What types of cars can I rent in Geneva?
Keep it simple with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the top choice in Geneva. They're a joy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a wise idea if you're exploring big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more comfort and room at a price that won't break the bank.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Geneva?
Drivers with a valid licence aged 20 and over can rent a vehicle in Geneva. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 20, they will add on fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before making your reservation. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Geneva?
Before you can road trip around Geneva, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Geneva?
Roughly two-thirds of countries across the world drive on the right-hand side, and Switzerland is one of them. If you're planning to rent a vehicle in Geneva, remember to drive to local conditions.

Where can I find a Geneva car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Geneva. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
