Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Geneva
- Anticipate traffic congestion along the two main roadways in Geneva if you’re travelling during the height of morning (7am to 8am) and evening (7pm to 8pm) rush hours. The A1/A1a (E62) almost completely encircles the downtown area and is the main traffic artery in/out of the city from eastern, northern and western locations. Meanwhile, the A40/A41 runs laterally through the city’s southern sections into France. Road conditions can be hazardous due to accumulations of snow and ice, so be sure to reserve snow tyres for your vehicle when driving in Geneva during the winter months.
- People carriers like the Seat Alhambra seats five comfortably and has ample storage capacity, which is why we recommend this class of vehicle for families or groups. Economy class vehicles like Volkswagen Golf are ideal for parties of two or singles and more able to manage the city’s busy streets and parking spaces. You may also wish to consider an SUV, such as the Audi Q5 4X4, which offers dynamic traction for mountain roads and passes in elevated areas.
- While driving your Geneva people carrier hire around the city limits or beyond it’s important to know the legal speed limits. Within residential areas and business districts or near schools and hospitals the prescribed speed is 18 mph. Along roads in rural areas you can increase speed to about 31 mph and along major motorways/highways including the A1 and A40 cruising at 75 mph is the maximum speed allowed. Fixed and mobile speed cameras are in active use on city highways and major junctions, so always proceed with caution on the road.
- For visitors with accommodation outside the city centre, it may be advantageous to park and ride the bus, metro or rail into central Geneva. On-street parking in Geneva is available. You can leave your people carrier in Blue Zones for up to an hour provided you have a parking disc to display or in a White Zone for up to 90min at a tariff of about CHF3.00 per hour. There are several public car parks in Geneva including some underground and multi-storey garages, so you have your choice of options. Charges start at about CHF2 per hour, which is reduced by half after 7:00pm on evenings and weekends. Blue and White Zones are free after 7:00pm daily.
- 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Geneva for R1 600 or less
- Book your people carrier hire in Geneva at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- November is typically the cheapest month to hire a van in Geneva, with prices around R90 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of R150 per day.

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
