Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best prices on a Zurich Hertz rental car?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best rates, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. But getting well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to check the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my car rental in Zurich?

You will need to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Zurich's minimum age to rent a car?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Zurich is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to check Hertz's policy to know what the total cost is before you book.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Zurich?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Zurich. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or a sedan will have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their getaway can choose a higher-end vehicle like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Switzerland?

In Switzerland you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Hertz car rental?

Hertz requires a deposit when you book your rental car. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip to Zurich. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Hertz?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your Hertz rental with a full tank. If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Hertz. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

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

Can I get a one-way rental from Hertz?

Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental at a different location. However, there is typically an additional fee when you pick one-way.
