The French side, near Ferney-Voltaire, is generally cheaper by comparison. However, the Swiss side offers several additional benefits. If you hire a car from the Swiss side of Geneva Airport cars are equipped with Swiss motorway toll stickers, saving you approximately 40 Euros. During the winter season cars on the Swiss side are equipped with the mandatory snow tyres and chains, included in the cost of your car hire in Geneva. Perfect if you are travelling to any ski resorts in the Alps.
Returning your car to Geneva Airport French side can also be confusing, as all the signposted roads direct you to the ‘main’ entrance in Switzerland. If you have picked up your car on the French side it cannot be returned to the Swiss Side. If you are returning from Switzerland please allow plenty of time to navigate back to the French side.
