Car Hire in Eaux-Vives, Geneva, Switzerland

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Geneva, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Some rental agencies might offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be aware of the conditions, such as how much fuel to return with to avoid extra charges.
