New Car Hire arranagements at Geneva Airport

I have scanned the wires for any info on this but can't find any - many apologies if am duplicating.

I hear on the grapevine that the car hire area has been moved at Geneva airport and is causing some issues.

Has anyone got any light to shed on this..? Have a stressed father-in-law trying to make plans about driving up to St Martin and rumour-ville isn't helping at the moment..!

Thanks for help

:DHi,

You do not mention whether this is affecting the french side or swiss side?

I rented from the french side the middle (maybe 4 -5 weeks ago) of last month and there was no indication anything was going to change,i cannot see from experience of the layout how they could accommadate this .

I will investigate furthe and see if i can dig something up.

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year :D :D

jon.

wasn't it that the cars were now in a different location? and the desks hadn't moved?

On Thursday this week the carhire desks on the swiss side were in the same place as last winter.

Although there is a some building work going on to extend areas of the terminal so maybe that is causing problems.

Rental desks are in the arrivals hall on the Swiss side as usual. Car hire vehicles are now located at P51, and a shuttle bus is provided for the transfer.

The car park is about a 10 minute walk, which would be hard work if you had luggage, so take the bus provided.

I thought that's what I'd heard, here's a map :

:DHi ,

Emailed this queery to Geneva airport and the reply sent back is as follows :D

Dear Jonathan,

Yes the car rental companies have moved. Their new desk are still located in the arrival level, but in the other side following the Post Office. The companies working at the airport are Hertz, Europcar, Budget, Sixt, Avis and National-Alamo.

The car rental's parking has moved as well. It is now located in parking P51. A free shuttle bus is available from the new car rental's desks and from the P51. More information are available here.

Should you have any additional question, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We wish you a merry christmas and a very happy new year!

Best regards

The Car Hire Company desks were in the usual place on Thursday 18th. The airport must have moved them since, and I have no idea where the Post Office is :shock:
