Does the direct currency exchange provide a good exchange rate? The same as using my ATM card? Just curious.

Also, I know we can store our luggage at Cornavin. Is there also a storage facility at GVA as that would be more convenient for us than at Cornavin.

Thanks for your help.

I recall seeing the conversion machine that the OP referred to at GVA some years ago. I was waiting to meet up with a fellow traveller from another flight at the rental car counters. I remember standing next to the machine and facing the Hertz counter.

But I prefer ATM's.
