When to book a car hire in Geneva
Top tips for hiring a car in Geneva
- Travelers with flights landing at Geneva Airport will be happy to hear that the airport’s hire car facilities are not only quick and easy to reach but also serve both the Swiss and French sides of the border. Car hires for the Swiss side can be found on the Arrivals level near La Poste. To reach the hire desks for the French side, travelers must follow the “Destination France” signs and then go through customs. After that, the hire counters are by the Air France KLM desks.
- Right of way can be a bit confusing at times in Geneva, especially for those who are not used to driving in Europe. However, one aspect of right of way can be cleared up quickly and easily: yielding to buses. In Geneva you must yield to buses merging into traffic -- this is something that is taken very seriously here.
- Beware of using your phone while driving in Switzerland, as it is illegal to call, text, or use cell phones when driving unless it is hands-free. It is advised that drivers make sure to have their passengers follow the phone laws; otherwise, they risk getting fined.
- Geneva has some of the worst rush hour traffic in Switzerland. Drivers can expect the morning rush hour to start around 7:00 a.m. and finish around 9:00 a.m., with the Mont-Blanc Bridge bearing the brunt of the traffic. In the evening, rush hour starts at about 5:00 p.m. and lasts until 7:00 p.m.
