Geneva is the main gateway to the French and Swiss Alps. Rental desks stay open until 23:00–00:00, but the terminal shuts at midnight, the shared ski shuttles stop in the evening, and you have to choose between the Swiss and French sides of the airport.
After dark at Geneva, in short
The last rental desk to close is Sixt (Swiss side), at midnight every day. Out-of-hours pick-up, arranged before you fly: Sixt (French side) (until midnight, direct bookings only). The last bus or train to Geneva city centre we list leaves at about 00:30 (not yet confirmed); the terminal closes after the last flight and you can't wait inside overnight.
