7.2 Good23 Aug 2018
Good car but insurance and fees are ridiculous.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.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.

Overall very good experienceWe 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.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.

new car, clean, ease of bookingexpensive rental price for a very average car, impractical size/shape - small boot aperture (Citroen Cactus). Access to car via shuttle is inconvenient
3.6 Mediocre6 Jun 2018
The car was clean.First, I they did not have my car at the airport. I had to travel to the city of Geneva to find the Sixt office. Directions were never given. Besides this, unbeknownst to me, Sixt has a policy where you must provide a credit card for the deposit. I had a debit card with plenty of cash but that would not suffice. The problem is, they did not tell me beforehand. So, I nearly lost my deposit at their negligence.

Car was greatThe 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.

Deteriorating customer serviceNo problems with car.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.

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.

Very misleading rental process with Kayak and Hertz in GenevaRental price was ok for Geneva, got a good car (Mercedes A class)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 legal

It was a bad experience with HertizIt was cleanThey took extra money more than we agreed on the site with the insurance despite of your offer price which made me cancel another reservation because I thought you were better price and offers .I had an accident I lost the key and they didn't give me a nother car or a Spair key for the car and they sent someone to pick up the car and left us in the rain with my children in the highway waiting for the Taxi for 2 hours. .It will be the last time I rent a car from Hertiz or with your site if you didn't solve the problem.

Good car, lowest price at last minuteWe 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.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.

1.9 Horrible12 Sep 2021
Warning - this company is fraudulent. During my rental, I hit a small animal which caused small damage to a plastic part on the car. This required replacing the plastic component, something that was billed at 700 CHF. This is fine, and fully my responsibility. However, on top of this, they took the opportunity to also repair a ton of scratches at various places on the car, that had been caused prior to my rental. Even though Alamo acknowledges that the scratches were present beforehand, they still charged me for the paint job of 900 CHF. I have contacted them on multiple occasions to get this reimbursed, and their "damage team" will get back to me "in one week". It is now almost two months. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company, hopefully Alamo will now take their responsibility and behave like decent human beings in a civilized country.

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 indicate

I cancelled the reservation with enterprise.Nothing, I'm not using kayak or enterprise ever again.Enterprise wanted to put a 5000 dollar hold on my credit card because I didn't get insurance through them. I purchased the insurance offered when I booked the reservation with kayak but apparently that wasn't good enough and kayak never told me anything. At least Avis helped me rent a vehicle for my trip. I will never use kayak or enterprise they are misleading and not worth the trouble of dealing with them. I will also be warning all my friends to avoid these two terrible companies.

Strange customer service repThe price of the rental carThe 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.

Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire excess insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your rental. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Geneva car rental.
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.

Compacts, coupes, and sedans are certainly the best hire options for potential drivers in Geneva. The city has many streets and lanes that predate the automobile and, as a result, are simply ill-suited for their use. This isn’t too big of a problem for smaller vehicles, but with a larger car or SUV, these roads can become a hassle to maneuver through. Parking in the older parts of the city can especially be a problem for larger cars.
Switzerland has four broad categories for delineating speed limits throughout the country: in-city, out-of-city, expressways, and motorways. For in-city traffic, the speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph), while out-of-city traffic is 80 km/h (50 mph). On expressways the standard speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) and on motorways it is 120 km/h (75 mph).
Drivers will find that the average price of petrol in Geneva is around 1.65 CHF ($1.65) per liter, which is about $6.25 per gallon. This is fairly standard for Europe and is just slightly cheaper than Catania’s average price of €1.60 ($1.83) per liter.
Parking garages, which are almost always underground, are the easiest parking option for drivers in Geneva. Streetside parking is widely available but is broken into four colored zones: white, blue, yellow, and red. Each zone has a separate set of parking limitations and fees, which will be listed on nearby signage and require the purchase of parking decals (found at petrol stations, police stations, and tourism offices).
