Hi Sasha,

Just keep in mind that here in Geneva both parking and insurance are quite expensive. So take into account that you will be paying about 400 CHF (total) a month for both. 

Hi Sasha,

regarding your future fatherhood, good luck, I hope everything will be all right with the birth. And when the time comes, you can call a taxi. First births are not so quick so you should have tiem to get on and about the get to the maternite. So call a cab, its such a stress driving when the wife is under labour, and at worst you call an ambulance if things are happening to quick.

As for buying a car, I doubt you will need a car in the early childhood of your future childs life. Kids that age can easilly be pushed around in prams and such. For more mobility, think rather buying a electric bike with a stroller. Less costs and more flexible to get around in a city. than with a car.

And a s CH K posted, it can be expensive just renting a parking space, let along the insurance costs and maintenance. A car will age even if you are not driving it more than once a week.

Unless you really think you need a car (if you live in the sticks) I suggest not to buy one if you are living in a city.

Probably I will really call taxi or use mobility if car is needed.

Thanks a lot for advices :)

I'd also recommend not buying a car. It's far too expensive, bike is better choice.

Buying a car for less than a year is not worth it. The insurance and parking alone will probably cost the same as what you are paying at mobility and then there will be extra charges and you might have a hard time selling it at a reasonable price when you are leaving.
