 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Folks,
All of the car hire firms at Geneva airport have truly awful reviews. I use Alpy transfers when I ski in Chamonix but this time I need a car to travel to Annecy, France.
Anyone got any suggestions for hire cars at Geneva airport?...or..as a last resort a fairly priced taxi company. Cheers

People only even post reviews when things go wrong, so it's no surprise that the review sites are full of dreadful reviews.
I've personally used Europcar, Avis and Hertz this winter from GVA (Swiss side), and all were fine.

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

@Clarkey, All? But it’s usually the people who have had bad experiences who then complain. All of the mainstream ones ones I’ve used over the years have been ok, not wonderful but not disastrous. Just pick one (on-site & Swiss side to get winter tyres and/or go on price), carefully check the t&cs, take pix/vids of the vehicle and off you go.

I've had no trouble hiring cars on both the Swiss and French side of Geneva airport, over a number of years. When are you going? Snow tyres are unlikely to be relevant between Gva airport and Annecy but it's only a hop on a bus - google it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Guys,
I've been hiring cars from airports across Europe for 30 years+. It has never been the case were literally every single one of the hire car providers gets 1* on trip advisor. Consistent testimonies of charging for fictional damage (ranging from £500 to £3k) regardless of pre use photos taken and additional insurance in place..why hasn't a single person said anything positive, if indeed they had a positive car experience? I appreciate your feedback etc. but need to have a good think about it! Ta folks

@Clarkey, like others here I've been hiring cars from both the Swiss and French side of Geneva airport and never, ever, had any problem. But then I cannot be arsed to put reviews on Trip Advisor that say "everything went as expected"
Winter tyres are not required from April 1st and probably will not be supplied and I doubt whether chains will be required either.

@Clarkey, Altibus goes via Annecy - maybe they can drop off/pickup on the way?

Never had any problems hiring from Geneva airport, usually use Sixt, Avis or Enterprise.

Because 99% of people (me included) who are satisfied with a car hire experience won't feel the need to go online and report that.
