Passengers may travel between France and Switzerland, as long as they have a passport, without leaving Geneva International Airport. Not only does this unique airport four kilometres outside of downtown Geneva along the city’s largest motorway with car hire in Geneva Airport straddle the borders of two countries, it is also home to Switzerland’s longest concrete runway at 3,900m long.

Both the airport’s Swiss and French sectors provide a plethora of vehicles, but knowing which country passengers plan to do the majority of their driving makes their selection much easier. Swiss car rental dealerships have the country’s mandatory vignettes on all of their vehicles, while French car rental companies do not.

Passengers who remain in and get their car rental in Geneva Airport from the airport’s French sector, on the other hand, can avoid Swiss customs so long as they do not enter the Swiss sector of the airport. Any planned driving between borders must be disclosed in advance to the company where visitors book their car hire in Geneva Airport.

Some dealerships require motorists to be a minimum of 25 years old before renting a cheap car hire in Geneva Airport, while other dealerships allow those 20 and up to hire vehicles. However, all visitors to Geneva Airport may take advantage of the airport’s completely equipped business centre, large amount of shops, post office, almost 20 eating establishments, banking services, nursery, ATMs, and many other amenities.

Just in 2009, over 11 million passengers entered Geneva Airport aboard more than 150,000 flights. These flights passed between the international city of Geneva and approximately 100 other cities throughout the world.
