Car Hire Geneva Airport

Budget car hire services from Geneva Airport are the ideal way to see the city and Switzerland more widely. The airport site is located 3 miles (5 km) from the city centre and is connected by expressways making the journey from the airport to the city ultimately easy in your hire car. Geneva airport almost straddles the French, Swiss border; so much so that the site has separate French and Swiss sectors with separate passport control and customs areas. Using our car hire services in Switzerland requires special attention to the local driving regulations; for example it should certainly be noted that the drink driving limit is lower than in the UK, (0.5 mg/ml instead if 0.8 mg/ml) and as with much of Europe the Swiss drive on the right hand side of the road. In terms of speed limits on motorways 120 kph (75 mph) is enforced, on open roads the limit is 80 kph (50 mph) and in urban areas 50 kph (31 mph) is the standard limit. These limits are strictly enforced with radar traps a common site in and around Geneva. As always heeding the local signage is recommended.

Geneva

The famous Jet d'eau is probably the most recognisable landmark within Geneva and dominates the city's skyline. Throwing water one hundred and forty metres into the air, the fountain pumps an impressive five hundred litres of water every second. Geneva is well connected to other parts of Switzerland as well as France making it the ideal starting point to explore the Alps with a rental car. The cities of Montreux and Chamonix are a short drive from Geneva and give tourists that chance to immerse themselves in the Swiss culture. For those taking an extended trip around Switzerland and beyond it can be beneficial to use Budget's GPS rental services, ensuring that destinations are reached on time with the minimum of fuss. As with much of the alpine region skiing is extremely popular in the mountains surrounding Geneva so for those choosing to hit the pistes, the larger hire cars in the Budget range should be considered to accommodate all of that equipment. Geneva is a popular destination for both tourists and business travellers; fortunately Budget's car hire services are a cheap, affordable and convenient way to get around this magnificent city and beyond.
