 Poster: A snowHead
|
Need a place to park a car at or around Geneva airport in between holidays. Thinking about leaving it in the multi story but this could be costly! Max it will be left is 13 days. Normally it will be left for 5-6 days.
Any ideas.
Thanks
TP

Nothing really to suggest - I've wondered the same thing. The area round the Swiss side of the airport is most unlikely to yield up any cheap car parks. The French side - Ferney Voltaire - is probably more promising. There are some tattier areas round there which might be hopeful; you'd probably have to explore it and ask around. You might find one of the hotels obliging if you spend some nights there.

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

Parking is quite restricted in Geneva and you often have to leave a parking disk on your car to show how long you are staying - this is the case for much of the parking around the airport.
Someone suggested the university then getting the bus to the airport. You can easily dump your car on the street at Ferney then take the bus, or even walk if you have 30-40 minutes.

How much do you expect to pay?
Last year we regularly left ours for a couple of weeks in one of the multi story car parks - car park 51. 85 f for the first week and 10f a day after that. Much cheaper than Gatwick!!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

That looks like the best idea. How busy is the car park? Can you normally park no problems. Paying £60 a week would be o.k. Can you get to it from the French side?

You'll need to Register first of course.

tp023, there's a car park on the French side. Getting from one side to the other can be a problem if it's late at night - can be done, but you have to wait for someone to come and unlock etc.

Just a note of warning to anyone parking in car park 51 at Geneva. We know of 2 ladies from the Morzine area who have been mugged and had their handbags stolen in the last month. It is a gang of 2/3 men who are responsible.

There is a carpark called P.49 - not listed anywhere on the gva.ch website but it is just beyond the freight terminal and is free. I don't know whether you would have problems long term parking here though, I will check it out. It would be about 20 minutes walk to the main terminal but there is a bus.

Sounds promising. Any info would be much appreciated!

Just to confirm, the car park is P.47. You reach it by following signs to Palexpo then Freight Terminal, beyond the freight terminal is P.49 (which you pay for) then P.47 which is the free Park and Ride carpark. No-one seems to use it, it is supposed to be for commuters from Ferney to leave their cars when they go into Geneva.
It is about 20 minutes walk back to the main airport building but there is a bus stop and bus service opposite right to the park and ride gate. I will try to find out more about buses.
I will check it out again in September to see if it is more used then.

davidof, thanks very much. Any idea of how security is at the car park? Isn't that the garage that Easycar used to use when they had their own operation at GVA?

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

davidof, Does anyone have any further information on how the recent changes at the airport may have affected p.47 and p.49 ?
