Jun 2019
Pros:
Easy to pick up and drop off, van ran great, was clean and in great shape!4.4 Mediocre
Dec 2018
Pros:
An upgradeCons:
The car was located in the French sector without a Swiss vinget. I was unaware. Extremely expensive insurance, a real ripoff deal. Feel screwed with a low rate and extras afterwards.7.2 Good
Aug 2018
Pros:
The Citroen Cactus that I rented was a good car it performed well on the roads and it was good on gas mileage. The staff at Sixt were helpful and courteous.Cons:
I hate the expensive zero liability insurance that they charge it doubled the price of the rental on top of what I paid to Kayak. This was way too expensive. I can understand a couple of hundred dollars for insurance but really 500-600 dollar more was insane. I know rental car insurance in Europe is expensive for travelers but this was way out of bounds. I will not be using Sixt again for this reason, I had a better experience with Europcar.9.6 Wonderful
Jul 2018
Pros:
We rented on the French side of GVA, which was a bit hard to find. There was a wait at the counter, but the staff member was very helpful to us. There were detailed instructions on avoiding the Swiss toll roads, and finding the rental return, which was much appreciated.Cons:
The car was parked in an awkward/dark spot in the garage, so we could not look at the car very completely when we started the rental.6.4 Okay
Jul 2018
Pros:
new car, clean, ease of bookingCons:
expensive rental price for a very average car, impractical size/shape - small boot aperture (Citroen Cactus). Access to car via shuttle is inconvenient10.0 Wonderful

Mar 2020
Pros:
the car was good, clean and relatively new.Cons:
the pricing policy is complete trash. i booked a car for approx. USD200 and ended up more than USD500, including all the fees, insurances, and surprise costs. 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!9.6 Wonderful
Feb 2020
Pros:
Staff Leila was very friendly, courteous and helpful.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.5.6 Fair
Feb 2020
Cons:
Didn't honor price. Upsold to double cost. No options given. Rent on swiss side. Never had problem there.3.2 Poor
Feb 2020
Pros:
The car was clean. Everything else was hopeless.Cons:
A very slow line to pick up the car. There was no way to book winter tires in advance, so the price doubled when we got there. Unpleasant staff. The insurance excess was €25000. You were forces to sign the contract, including the inspection verifying the car was ok before you got to see the car.9.2 Wonderful

Cons:
Geneva Airport pick up and drop off location is on the French, not Swiss, side of the airport, and was a nightmare to find. It was very stress-inducing to find it when dropping the car back, and being lost for awhile I almost missed my flight, having to run through the airport to make it!2.0 Poor

Firstly, they didn't accept my credit card saying that it has an electronic use and Icannot pay the car with it. They just offered me to pay with my friend's card including us another tax because he was not the driver. Finally they offered us another car in other company. They couldn't solve the proNational

Aug 2018
Pros:
The car was well prepared and had no faults of any kind, and the price was competitive.Cons:
It would be helpful to tell drivers to enter Building 51 in the far right lane to get to the drop off zone. There are signs, but a reminder from Europcar would be helpful.9.6 Wonderful
Jan 2018
Pros:
We had a nice upgrade and they gave us a brand new car. Help behind the desk was very friendly. Due to late arrival desk would have been closed but was still open.9.6 Wonderful
Aug 2017
Pros:
service & carCons:
to get in insurance the rental rate would have doubled. so I accepted a 25000 deductible. This is a bit unusual.9.2 Wonderful

Jul 2017
Pros:
We decided to rent a car at the last minute, there wee very few cars avaialable. Our car was nearly 600 Euro for 1 week, much more than we expected, but still nearly 100 Euro less than the next company and 200 Euro less than Hertz. The drop-off was strange, no one gave me any paperwork but hopefully that will be OK.Cons:
The people at the car return were not very professional, kept talking to one another and ignored me for some time. They didn't give me any paper that certified that I returned the car. In retrospect, I should have insisted that they give me a receipt.5.6 Fair
Mar 2017
Pros:
Quick serviceCons:
The pushing of the reception employee to upgrade to a higher car for almost 50% extra on my reserved class . When I rejected ... he told me the car I requested in not ready and will give you a bigger and higher class car for the same price . Later I found that he gave me lower class car which can not be compared at all with the one I paid for ..Alamo

Pros:
Staff was excellent and Gregory was super helpful with directions, etc. Customer service was the best.5.6 Fair
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:

Difficulty at pick-up. Required to provide a flight number although leaving in the region. There was no mention of this anywhere on kayak's or wisecars' website through which the car was booked.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff was super friendly, pleasant and accommodating. Our car was slightly too small, they went out of their way to find us another one that was big enough. Will definitely go back there next time!Thrifty

The car was delivered on April 1, and the amount of 876 Swiss francs has been booked and the amount has not been unbooked yet.6.8 Okay
Feb 2018
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.2.0 Poor
Jan 2018
Cons:
They gave us the wrong snow chains, which didn't fit the tires of the car. We had to call a very expensive cab to get us to the hotel from the foot of the mountain.4.0 Mediocre
Dec 2017
Pros:
Rental price was ok for Geneva, got a good car (Mercedes A class)Cons:
The online rental process is completely misleading and full if miscommunication (on purpose?): The pick up location was on the French side of the airport, but until the last step of the booking process Kayak and Carrentals stated "Swiss side" Usually no vignette for Swiss highways is included on the French side, so you pay CHF 40 extra The car did not come with winter tires, not sure thst is legal8.4 Very good

Crew for the car's revision at the pick-up/drop-off needed, so, if the car have any detail, you have to back all the way to the counter.5.6 Fair
Mar 2018
Pros:
It was cheap,Cons:
Got a smaller car than was depicted online, car had the worst cigarette smell that made we almost want to vomit. Got hit for a $150 cleaning fee and $60 fee for parking it in the wrong spot even though it was still an avis lot. Will not be renting from this company again.2.0 Poor
Mar 2018
Pros:
Only positive was that the car had navigation.Cons:
The process of picking up the car was a hassle. They tried to up sell me twice (on the type of car). They also gave me a car with summer tires in March in France/Switzerland, that was very very dangerous. The return process was poor as well.2.0 Poor
Mar 2018
Pros:
Nice staffCons:
They charged me almost double my reservation cost. Did not have the van I reserved. Moved me to the French side of the airport rather than the swiss which has all sorts of ramification if you want to drive on the Swiss highway system. TERRIBLE3.6 Poor

when I booked the car I thought i was getting a allweel drive suv but NO it was a SUV that was only FWD ARE YOU KIDDING ! in the Future how can I make sure that i have All Weel Drive when I book my rental Cars . Please help this was not the first time this has happend .Enterprise

Aug 2018
Cons:
The agent at the desk told us that the local law required us to take out local full collision insurance, in spite of the fact that I had already purchased such insurance online. She was not willing to let us have the car unless we purchased the insurance. This left us no choice and cost us an extra $250!!! Of course I am going to demand that KAYAK (who, if this requirement is correct, misled us) or Enterprise (who, if this requirement is false, lied to us) reimburse us fully for the $250.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Picked up the car on the French side of Geneva Airport had to wait 40 minutes why the staff took a break. When told them that we would be traveling to Annecy in France they told us to travel through Switzerland, we were not told about a 40 Swiss Franc road tax we would need to pay as the rental car did not have the road tax on it. When asked about this when dropping the car off the customer rep just shrugged us off and said its not there problemFLIZZR

Car rental locations at Geneva Geneve-Cointrin Airport
Top tips for renting a car at Geneva Geneve-Cointrin Airport
- 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.
- 25% of our users found rental cars at Geneva Geneve-Cointrin Airport for $75 or less
- Book your rental car at Geneva Geneve-Cointrin Airport at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
