SIXT Car Rental at Geneva Airport

Switzerland boasts scenery of outstanding natural beauty and has many historic towns and villages to entice visitors for a holiday. Renting a car at Geneva Airport provides greater freedom and ease of travel, be it for leisure or business travel.

Geneva Airport is divided into two separate sectors serving both Switzerland and France. The car rental counters for the Swiss Sector are located on the Arrivals level. Sixt customers with a reservation should follow signposting towards La Poste, where the Sixt car hire counter can be found. The rental returns for Sixt vehicles are handled at car park P51 on the lower level.

At the French Sector passengers coming from countries other than France will typically be arriving in the international section of the airport. Anyone with a car reservation in the French sector should first collect their luggage in the baggage hall and then head to the check-in level, following the "destination France" signposting.

Crossing the customs area to the right of the check-in hall (right next to the Air France and KLM ticket desks), customers should traverse the customs area and go to their relevant car hire desks. It may be necessary to show the car hire contract as proof. On the day of departure customers with a rental car must return this to the French sector, if that's where the rental contract originated from.

La Route de Ignoble will mean precious little to beer drinkers, but to wine connoisseurs the route conjures up pictures of a beautiful wine growing area surrounding Geneva and more than 40 vineyards in and out of Geneva, where wine tastings are being offered after an appointment has been made. Such a route is best traveled on foot or by bike, since drinking and driving a rental car simply doesn't mix.

Horseback riding on the other hand allows motorists to leave behind their car for an afternoon to ride in one of the many stables in and outside of Geneva, where Europe's largest equestrian event, the World Cup, is held alongside important events such as the Geneva International Horse Show and Jumping Competition. The stables organise regular excursions into the wonderful countryside surrounding the city.

Although Geneva is not a large city, in terms of shopping it can hold its own with Paris and London. An afternoon’s shopping trip by rental car ensures that all those wonderful watches, designer fashions, perfumes and tons of delicious chocolate don't interfere with the occasional sightseeing on route.
