What you need to know for the road

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best price, no matter when you book. But reserving your car ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Be sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

What should I bring with me when I pick up my rental car in Zurich?

You will need to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Zurich?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Zurich is 18. Make sure to check Budget's policies, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals especially.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Zurich?

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Zurich. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short commutes. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a little extravagance on their trip can choose the premium category for a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Switzerland?

In Switzerland you do need to have insurance before you rent from Budget. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I have to return my Budget rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we advise a full to full policy. You pick up your Budget rental with full tank, and you should return it filled up. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Budget. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do I need unlimited miles when I drive in Zurich?

Zurich definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Zurich Budget offer one-way car rentals?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your vehicle at another location. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.
