaeology, money and zoology). The city is also home to the International Olympic Committee Headquarters and the Olympic Museum.
- Parking in Geneva shouldn’t be a problem, as there are many car parks dotted around the city.
- To reduce pollution, many Swiss drivers like to switch off their engines when waiting in traffic. Bear this in mind while waiting for the driver in front of you to set off.
- If you’re travelling to Geneva in the winter, the car hire company may charge a ‘winterisation fee’ which covers the cost of equipping the car for snowy and icy conditions. If this charge applies, we will let you know before you commit to a booking.
