 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
For our trip to Val d'Isere in March 16 I'm flying on a Jet2 charter that arrives in to T2 at GVA. For various reasons I've decided to hire a car and got a good deal from Hertz. I'm familiar with the process at T1 i.e. Rental Desk in T1 then bus to P51 to collect the car. I've looked on the GVA website but can find no mention of car rental desks at T2. Does this mean I'd have to get from T2 to T1 and then back to P51? IIRC T2 is just behind P51 so is it possible to go directly from T2 to P51?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I don't know the answer for sure in terms of rental offices but I'd be surprised if there was anything in T2, there is not a lot there but its only a short walk back to the car rental desks.
In terms of luggage you can take it straight across if there is more than one of you. One to go to the rental desk and pick up keys. The car park is just across the road and down the lift.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@T Bar, there are 2 of us; me and my 8 year old.  One option could be to go from T2 to P51 and leave the bags with Hertz while going to the rental desks in T1.

Sounds sensible, as above it is only about 200m away and a bit of a leg stretch after the flight is no bad idea, there is a shuttle bus if the weather is foul but I never use it as the walk is welcome after the flight.

You'll need to Register first of course.

It's really not far to walk if you have a trolley - about 300m from T2 to T1 and then the same distance back to P51. GVA airport trolley's take chf2 or eur2 coins. Maybe a 10p piece would also work.
When you say you could leave your bags in P51, I park there quite regularly and I really can't remember ever seeing any kind of office there, though maybe I missed it.

Every company I have used has a wee return office in the carpark who check over the car when you return it and who you can report scratches and dents to on collection.

@snoozeboy, europcar definitely have an office. I've been in it. But that doesn't mean Hertz do.  I'm there in a couple of weeks (renting from europcar ) so I'll look to see what Hertz have.

Hertz have an office in P51 which is nearly always open and staffed. It's on the main road side, i.e. the furthest side from T2, the same side that the shuttle bus drops you on. Ground floor.

I stand corrected. If Hertz has an office at P51, then why are we talking about T1? 
P51 is across the road from T2. Problem solved.

@snoozeboy, The office is usually a small affair where they sort out returns and things but don't deal directly with the paperwork and keys.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I've had a reply from Hertz at GVA. No option to collect the keys at T2 or the Returns office but I can leave my bags there while I go to T1 to pick up the keys.

Top tip. 2 pence piece works on trolley at GVA. So cheap you don't mind leaving it.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Any coin you use is free of charge if you put the trolley in a collection point which is hardly difficult. Bit like putting litter in a bin instead of messing up the environment for everyone else.
