How to get there
Twenty British airports offer direct flights to Geneva and airlines include Easyjet, Jet2, Bmi Baby, ThomsonFly , Swiss and British Airways but some services are seasonal. All the major car hire companies are represented at Geneva and visitors are advised to pre-book online to avoid unnecessary delays on arriving by air. We advise that you book cars on the Swiss side of the airport as exit and access is easier than on the French side.
We frequently suggest Argus car hire who will search for the best deals available from the rental companies.
For clients who prefer to drive, most of our visitors use Dover-Calais/Boulogne and L D Lines generally offer the most competitive rates and quickest crossing via Boulogne. Allow nine hours for the 545 miles of which 500 are motorways costing 65€. If stopping overnight, Reims is a convenient city where several budget hotel chains have sites.
