Good car, lowest price at last minute
Pros: We decided to rent a car at the last minute, there wee very few cars avaialable. Our car was nearly 600 Euro for 1 week, much more than we expected, but still nearly 100 Euro less than the next company and 200 Euro less than Hertz. The drop-off was strange, no one gave me any paperwork but hopefully that will be OK.
Cons: The people at the car return were not very professional, kept talking to one another and ignored me for some time. They didn't give me any paper that certified that I returned the car. In retrospect, I should have insisted that they give me a receipt.

Cons: في مطار جنيف القسم السويسري فيه موظف مغربي انتبهوا منه لو عرض عليكم عروض
صراحة حرامي ونصااااااب بقووة
الحرامي الكلب اعطاني سيارة بنزين غير الديزل والديزل أوفر
الحرامي الكلب اعطاني سيارة مو سيارة اللي انا طالبها بالبوكينغ بمساحة اكبر
ويقول افضل من اللي انت حاجزها طلعت سيارة اقل حجماً
وللمعلومية هالكلام على سيارتين مو سيارة واحدة
صحيح نفس السعر لكن مو نفس المساحة للشنط

Change of car type
Pros: Quick service
Cons: The pushing of the reception employee to upgrade to a higher car for almost 50% extra on my reserved class .
When I rejected ... he told me the car I requested in not ready and will give you a bigger and higher class car for the same price .
Later I found that he gave me lower class car which can not be compared at all with the one I paid for ..

Another good rental
Pros: The car was well prepared and had no faults of any kind, and the price was competitive.
Cons: It would be helpful to tell drivers to enter Building 51 in the far right lane to get to the drop off zone. There are signs, but a reminder from Europcar would be helpful.

Very nice staff, good car
Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpfull ( Claire and Maktum in Geneve!).
It was not clear to me that my reservation would be ended after two hours after pick-up time. So there was no car reservated anymore.
Both Claire and Maktum were very helpfull in finding a similar car. It took a while because of some technical problems with the first choice, but after all it was a very comfortable and reliable car.
Cons: The fact that my reservation was not extended till my plane has arrived, but I didn't know that that should heve been indicated or phoned in advance.

Excellent car! Completely incorrect price when acc
Pros: The car was excellent. The AWD was helpful when driving in the mountains, the size was exactly what I had selected and hoped for, and the vehicle was clean and well-equipped.
Cons: The final price ended up being nearly $100 more than the quote price (which included "Taxes, Fees and Surcharges"). When pressed for an explanation at the Dropoff, the employee simply said "Well that's what it is, they are extra fees" and could not explain what they were for, why they were not included, nor provide any recourse for further information. It was completely unacceptable.

RAS pour le véhicule, service à déploer
Pros: Propreté du véhicule
Station service à proximité
...
Cons: J'ai réservé le véhicule à mon nom. Un ami a pu récupérer le véhicule avant que j'arrive, sans mon permis de conduire, en mettant le sien et sa carte de crédit... Qui serait alors responsable ? Le réservataire, le propriétaire du permis ou celui de la carte ?
Aucun effort pour expliquer le système de rachat de franchise, ils préfèrent qu'on rapidement et donc sans.
Dans l'ensemble le personnel est assez désagréable...
Le tarif annoncé sur le site est sans tax, sans licence...

Pros: I rented a ford fiesta but they upgraded me to a jeep renegade for free. The car was perfect and I hadn't troubles with it at all. The customer service was brilliant too.

Horrible service
Pros: I had to cancel my reservation and was bumped between priceline and hertz a total of 4 times. Each saying the other was responsible for cancelling. I still have not received a message confirming the cancellation and that I have not been charged. I know that this is an automated bank to receive feedback but here's hoping you care about your customers to investigate and respond.

It was a bad experience with Hertiz
Pros: It was clean
Cons: They took extra money more than we agreed on the site with the insurance despite of your offer price which made me cancel another reservation because I thought you were better price and offers .I had an accident I lost the key and they didn't give me a nother car or a Spair key for the car and they sent someone to pick up the car and left us in the rain with my children in the highway waiting for the Taxi for 2 hours. .It will be the last time I rent a car from Hertiz or with your site if you didn't solve the problem.

Strange customer service rep
Pros: The price of the rental car
Cons: The AGNET charged me two security deposites. One valued at 1600 euros which was not even registered in the rental contract. It was really fishy. Also, the agnet tried to rip me off by charging me additional 350 euros for changing the drop off location within the same city. i refused and eventually changed the drop off location at no additional charge.

Top tips for hiring a car in Geneva
- Travelers with flights landing at Geneva Airport will be happy to hear that the airport’s hire car facilities are not only quick and easy to reach but also serve both the Swiss and French sides of the border. Car hires for the Swiss side can be found on the Arrivals level near La Poste. To reach the hire desks for the French side, travelers must follow the “Destination France” signs and then go through customs. After that, the hire counters are by the Air France KLM desks.
- Right of way can be a bit confusing at times in Geneva, especially for those who are not used to driving in Europe. However, one aspect of right of way can be cleared up quickly and easily: yielding to buses. In Geneva you must yield to buses merging into traffic -- this is something that is taken very seriously here.
- Beware of using your phone while driving in Switzerland, as it is illegal to call, text, or use cell phones when driving unless it is hands-free. It is advised that drivers make sure to have their passengers follow the phone laws; otherwise, they risk getting fined.
- Geneva has some of the worst rush hour traffic in Switzerland. Drivers can expect the morning rush hour to start around 7:00 a.m. and finish around 9:00 a.m., with the Mont-Blanc Bridge bearing the brunt of the traffic. In the evening, rush hour starts at about 5:00 p.m. and lasts until 7:00 p.m.

Parking in the older parts of the city can especially be a problem for larger cars.
