 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone hired a car at Grenoble airport? How many rental companies are based there? Are there any restrictions (eg closed on Sundays like at Chambery)?

rob@rar.org.uk, I believe there are car hire operators there but the airport is only open from 13.00 hrs to 16.00 hrs daily, so it sounds asif there are only a few flights.

Rob, look @ www.car-hire-booking.co.uk (sorry can`t do hyperlinks). They cover for National, Europcar, Alamo & various others at Grenoble.
Not sure what the opening hours are - call them on 0870 9000 533 - they can probably answer your specific queries.
We booked through Easyjet a month ago. They used Europcar who seemed fine. Nice quiet airport. Picked up the car in 5 mins. It was parked 100 m from the terminal.

rob@rar.org.uk, the website lists four local car hire operators with their telephone numbers.

rob@rar.org.uk, Yes we always use Grenoble if flying from Stansted, and I think BA are going to start flying there from Gatwick this winter. There are about four or five rental firms, and their desks are all in the terminal building, about 60 feet from the baggage reclaim! Like beetle says, the cars are parked right outside the terminal.
If there's a flight, the desks are open. The airport spends most of the day asleep but suddenly starts bustling when the Easyjet's coming in. It's a real pleasure to fly to/from Grenoble - beats Lyon hands down. Try www.carbookers.co.uk or www.ebookers.co.uk and look for the link if that doesn't work. They'll do you a cheaper price than the hire firms direct, I've found. Like beetle, we used europcar. It was simple and quick. Generally, if you book over the net and it accepts your request, the desk will be open for you.

paulmck, Thanks for that feedback. I might try Grenoble this season.

I hope so, although I think at least one snowHead has had a different experience at Chambery (booked via a broker rather than direct with the rental company.
