Travelling to the ever-peaceful Switzerland always has a special appeal. With its central location, it's uniquely situated as a base to explore central Europe. The great road network of autobahns makes car hire at Geneva Geneve-Coitrin Airport (GVA) the best way to explore to your heart's desire, whether you prefer a metropolitan experience or a road trip in the countryside. Known for great quality of life, the Swiss experience translates to car hire as well. Every company boasts new models with a big variety to choose from, so you don't have to compromise on anything.
Car hire at Geneva Geneve-Coitrin Airport is unique, because it is divided into two sections, each serving a different country. On the Swiss side, all the rental companies provide Swiss-registered cars, so, if you plan to spend the majority of your time inside Switzerland, this is your port of call. However, if your aim is to explore Switzerland and the surrounding European Union countries, it is better to rent from the French side of the airport, as EU cars don't incur extra taxes or duties like Swiss-registered cars might. While Switzerland is part of the European Economic Area (EEA), they are not part of the EU, and specific terms and conditions may apply to Swiss cars. Be sure to clarify this when you make your booking on KAYAK.
For the environmentally-conscious traveller, the car rental agencies do have zero-emission cars available. However, these models are very popular and slightly more expensive, so make sure you book your car well in advance. Switzerland is very environmentally oriented, so you won't have a problem finding a charging station.
Geneva Geneve Coitrin airport car hire has the added advantage of being the perfect location to collect a luxury car, with many models available. Spoil yourself with an affordable upgrade to a "premium" listed car. However, these cars require partial or sometimes even full prepayment. They also typically have a longer free cancellation period (between 24h and 72h) before your scheduled arrival. All the premium cars have unlimited mileage, so you can take the scenic route to your skiing holiday in the Swiss or French Alps.

Can I make a last-minute change between the Swiss and French sides of car hire at Geneva Geneve-Coitrin Airport?
You are only allowed to move between the Swiss and French sides of the airport if you have a connecting flight or a car rental booking confirmation. You will have to show valid identification and follow the signs.
What is the difference between Terminal M and Terminal 1?
"M" stands for Main Terminal, and it is the same as Terminal 1, as the airport only has one. So, don't worry, you won't get lost. The car rental companies are all located on their respective sides of the terminal on the arrivals level.
What are the operating hours of the car rental companies?
While the airport is closed from 00:00 to 04:00, the French car hire companies typically operate from 08:00 to 21:00 whereas the Swiss side has slightly extended hours. Make sure you check the operating times when you make a reservation, and enquire about possible charges for an out-of- hours service.
What else should I remember when I make my reservation?
Consider all the extras you may need, in case you plan on travelling with babies, children or people with reduced mobility. Book all the extras like a GPS, baby seats, booster seats or extra spacious cars when you make your reservation through KAYAK. If you have any requests not listed, or any questions, make a note of it on your booking form, and a friendly rental agency agent will be in touch to help you.

It was a nightmare. The rental car ( Renault Arkana) did not function properly. I had to call 3 times for road assistance. Battery kept dying. They left me stranded one day . I waited 4 hours and no one came to help. I had to hire a private party to come and start the car so I could go back to my home. I will never rent a car form Alamo or Enterprise. Claudie Secco

Cons:

There apparently is a French and Swiss side to the airport with car rentals at both places. The French side is smaller with less car but maybe a better deal. I rented a small suv because I was going skiing. They did not have that car but they “upgraded” me two classes to a luxury wagon without AWd. It worked for this trip but was not what I wanted. Also, the road signs and gps are not clear how to get back to the French side. We almost missed our plane. Found it by accident and not following what the signs would indicate

I didn't know that the rental car would be on the French side of the Geneva airport. This was a major problem as I could not access it from the Swiss part of the airport without a boarding pass. I had to take a taxi to go all the way around the airport. It cost nearly 40 euros. A major, major disappointment. The lady at the check-in was wonderful. I think her name was Imen.

I normally dread going to the sales desk at a rental car company because normally they try and sell you everything. On this occasion, europcar had all the info they needed, didn't try and sell me anything, had the right size car available and only required a signature and a swipe of my credit card. And the when I dropped it off the handover was seamless, the staff were friendly and didn't try to find an issue with the car so that they could charge me more money. It really was the best experience I have ever had hiring a car (apart from the overall price, but I understand that is down the market, not Kayak or Europcar).

Jul 2022

Pros: - really nice car (Skoda Fabia), fully equipped and very clean - guys at pick up/drop off place very nice and friendly Cons: - very low value for money especially for extra insurances like flat tyres; no option to eliminate the excess, only to lower the amount and for a high price (30CHF per day to reduce it from 2000 to 750) - a strange policy of looking for visible faults of the car before driving it off; there were other people like me in the parking lot looking for any scratches or punctures and trying to take pictures of any findings; this was utterly hilarious and ridiculous in the same time as we have been transformed from tourists to some sort of insurance agents! - when questioning the guy at the front desk about the excess he bluntly said that he doesn't know the conditions offered as we didn't booked with them but with a broker; a stupid thing to say as I imagine Europcar signed a contract with the broker and they offer the conditions agreed upon with Europcar. Bottom line, this was my first experience with Europcar and I will do my best to avoid this company due to policies they have in place.

No one told us that Diesel fuel in French called "Gazole" that cost us many time and money from our vacation to seaching for a proper gas station. It is unnecessary to mention that no one again said anything about "adBlue". I leard about this is tricky thing from a friend and I manage to add 4 liters at the last mile before the car leave us for ever on the highway, PURE LUCK. Proper Thief Company for car Rental

Futhermore, I have been billed above the contractual fee, although I have returned the car undamaged, with very limited used kilometers (it was unlimited anyway), and a full tank. I'm going for file a formal complaint to recover these additional costs!

Cons:

Helpful that the "Boss" of the rental agency did not park her personal car in front of my rental spot, forcing me to call and wait and wait and wait until she had the time to come and move her car allowing me to go on my trip 15 minutes later. There is no excuse for that, as well as for her nonchalant attitude.

Firts the background:- I usually rent cars regularly through Sixt (for a good 20 years) and experience is always excellent, this happens most of the times directly but also through 3rd party companies. This time I needed the car, only to go on a short trip and therefore I went on your website (kayak) to get a car that does that purpose and the rate shown by Avis was about a 100 U$ and most other companies charged the double if not more?! Accordingly I went to Avis and the team member that rented me the car was very convincing in her explanations..........and I signed the document (contract), for a vehicule costing nearing 300 Euros!?! I have not argued and I am now waiting for the final invoice on my credit card..........however the bottom line is that there are many AdHoc Fees/insurances etc....and that I will not use AVIS again or KAYAK.......as the technique used in that advertising is non transparent it included what we call in the business language...........Hidden Fees and in french Publicite mensengere....meaning false publicity. At the end of the day, I ended paynig an amount totally different from what was originally publicised ( and this was not upselling, it was non transparency to say the least). Happy to elaborate further if your esteemed company is interested! +20.100.24.00009 Karim EL Ghazzawi NB: will make it a point telling the story to may fellow colleagues that are mostly Senior vice presidents in the conpanies I work for and work with, to avoid such traps.

The original car you booked me, was on the French side of the airport. The French Avis counter closes at 10. I specified I was coming in after that. The system shouldn’t allow me to rent a car if it’s not going to be available. We had to then go to the Swiss side and pray that they had a vehicle for us. I ended up paying three times as much as I was originally quoted online. I never would’ve booked that. Had I known I was going to get screwed over. The vehicle itself once we got one was fine. The woman at the counter on the Swiss side was wonderful to deal with. But Avis should be ashamed of themselves for quoting prices that their counter people won’t honor.
