Valet parking & Kiss & Fly at Geneva Airport.
Drop your car at the terminal and let someone else park it, or use the short free drop-off zone. Here’s how valet parking and Kiss & Fly work at GVA, and when each one is worth it.
Official valet parking
Genève Aéroport runs an official valet service through two authorised concession holders. You drive into P1, hand the car over on level −3, and it is parked for you — ready and waiting when you land.
Valet parking is the fastest, most comfortable option if you’re driving yourself to the airport — no hunting for a space, no shuttle, no walk with luggage. You book with one of the two authorised operators — AirportParking or easy-park.ch — then drive to car park P1, follow the “Services Voiturier” area on level −3, and hand your keys and parking ticket to their desk on the Check-in level. On return you collect the key at the same desk; the car is waiting in P1, level −3. It costs more than a standard car park, so it suits business trips, early flights and travellers with heavy bags or young children. Compare against self-park rates on our parking guide and parking calculator.
Kiss & Fly drop-off
The Kiss & Fly area sits on the Departures level, a few steps from the Terminal 1 entrance. It is free and open 24/7 — but it is a drop-off only: Genève Aéroport states that stopping to park there, even briefly, is not allowed, and that picking up an arriving passenger is not possible there at all.
Free, but only to drop off
Genève Aéroport describes Kiss & Fly as free and open 24/7, designed for a very short stop — set down your passengers and their bags, then leave the area. Stopping to park there, even briefly, is not allowed.
You cannot pick up there
Genève Aéroport states that picking up an arriving passenger is not possible at Kiss & Fly — you have to use one of the car parks. It is not a question of cost: waiting there is simply not allowed.
Short-stay alternative
For pick-ups, a short-stay car park near arrivals is cheaper and calmer than circling. See the parking guide for the closest options.
Time it with the flight
Check live arrivals before you set off so you reach Kiss & Fly as the passenger clears, not before. See live arrivals.
Valet, Kiss & Fly, or a transfer?

You’re driving yourself and want zero hassle door-to-terminal. Best for business trips and early departures.
Kiss & Fly
Someone is dropping you off and leaving straight away. Free and open 24/7, but for setting down only — not for waiting or picking up.
Private transfer
No car to park at all: a Mercedes drops you at departures and meets you in arrivals. See transfers.
Geneva Airport valet & Kiss & Fly — FAQ
Is there valet parking at Geneva Airport?
Yes — through two concession holders, AirportParking and easy-park.ch, which Genève Aéroport says are the only companies authorised to offer valet parking on site. You book with one of them, hand the car over in P1 on level −3, and collect it there when you land. It costs more than self-parking but saves time and effort, making it popular for business trips, early flights and travellers with heavy luggage.
What is Kiss & Fly at Geneva Airport?
Kiss & Fly is the drop-off area on the Departures level, a few steps from the Terminal 1 entrance. It is free and open 24/7. It is meant for a quick “kiss and go”: Genève Aéroport states that stopping to park there, even briefly, is not allowed. To meet an arriving passenger you have to use one of the car parks — pick-ups are not possible at Kiss & Fly.
How much does valet parking cost at Geneva Airport?
Valet parking is a premium option priced above the standard car parks, with rates depending on how long you leave the car. Book in advance through the airport’s parking service for the best price and a guaranteed space. Compare it against self-park options on our parking guide and parking calculator before you decide.
Can I wait at Kiss & Fly to pick someone up?
It’s not designed for waiting — the free period is short and you’re charged beyond it, so costs build up quickly if a flight or baggage is delayed. For pick-ups, use a short-stay car park near arrivals and check live arrivals before you set off, so you only move to the terminal once your passenger has cleared.
Skip the parking question entirely?
A private Mercedes means no car to park and no Kiss & Fly clock running — door to door, driver waiting in arrivals. From CHF 130.
