Hi Radcon,
You can go the the Geneva airport website, and you'll see the car rental companies are here. Really, it's no different that renting a car from any other airport, expect for the fact that you'll pay more if you want an automatic transmission.
The car will likely be diesel. Diesel prices have gone up considerably over the past while so it's not necessarily cheaper than gas anymore.
One interesting aspect of the Geneva airport is that it stradles the French border and there is actually a French portion (Switzerland is not in the EU so there is a difference). Chances are it will be cheaper to rent the car from the French side, which should be listed as the city Ferney-Voltaire. It's a bit tricky to make it to the French side (especially if you have lugguge) after landing, but certainly doable. Gas seems to be about the only thing consistently cheaper in Switzerland than France.
I live about 5 miles from the Geneva airport. It was almost 20C (70F) a week ago, and it's been snowing since last night! Crazy! There's still some ski resorts open if that's your thing.
Let me know if you need any more info on the area. I've been here a year and half now, and some aspects are really quite nice.
Ciao!
