There's a strange problem. The car I rented from Thrifty was actually provided by Hertz. I picked it up in Nice and returned it at Geneva Airport, but I still don't know where the return point (said to be the French zone of Geneva Airport) is. Has anyone ever returned a Hertz car at Geneva Airport? Could you please point it out? Is there a difference between returning a car in the French zone and the Swiss zone at Geneva Airport? Thank you ? Switzerland Q&A

Ask the fellow wuzhuos for some experience. I plan to drive on my own from Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken in the first three days. Then go to Murren for two days, Grindelwald for two days. On the last day, I plan to drive along Montreux, Lavaux, Lausanne, and arrive at Geneva airport at night. Because, the car will be parked in Lauterbrunnen for two days in the middle, and the car will almost not be used during the two days in Grindelwald. Do you think I should return the car at the East Station of Interlaken before going to Murren, take the train, and then take the train to Geneva, or drive all the way ? Switzerland Q&A

When picking up the car, be sure to check on the spot whether there are scratches on the car, whether the tools and documents are complete, and whether the lights are OK, etc. If there are defects, be sure to ask the staff to issue a pickup and inspection form and note the details, and keep this form. When returning the car, also be sure to ask the staff to issue a return and inspection form to indicate that the car is in good condition. Keep these two forms well for a long time as evidence to refute deductions. Also be sure to abide by traffic rules, otherwise you will receive traffic deduction information after returning home. Wishing everyone a smooth journey ? Switzerland Q&A

Friendly reminder to future car renters, be sure to inspect and take multiple photos when picking up the car. When I picked up the car, I found a damage (scratched wheel hub) that was not listed on the rental agreement. I asked them to confirm, and it turned out there were actually more damages, but they didn't care about the smaller ones. However, when I returned the car yesterday, they found another scratched wheel hub on a different tire, but I completely don't remember that tire being scratched. The key is that we took photos of all the other tires when picking up the car, except for that one which we missed... And the lighting was very dim when we picked up the car, so I really don't remember if we looked closely at that one ? Switzerland Q&A

Hello fellow car owners, I wonder if any of you have encountered being charged by the car dealership? (Main reason: The other party was fully responsible for the accident, and they had full coverage insurance while we only had basic insurance. When we returned the car, the dealership said the other party would compensate us. Six months later, we received a notification saying that they were investigating whether there were any damages to the car that were not caused by a third party, and then they charged over 10,000 yuan to our credit card. How should we handle this?) ? Switzerland Q&A
