KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Thonon-les-Bains
- Car hire in Thonon-les-Bains offers flexibility to explore the city and its surrounding areas at your own pace. While public transport options include buses operated by Transalis, having a car allows you to visit places inaccessible by these modes. Explore the scenic route along the Route des Balcons du Léman, which offers stunning views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains. This road is not accessible by public transport. Another example is the medieval village of Yvoire, known for its charming cobblestone streets and flower-filled gardens. While there are buses that can take you to Yvoire, having a car gives you the freedom to stop at other picturesque spots along the way.
- When considering car hire in Thonon-les-Bains directly from the airport, you'll likely be collecting your vehicle from Geneva Airport (GVA). Popular car hire companies like Europcar and Sixt have desks in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of the airport. No airport shuttle is required, as the car hire offices are within walking distance of the terminals. Europcar is a popular choice for car hire at this airport because they offer a unique service called "Europcar Deliver & Collect". This service allows customers to have their hire car delivered directly to their hotel or preferred address within a certain radius of the airport.
- When using car hire in Thonon-les-Bains, be cautious of pedestrians and cyclists, as they are commonly seen on the roads. Pedestrians are most commonly seen in the city centre area. The streets around Place des Arts and Quai de Ripaille are bustling with pedestrians, especially during peak hours and weekends. The waterfront promenade, along Quai de Rives, is also a popular area for pedestrians, as it offers beautiful views of Lake Geneva. Drivers are generally considerate and adhere to traffic rules. However, it is advisable to be cautious, as some drivers may exhibit occasional impatience or disregard for speed limits.
- Rush hour is typically from 8:00 to 9:00 and 17:00 to 18:00. During these times, Route de Morzine and Avenue de Genève experience heavy traffic. In winter, certain mountain roads near Thonon-les-Bains, such as the D22 leading towards the Col du Corbier and the D902 towards the Col de la Ramaz, can be challenging due to heavy snowfall. One unique difficulty you may encounter while driving in Thonon-les-Bains is the narrow and winding roads in some areas. The city is located in the mountains, and certain roads, such as the Route des Gorges du Pont du Diable, can be quite narrow and curvy. This may require extra focus and attention while navigating through these roads in your Thonon-les-Bains hire car.
- Book your rental car in Thonon-les-Bains at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
