KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Chamonix

  • When you hire a car in Chamonix, you won't have to worry about finding public transport or shuttles to get around the Alps. Depending on the size of your hire car, you could even take your winter sports gear to those world-famous slopes and off-piste ski routes. Chamonix car hire also means you could hop over the nearby borders into Switzerland or Italy for a multi-country adventure.
  • If you're flying to Chamonix, you'll probably land at Geneva Airport GVA (Cointrin Airport), about 1 hour by car to Chamonix. You can hire a car at Geneva airport, or you can hire a car in Chamonix by taking one of the many shuttle services from Geneva Airport. Hiring a car at the airport makes collecting and returning your hire car very convenient. You can exit Geneva airport on the French side or the Swiss side, and both have extensive car hire centres. You'll want to book with a company on the French side to avoid issues and extra costs associated with crossing the Schengen border. Car hire companies at Geneva Airport (French Sector) include Avis, Hertz, Budget, Europcar, Sixt and Enterprise. To collect your hire car at Geneva Airport, follow the "Destination France" signs to the French side, then follow the "Car Rental" signs to the car hire centre.
  • Chamonix is in the heart of the mountains, so you'll need to drive carefully on the windy, often icy roads. The town gets very busy during peak ski season, so there will be lots of traffic as people travel to and from the slopes. When you hire a car in Chamonix, you may want to cross the border into Switzerland. If you plan to cross the Schengen border, you need to let the car hire company know in advance so they can organise the appropriate paperwork and fees.
  • The weather is the biggest driving challenge when you hire a car in Chamonix. During the cold months, you need to take extra care in the snowy and icy conditions. Be careful not to brake or change gears suddenly and maintain a good following distance from the car in front. In addition, make sure you have the appropriate equipment in and on your hire car, such as winter tires, snow chains, high-vis, and a snow shovel.

  • What type of car do you recommend for driving around Chamonix?

    If you're driving in Chamonix in a group or have lots of hiking or winter sports gear, you might want to get an SUV or 4x4. However, it's better to hire a compact car if you don't feel confident driving a large vehicle, as the roads are quite windy and dangerous, so you'll want a vehicle you know you can handle. Also, if you're driving during ski season, choose a car with good safety features, like traction control, for those slippery icy roads.

  • What is the speed limit?

    In the town centre of Chamonix, the speed limit is 20-30 kph, while major single-lane roads outside towns are usually 90 kph. The maximum speed limit in France is 130 kph on motorways in good weather. However, the speed limit drops to 110 kph in some sections near Chamonix, so look for signs.

  • Where are the best places to park in the city?

    Police regularly check for illegal parking, and the fines can be pretty expensive, so always park in legal spots and read signs carefully. During ski season, it can be challenging to find parking in Chamonix, especially at the bottom of ski lifts. A great alternative is to park at your accommodation and catch one of the shuttle buses included in your ski pass. When you hire a car in Chamonix, it's a good idea to keep it safe from the elements in an undercover car park. Some covered car parks include Parking Saint-Michel, Parking Place du Mont Blanc, and Parking Entreves.
