Tips on Car Hire at Geneva:
  • Hire from the Swiss side and don’t wait for the bus, just walk (it’s only 5 mins)
  • Don’t return the car empty – it’s expensive!
  • Iain recommends booking via Holiday Autos
  • Chemmy suggests renting from Super U on the French side for
  • long-term rentals (but don't take too much meat!)
