KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Megève
- Car hire in Megeve offers convenience, freedom and endless possibilities for discovery at your own pace. For instance, you could take a drive to the iconic Mont Blanc. With its impressive history, Mont Blanc provides an exceptional alpine experience and boasts stunning vistas. Opting for car hire in Megeve will significantly improve your access to the more secluded areas, such as the Aiguille du Midi. This striking mountain peak, situated in the Mont Blanc massif within the French Alps, presents an awe-inspiring view and a rich variety of alpine flora and fauna. Megeve car hire also grants you easy access to the charming nearby towns of Chamonix and Annecy, each with its unique offerings and Alpine charm.
- After landing at Geneva Airport (GVA), collect your luggage and head to the Car Hire Centre. If you're arriving from the Swiss sector, you'll need to cross the transit area to get to the French sector. To get there, once you’re in the Arrivals hall having cleared customs, head up one floor to the check-in level. Then, follow the signage marked "Destination France". You'll find the car hire desks to the right of the terminal, close to the Air France ticket counters. To hire a car, you’ll need your driving licence, passport and credit/debit card for the security deposit. If you're visiting from outside the European Union, you might also need an International Driving Permit (IDP), so make sure to check this in advance.
