Car Rental Geneva Airport to use in France

We are traveling by train from Paris to Geneva and need to rent a car in Geneva to drive to the French Alps. Can we take a taxi from the train station in Geneva and get to the French side of the airport to rent a car? I'm hearing that only air travelers can get to that section of the airport. Has to be at the airport because it's on a Saturday and other rental car agencies close at noon. We will not arrive until 3:45.

We need to drive to Sallanches from Geneva, stay 3 days and then return the car to Geneva and catch the train back to Paris.

Hmm. The last time I rented a car at Geneva airport, I paid no attention to what side, I just rented the car, went to the desk, signed the paper work and got instructions where to find the car in the airport parking garage and the code to exit. Then i drove to the French Alps.

Actually, I arrived by train at Geneva main station and connected to a train to the airport. It was about 7 or 8 at night when I got there. Rented from Sixt.
