The landlocked country of Switzerland located in the heart of Europe is so tiny, visitors can easily drive from one end of the country to the other in just a few hours by car rental in Switzerland.

However, most visitors to Switzerland will want to spend much more time in this stunning country famous for its cheese, chocolate, and spectacular mountain scenery, and car hire in Switzerland will enable visitors to spend as much time as they wish to explore all the country has to offer.

Despite the reputation of Switzerland as an expensive country to visit, cheap car hire in Switzerland is readily available at every one of the major cities and airports in the nation. It is illegal to drive on Switzerland’s major highways in a vehicle which does not have a toll sticker known as a vignette on it, but most cars rented in Switzerland already have a vignette attached to them.

Drivers who use a car rental in Switzerland must have had a valid license for at least a year, and be a minimum of 20 years old. Most Swiss cities include blue zones which require a parking disc to be placed on dashboards in order to park, but these discs can be purchased at most Swiss police stations, gas stations, and motor clubs.

Some of Switzerland’s most spectacular scenery can be found along the country’s many mountain roads, but these roads are also among the most challenging for drivers because they are so narrow and steep. The roads are well signed, however, and visitors who drive cautiously without speeding shouldn’t have many problems when driving a car rental in Switzerland.
