Ferney-Voltaire car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Ferney-Voltaire 
Verified travelerOct 2024
You absolutely need to take a cab to go to the French sector of the airport if you don’t hold a boarding pass. The return trip is about 80 CHF.
Verified travelerSep 2024
It here were low cost cars available from the France side when there were none available from the Swiss side if Geneva airport
Verified travelerJun 2024
If you rent a car, please ask if the car has a sticker to drive on Swiss highways. The sticker is an electronic registration, so you don’t see it in the windshield. It is usually cheaper to book on the French side of the airport but you can only get there by taxi (35chf).
Verified travelerMay 2024
the car park is just below the airport. Easy to access.
Verified travelerMay 2024
Know your way in and out of Geneva. A little difficult finding the way to this side of airport. No Vignette on car.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Driving to and from the airport can be confusing. Follow the signs carefully.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Rent at the Swiss side!!!!
MaritzaJul 2023
Much cheaper than renting on the Swiss side. Also, the cars are right there and do not require a shuttle ride. But beware that if you intend to drive the car in Switzerland, you must buy a CHF 40 vignette at the border.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Be sure to request a car with authorization to drive in Switzerland to avoid a 40 Swiss Francs value to your rent and the stress of having to find where to buy the “vignette”
Verified travelerJul 2023
Very driveable, just be cognizant of small parking spots and tight garages.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ferney-Voltaire

  • Cheap car hire in Ferney-Voltaire will help make your exploration of this beautiful commune in France far more accessible. Public transportation is limited and there are many beautiful villages surrounding the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Border where Ferney-Voltaire is nestled. Famous for being the home of philosopher and writer Voltaire, the area is in many ways a shrine to his influence, with the breath-taking 18th-century Chateaux Voltaire being a top attraction. There are also statues erected in his honour amongst the old architecture and artisans workshops of the area. Explore the Ferney-Voltaire Market, enjoy top-notch restaurants, and take a drive out to Yvoire, a gorgeous village 30min away on the banks of Lake Geneva.
  • When flying into the area, you may collect your Ferney-Voltaire car hire at Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS). The car hire desks are located between terminals 1 and 2, with some situated outside. At the airport you can find Virtuo and SIXT in Car Park 5. National and Absolute Car Hire can be found in Terminal 2, as well as Budget, Europcar, and Hertz. The airport is about 1h 30min away from Ferney-Voltaire via the A40 and A42 motorways.
  • When driving your cheap car hire in Ferney-Voltaire, be sure to drive on the right-hand side of the road. You will find French road rules quite similar to the UK. The French observe a rule known as the ‘priorité a droite’ rule, meaning yield for traffic from the right, and you will find the roads in Ferney-Voltaire to be well-maintained. The signage is in French with occasional English translations, but it is advisable to know the basics of road signs in French before driving. The blood alcohol level is lower than in the UK at 0.05%. Local drivers should be polite and patient, and do not use your horn unless in an emergency.
  • There should be no challenges to driving your cheap car hire in Ferney-Voltaire. The highways are in great shape and roads don’t tend to get too congested. You will be close enough to the Alps to experience cold weather in winter, which could include rain and snow. Park your car under cover to avoid freezing, and make sure you are aware of the weather forecast before you embark on long trips. You will be using a manual transmission car, as that is the standard in France. If this is challenging for you, book an automatic in advance.
  • Book your rental car in Ferney-Voltaire at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Ferney-Voltaire are around 72% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • Where are the best places to park in Ferney-Voltaire?

The market gets very busy and here it would be a struggle to find parking. There are a few public car parks from the Onepark or Zenpark companies. There is also parking at Parking Ruell des Jardins. Expect to pay around €0.75 (£0.65) per hour.

This Avis location is not accessible from the Swiss side of the Geneva airport, and you can only arrive there by car. This should be made clear at the time of booking, as the only option is to take a taxi from the Swiss side of the airport to the French side, which cost 40 CHF each way- an additional 80CHF in total and considerable waste of time. There is no way to access it by public transport as it is not permmited to walk from the closest bus stop to this section of the airport.

Firts the background:- I usually rent cars regularly through Sixt (for a good 20 years) and experience is always excellent, this happens most of the times directly but also through 3rd party companies. This time I needed the car, only to go on a short trip and therefore I went on your website (kayak) to get a car that does that purpose and the rate shown by Avis was about a 100 U$ and most other companies charged the double if not more?! Accordingly I went to Avis and the team member that rented me the car was very convincing in her explanations..........and I signed the document (contract), for a vehicule costing nearing 300 Euros!?! I have not argued and I am now waiting for the final invoice on my credit card..........however the bottom line is that there are many AdHoc Fees/insurances etc....and that I will not use AVIS again or KAYAK.......as the technique used in that advertising is non transparent it included what we call in the business language...........Hidden Fees and in french Publicite mensengere....meaning false publicity. At the end of the day, I ended paynig an amount totally different from what was originally publicised ( and this was not upselling, it was non transparency to say the least). Happy to elaborate further if your esteemed company is interested! +20.100.24.00009 Karim EL Ghazzawi NB: will make it a point telling the story to may fellow colleagues that are mostly Senior vice presidents in the conpanies I work for and work with, to avoid such traps.

Larger 7 seater cars. There is no options for cars that seat 7 and have room for luggage. The cars jump to a 9 seater, which are very big and quite difficult to fit in many of the small car parks.

I didn't know that the rental car would be on the French side of the Geneva airport. This was a major problem as I could not access it from the Swiss part of the airport without a boarding pass. I had to take a taxi to go all the way around the airport. It cost nearly 40 euros. A major, major disappointment. The lady at the check-in was wonderful. I think her name was Imen. She was so helpful.

Sixt website - incredibly clumsy & inconsistent. Prices varied by 50% within minutes of checking rates for the exact same vehicle class for same date windows. Sixt had 3 different reservations for me, each starting on the same date but ending on different dates <-see comment above- the website reservation process timed out repeatedly but seems to have retained incorrect information leading to multiple reservations. Rental agent apologized for issues, stating multiple customers had similar issues. Car was filthy on exterior, needed cleaning interior, windshield was very dirty. Sixt needs to invest time on theses points. I was told to make photos of vehicle when I returned the vehicle to ensure that Sixt does not attempt to charge for fictitious damage. Comment was made to me by the person in the car garage pickup area.

Amazing experience with Hertz, we got a brand new Volvo EX30 full electric car. The only downside is the organisation to drop off the car at the French sector of the Geneva Airport. If you don’t have a boarding pass you can’t enter the airport and you need to book a taxi to come pick you up. The problem was, it was a Sunday, so there was no taxi and we almost missed our train. Something to plan in advance or that Hertz should make sure we know about during pick up!

If you are already in Geneva and you want to pick up a rental car on the French side of the Geneva airport, you can only do it with a taxi ride to that side. There are no buses or train that go on that side and you can not walk it. Otherwise it was good.

I had a terrible experience with Alamo. They falsely charged me for pre-existing damage and only removed the charge after I provided time-stamped photos as proof. It was their responsibility to document the vehicle’s condition, not mine. This caused unnecessary stress during my vacation and felt like an attempt to scam me. Their lack of accountability and poor service have lost my trust—rent elsewhere.

Budget does not cover the cost of the Swiss vignette which allows the car to be driven on the main road into France and avoid driving through the center of Geneva to get to and from the airport. This adds €40 to the cost for every renter going to France or the stress of driving without one if you arrive late.
