Is it better to travel by train or car? We have two adults and a teenager. Geneva to Chamonix Chamonix to Paris
Paris to Amsterdam We were thinking of taking trains, but it seems to be adding up. Would it be worth it to rent a car and have the added expense of dropping off in a different country? We would consider a bus or plane, too.

You should cost this out for yourself because there are so many variables. Would discounted fares, which are restricted and must be bought in advance, work for you? Do you want a "road trip" type vacation where you stop and see the sights enroute? (The best stretch for that would be between the Alps and Paris.)

I think that we will not try to do a car rental. It looks like it would be comparable to the trains we have found. There may be hidden expenses of insurance, fees, and gas. We are looking at taking a bus from Geneva to Chamonix and then a train to Paris. We are still looking at the Paris to Amsterdam leg of the trip. Thanks for your help!
