Car Rental in Geneva

Family car rental in Geneva

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Switzerland traditionally include the following vehicles: VW Passat, Renault Scenic, Peugeot 508, Ford Mondeo, Hyundai Sonata, Mercedes A Class and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Geneva borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Geneva might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Geneva!

It is possible to use numerous free parking lots only in case you have a special parking dial plate because the time of free parking is limited and strictly controlled. It is possible to purchase the dial plate in any shop for car owners or at any petrol station.
Using the dial plate is not difficult at all. On arriving at the parking lot, you simply need to set up the appropriate time and place the card in a visible place in the front window. If the parking officer notices that the driver does not leave the parking lot once the maximum allowed period is over, the driver will get the fine of approximately 40 francs.
Tourists, who plan to walk in the mountains and enjoy beautiful nature, should not worry about finding a parking space. Sidewalks of all mountain roads are equipped with special pockets where it is possible to leave your car for free. When parking, make sure that your car will not become an obstacle for other road users.
