About Europcar:7.0/10
The car did not have winter tyres despite me making it very clear I was going to a ski resort. I had to pay extra for the winter tyres when collecting the car.
Because Geneva is on the border of Switzerland and France there are two drop off locations, which are not very clear at the airport. We eventually found one but it was on the Swiss side and were told that they would charge use CHF 300 to transfer it to the French side. Following direction on a bad map we were given we eventually found the correct one about an hour later!
“Had to pay 100 euros extra to upgrade as the car class I ordered was not available.”
About Europcar:5.7/10
Will never use Europcar again! And will never hire from the French side of Geneva airport again - both are too much stress and hassle! No winter tyres available on a car that will spend 90% of its time driving up the alps? Then told because I didn’t have winter tyres I need to up the insurance to cover - double the rental. Then told car I ordered not available and to get a car we could fit our luggage in I needed to pay an upgrade, not happy! Then access to French side of Geneva airport is unmarked and very difficult to find - even with Satnav. Whole rental was a very stressful experience for 80 miles driven to resort and back, next time we will use a transfer service!
Your website said cars were insured for use in Switzerland but failed to mentained wntertyres are mandated. We needed to upgrade the car to get the tyres at a cost of €210. Very unhappy and the Europcar girl was hopeless at dealing with the issue denying any association with the problem as the booking was not made directly. She then failed to give us the map for the return of the car. In Geneva finding the French side is very tricky and it took us over an hour of curcling the airport to find the place. In the end we picked up the map from the Swiss side and managed to return the car. Overall in an industry of continual gotchas this one was well up there.

About Europcar:6.0/10
Car was OK, but not as big as expected. Staff were abrupt. Finding drop off point in French sector of GVA was VERY difficult and stressful. I would hesitate to go there again
