Location information for Zürich

Most of Zurich's treasures are right in the Old Town on either side of Lake Zurich. The many art galleries, old churches, and museums can be accessed using public transportation; there are also organized, two-hour tours starting at the rail station. Travelers who want to go beyond the old town typically arrange car rental in Zurich Downtown.

Having your own vehicle lets you explore the city centre and surrounding attractions at your own pace. Public transport in Zurich is regular and reliable, but schedules are limited. That's why many visitors opt to book cheap car rental in Zurich Downtown ahead of their arrival, typically online.

There are many opportunities to get car rental in Zurich Downtown at a discount on the internet, especially if you book weeks in advance. It's particularly hard to get a car during the peak season, so online booking is a must.

Zurich's attractions include Kunsthaus, which is one of the country's most important art centers and also its premiere art gallery. Going to the Bahnhofstrasse is also a must. It is the world's priciest shopping street where all the luxury Swiss staples are located (Rolex, etc.).

It's also easy to drive to Switzerland's picture-perfect and pristine natural surrounds. Many visitors go on river and lake cruises, especially in the summer. You also should not miss Schauspielhaus, which is Zurich's main theater, and the Opernhaus, which is where world-famous operas are performed.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Car-Rentals.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
