Top tips when hiring a car in Switzerland

Understand Swiss Driving Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local driving laws such as speed limits, rules on alcohol consumption, and mandatory equipment like the reflective safety vest and warning triangle. Remember that Switzerland uses kilometers per hour, and driving is on the right-hand side of the road.

  • Check for Winter Equipment: If you're hiring a car in winter or traveling to mountainous areas, ensure the car is equipped with winter tires and consider whether you need chains or a four-wheel drive. This is essential for safety and often a legal requirement in snowy conditions.

  • Insurance Coverage: Ensure you understand the insurance coverage provided with your rental. Check whether it includes third-party liability, collision damage waiver, and theft protection. Consider additional coverage if necessary, but avoid double insuring if your credit card or travel insurance already covers rental cars.

  • Inspect the Vehicle Thoroughly: Before leaving the rental agency, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it's all noted in the rental agreement. Take photos of the car's condition at the time of hire for your records.

  • Know Toll and Vignette Requirements: Switzerland requires a vignette (a sticker placed on the windshield) for using the motorways. Check if your rental car includes one. If not, you must purchase it separately to avoid fines. Also, familiarize yourself with tolls and parking rules in the areas you plan to visit.
