Important information about Interlaken car hire

Can I cross the border with a rental car from Interlaken?

It is always an exciting prospect to explore neighbouring countries when you are in mainland Europe, and fortunately, driving across borders on the continent is usually so seamless, you might not even notice when you enter another country. Most Interlaken car hire agencies will conveniently let you drive your hire car through neighbouring countries in the European Union or Shengen area. However, the specific conditions and which countries you are allowed to enter will depend on the provider of your car hire in Interlaken and your selection of vehicle category. Sixt, for example, do not allow Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover, Aston Martin, Maserati and Volkswagen cars or any off-road vehicles to enter Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. You should inform your car hire agency of your intentions to drive abroad, as the breach of the conditions for journeys across the border will cause all limitations of liability to lose their validity.

Can you hire a car in Interlaken without a credit card?

Car hire companies require a payment card as insurance, in case of car accidents or in the event of other unfortunate surprises during your car hire in Interlaken. While some people dislike using a credit card, don’t have one or prefer using a debit card, not all Interlaken car hire agencies will take debit cards for security purposes (even if they accept it as a form of payment for the booking). Whether a debit card is accepted for a security deposit depends on your car hire agency and the location of the branch. For example, Budget and Sixt will accept a debit card in Switzerland, while Avis and Hertz will not (even though Avis accepts debit cards in Portugal). Finding cheap car rental in Interlaken is one thing, but finding one that accepts debit cards for a security deposit is another, so be sure to check with your provider about their specific policy.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Interlaken?

For the most part, Swiss road rules are not too different from the UK, apart from the reversed traffic direction and a few peculiar additions. So stay on the right, and overtake on the left. Unless a diamond shaped priority sign is displayed, give way to traffic on the right. Switch off your engines at traffic lights and level crossings to reduce pollution. While you are driving, you are not allowed to use a mobile phone, play with GPS devices, eat or wear headphones that prevent you from hearing emergency services, so pull over before eating your sandwich or putting in directions. The blood alcohol limit is 0.05% for drivers, and even travelling in the same car as a driver who is drunk may cost you your driver’s licence.

What documents does an international traveller need to hire a car in Interlaken?

As in any country, you will need your driver’s licence with you for your car hire in Interlaken, which you need to have held for at least a year by the date of your car hire. In addition, any driver's licence not printed in the Roman alphabet (for example, in Arabic, Chinese, Hangul, Cyrillic, etc) must be complemented by an international driver's permit. Drivers only need to be 20 years old to qualify for car hire, but a young driver surcharge applies for drivers under 25 years old. On top of that, a deviation from the minimum hire age is possible according to the car group. You may also be required to present an identity card or passport when picking up the car.
