Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Geneva
- Geneva is one of Europes’s most magical cities and is best seen with independence and plenty of leisure time. A Geneva SUV hire allows you to enjoy magnificent road trips and will supply power and all the comforts to ensure a smooth drive. The effective, modern roads with English translations make a Lake Geneva round trip for around 2h a breeze. The road from Geneva to Montreux along the Swiss side of Lake Geneva is also a must-see with an SUV. The mountains of Évian-les-Bains, known for famous water, appear on the French side and you will be travelling at the edge of the Alps around 1200 feet above sea level. Expect breath-taking views!
- When you arrive at Geneva-Cointrin Airport, you will find a unique airport with 2 borders, namely French and Swiss. The car hire companies are based in different areas. The Swiss car hire can be found on the Arrivals level. For the French side, follow the sign for ‘Destination France’ through Customs. But, a Geneva SUV hire is easily serviced by Europcar, Unirent, Alamo, Thrifty, Enterprise, SIXT, Hertz and others on the Swiss side.
- Driving in Geneva is wonderful when it comes to road maintenance. You will drive on the right side of the road and speeding or mobile phone use will not be tolerated. You will need to have a motorway vignette on your car so ensure your car hire company provides this. Alcohol blood level limits are lower than most of Europe at 0.025%. Swiss drivers always stop for pedestrians so be aware that people will expect the same from you as a driver. If you decide to venture up the mountains, ensure you have enough fuel as you may pass many villages without petrol stations.
- A Geneva SUV hire will test your patience if you are planning on staying in the CBD. Congestion is famously bad between 8:00 and 9:00 and again at 17:00 to 18:00. The city favours a pedestrian and bicycle-first culture, which makes inner city roads often closed, many one-way roads and no turning lanes. When you drive mountain roads with your SUV, you will find some of them so steep that you will need to remain in gears 1 to 3. Watch the road at all times and listen to weather reports for road closures during colder months. The mountains take a skilled SUV driver, so ensure you are used to the handling of a good 4X4 before tackling the more treacherous trails of Geneva.
- 25% of our users found an SUV hire in Geneva for R1 230 or less
- Book your SUV hire in Geneva at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs About Hiring an SUV in Geneva

You will find bilingual, helpful staff at several global names.

Dec 2019
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 indicate10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Car was greatCons:
The person who gave me the car was extremely rude! I bought insurance for the car online when I booked, yet she repeatedly told me that I was unprotected and made me feel like I did not have adequate protection when I did. I also would have appreciated knowing a few things about the car that no one told me about.5,6 Fair
Jan 2018
Pros:
No problems with car.Cons:
No windshield washer fluid, was a real problem driving in bad weather on the highway. I guess that's something I assumed would be there. Unfortunately, this is not the first time. Service not nearly as helpful as usual. In the past we have made an effort to rent from Hertz because of the extra effort they have made at this location. This time they made out the whole contract and we were about to sign when we noticed it was 300 € over our reservation price. Had to re-do. Price was already about 50% higher than what we usually pay at this location (Geneva airport, French sector) Also, we seemed to remember always getting snow tires in the winter as part of the standard package. Apparently not.Sixt

J'ai réservé le véhicule à mon nom. Un ami a pu récupérer le véhicule avant que j'arrive, sans mon permis de conduire, en mettant le sien et sa carte de crédit... Qui serait alors responsable ? Le réservataire, le propriétaire du permis ou celui de la carte ? Aucun effort pour expliquer le système de rachat de franchise, ils préfèrent qu'on rapidement et donc sans. Dans l'ensemble le personnel est assez désagréable... Le tarif annoncé sur le site est sans tax, sans licence...Thrifty

Pros:
The price of the rental carCons:
The AGNET charged me two security deposites. One valued at 1600 euros which was not even registered in the rental contract. It was really fishy. Also, the agnet tried to rip me off by charging me additional 350 euros for changing the drop off location within the same city. i refused and eventually changed the drop off location at no additional charge.National
