Did you know that if you live in neighboring France, or one of the cantons of Geneva close to but not including Geneva and Vaud, you are eligible to a variety of discounts when you fly from Geneva airport?
If not, then you should check out this webpage on the Geneva airport website for more information: http://www.gva.ch/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-40/ and make sure to fill out the form well in advance of your trip.
If you live in the French departments of Ain or Haute Savoie, or one of the nearby Swiss cantons such as Fribourg, Jura, Neuchâtel, Bern, or Valais, you stand to make significant savings when you travel through Geneva airport on business or holiday.
As the Christmas holidays approach, many of you will be traveling abroad, either heading back home to visit family and friends with bags full of presents, or returning from university carrying rucksacks laden with heavy bags. Some of you may just be taking a well-earned break in the sun!
The chances are that some of you will have excess baggage or oversized luggage that will need shipping to your destination. With some flight operators, the cost of placing this luggage in the hold can be so prohibitive that you end up having to leave many of your belongings behind.
As the costs of car ownership get higher and higher, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify buying a car, especially if you live in a town or city with good public transport.
However, no matter how good your local transport system is, there are always times when it is simply impossible to get to your chosen destination, either because there are no services at the time you want to travel, or they simply don’t operate in this location. This is particularly true during the festive season when many transport operators are providing a reduced service.
Mobility Car Sharing is an innovative service, which aims to fill this gap, and makes available 2,350 vehicles at 1,200 stations throughout Switzerland. Mobility customers can also car-share when they’re abroad. There are currently more than 1,700 cars in 140 towns and cities throughout Austria and Germany.
Booking a car is extremely simple. You can either:
• reserve a car online using the Internet-customer portal
• book using the “mobility car” app on your iPhone
• call a 24 hour Service Center
• use the on-board computer inside your Mobility vehicle
