The rental company
Geneva, a departure point straddling the border
BlackSheep lists its Swiss departures under Geneva, but its two addresses are just across the border, in the Pays de Gex, in France. The first is a car park on Chemin des Trois Noyers in Ferney-Voltaire, very close to the international airport; the second, at 103 rue de la Maladière in Ornex, a few kilometres further north.
This location has a practical consequence: the trip starts in France and you enter Switzerland a few minutes later. Lausanne is less than an hour away on the Lake Geneva motorway, Montreux and Valais a little further; the Col de la Faucille and the Jura rise above the depot, and Haute-Savoie, from Annecy to Chamonix, is within easy reach. As for prices, CoolDrive has not yet recorded any for BlackSheep on this departure: the search calculates them for your dates.
Our view: a well-placed address for a trip combining French-speaking Switzerland and the French Alps, especially if you fly into Geneva. It remains a single departure point: for Zurich, Bern or Ticino, McRent and Anywhere Campers offer other departure points in the country.

Our view
BlackSheep: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
BlackSheep is ideal if…
- Your flight lands in Geneva and you want to hit the road without a detour

BlackSheep is not ideal if…
- You would rather leave from Zurich, Bern or Lugano
- You plan to sleep out in the wild every night, away from designated sites
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with BlackSheep
-
Sort out the vignette before customs
As the campervan sets off from France, ask at pick-up whether it already has the current year’s Swiss vignette. If not, buy the e-vignette online before joining the Lausanne motorway: checks are frequent, and the fine comes on top of the price of the vignette.
-
Check which passes are open
The Great St Bernard, Furka, Grimsel and Susten passes close during the cold season and generally reopen between late spring and early summer. Before planning a route through the Alps, check their status; a tunnel or a car-carrying train sometimes lets you bypass a pass that is still snowbound.
-
Plan where to spend the night
In Switzerland, sleeping in a campervan outside a campsite or an authorised area depends on the canton and municipality, and is often prohibited. Book a pitch in summer around Lake Geneva and in the Bernese Oberland, where sites fill up quickly, and keep a fallback option on the French side.
What travellers ask
Your questions about BlackSheep
Are BlackSheep’s Geneva depots in Switzerland?
No: both addresses are in France, within the Geneva conurbation. Ferney-Voltaire almost touches the airport, Ornex is a little further north. For you, the difference mainly lies in crossing the border within the first few minutes, and in the Swiss vignette you need to plan for.
How can you estimate the price of a BlackSheep campervan from Geneva?
CoolDrive has not yet recorded any prices for this departure. Search Geneva for your dates: the list shows the BlackSheep campervans available and their price, mandatory fees included, to compare with the other rental companies present in Switzerland.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — BlackSheep campervan hire in Switzerland
Should you expect a customs check?
Switzerland is part of the Schengen area but not of the EU customs union. Systematic identity checks have gone, but goods checks have not: keep your papers to hand and find out about the duty-free allowances for meat, alcohol and tobacco.
Can you pay in euros in Switzerland?
The currency is the Swiss franc. Many petrol stations and shops accept euros, but change is given in francs and the exchange rate applied is rarely favourable. A bank card remains the simplest option, including at campsites and motorhome areas.
Can you return the campervan somewhere other than Geneva?
BlackSheep has only one departure point linked to Switzerland. A return to another city, in France for example, is only possible if the offer provides for it: enter the drop-off city you want in the search to see whether such a route exists, and at what cost.
