The agent who we interacted upon our arrival was not helpful and was not empathetic at all. I forgot my physical cards and my husband’s credit card was acting up. We were trying to pay with cash/debit card and were told they won’t accept it and they do not allow apple pay or cash as the “whole of Switzerland” guess what? We were able to use apple pay anywhere and Sixt helped us get a vehicle without that unhelpful tone like that guy.

The reception staffs are nice and friendly to answer my questions. The car is brand new and wonderful SUV which accompanied my wife and I for over 2000km. However, the printing confirmation letter was found mistake in car picking up time that made us worry and choose an early pick-up. I hope the written material can be more accurate so that customer can feel safer.

the pickup office staff were delightful, and efficient. It was only when we reached our destination ( hundreds of miles up in a small village through winding, narrow roads) that we discovered the toddler seat had NOT BEEN INSTALLED. It merely sat on the back seat, without being tethered!!! Obviously we'd buckled the seat belt, but this is insufficient, dangerous and not what was expected. We also, despite having received an email telling us we wouldn't believe how easy it is to charge an electric car, found it very difficult to locate an outlet compatible with the car. Upon returning the car, we mentioned the problems we'd had, only to be told 'we weren't the first to say this'

Return to Malpensa airport in Milan Italy was a challenge. The normal rental car return area in Terminal 2 has been closed and shifted temporarily to Terminal 1 garages. it would have been great if Europcar has noted this at either pickup or reservation time. It cost me about an extra hour to sort it out. It would have been nice if Europcar has alerted travelers to this change.

All went well until drop off (after hours) where they were extremely anal retentive about a minuscule scuff to the wheel insisting that it was chargeable damage, not fair wear and tear. This is despite their definition of wheel damage being a ‘gouge’. All other cars that I have hired have had some tolerance for ‘curb rash’. They attempted to charge me £440 Swiss francs for this, which is totally unreasonable. I had to return in person and after a lot of negotiation I managed to reduce the charge to 110 Swiss francs. They admitted that 110 Swiss francs was in fact the cost to replace to replace the wheel not 440 Swiss francs so this was a major overcharge. So overall it was an unnecessary stressful experience.

So collection of the vehicle at Zurich, had to wait in line because only one staff member on duty. Not given paperwork on allocated vehicles condition. Informed was being upgraded to next sized car, of which I did not want as I booked an economy car to save fuel (as a result i spent more on fuel because of upgrade). Told no economy cars available!!!! Got to vehicle, which was covered in scratches, dents, marks etc (is this why I wasn't given the paperwork on condition of allocated vehicle). Informed lady in enterprise office who gave out the keys, wasn't interested in this car and told me to take photos of scratches etc and report them on the return. Told me she was too busy to look at vehicle (outstanding) During the use of this vehicle I was not impressed. Having returned vehicle at airport with full tank of fuel, and placed keys in security box, I have to this day received no confirmation from the company of the vehicles return, nothing. Not really good enough, and not what I paid for

Seemingly nice staff, but not a place I'd like to rent from again. The gentleman who helped us at the counter, had us fill out a very non-professional piece of paper to provide the information we already gave on line. What is the point of using computers to rent cars if you can't transfer information from one to another? Why fill out a silly piece of paper. Then he proceeds to ask if we have baggage? HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WHO TRAVEL FROM THE UNITED STATES TO SWITZERLAND WITHOUT BAGS?! OF COURSE WE HAVE BAGGAGE! What a ridiculous thing to ask. Turns out a 7 passenger vehicle is pretty much useless for 6 people with bags. Here’s the biggest problem with Alamo/Enterprise. What a scam!! The first car they gave us for 6 people and bags was a Peugeot 5008. It was of course too small. The second car they gave us was a Renault Grand Scenic which they said was bigger. Well, it is only a few millimeters bigger. Where they scam you again is they charged me a 100CHF more for the supposed bigger car and the prepaid gas. I don’t know if those rip-off artists know that the Peugeot (the first car) has a 56 liter gas tank. The second car, the Renault, has either 50 liter tank or a 60 liter tank. So those con artists charged an extra 100CHF me for a tank that holds six liters less or for a tank that holds four liters more. A total scam!! 100CHF for an extra four liters of gas is 25CHF per liter. These are very bad humans. The least you could do is give me my 100CHF back. Then maybe I’d consider their services again.

Pick up in Kloten was quick and easy. I never like trying to be tricked into upcharging the price of my vehicle with add-ons such as extra insurance toll passes and such. These can double the price of your rental and your charge card covers you for the extra insurance. Having said that, we were charged over $550 for a scrape mark on the rear tire. Yes, a scrape mark. No damage to the rim and the tire was fine. We were only informed of this after we returned home. Unfortunately Avis, like almost all rental car companies are always out to "get you" with extra charges.

It appeared that the location is closed and they don’t rent cars to people (only for companies). So my experience was the worst. I’ve made some bookings for hotels as well, and lost money, because I couldn’t go where I wanted. I didn’t manage to find another rental company in my city and was very disappointed, as well as my family.

Car hire in Switzerland

Learn everything there is to know about hiring a car in Switzerland so you can be properly prepared for your next trip

What side of the road do people in Switzerland drive on?

Whether you hire or own a car in Switzerland, you are required by law to drive on the right. Keep in mind that if you do not feel comfortable driving on this side of the road, you can always call a taxi or opt for a ride share.

How good are the roads in Switzerland?

Switzerland has a road quality score of 5.9 on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 is the lowest rated score. This puts Switzerland at 9 out of 137 countries for road conditions. You may find that depending on where you travel within Switzerland that the road quality will vary.

What is the drink driving limit in Switzerland?

The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit in Switzerland is 0.05%. However, it’s important to check regional or local city laws because sometimes this limit might be different. The BAC in Switzerland may also vary based on age, driving experience, and whether or not you are driving a commercial vehicle. Keep in mind that there are stricter penalties for those who drink-drive and are under the legal drinking age. In Switzerland, you must be at least 16 to drink.

How much does petrol cost in Switzerland?

Last week, the price of petrol in Switzerland was €1.79 per litre on average. This is subject to change based the city you visit, time of year, and the country’s current economy. If you’re looking to hire a car on a budget, consider a country with lower fuel prices such as Kuwait which has an average price of €0.30 per litre. Hong Kong is another great country to visit if you aren’t worried about petrol prices, which tend to be around €2.91 per litre as of last week.

We recommend reading through the policy of your chosen hire company before booking.

What documentation or ID do you need to hire a car in Switzerland?

To hire a car in Switzerland, all drivers must have a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of hire, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're hiring a car abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay.
