Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, famous for banking but offering those on self-drive holidays so much more. It is a beautiful, affluent and stylish city and its easy pace makes driving a breeze. However, you might as well park the car and walk around the charming and compact old city or take out one of the cities free bicycles, just leave your ID and a small deposit. Your great Zurich car rental deal will be most useful when heading out of Zurich and into the gorgeous surrounding country-side.

 

Accommodation

Accommodation in Zurich ranges from affordable back-packer accommodation to five star luxury hotels. Zurich also has a strange fondness for themed hotel rooms - you can find rock star rooms, jungle safari rooms and Arabian nights rooms - particularly in the mid-range.

 

Transport

Public transport is highly effective within Zurich, and includes trains, trams, great public buses and river boats. However, you can also drive your rental car around on its easy and well-sign posted roads. Once out of town, enjoy the rolling green hills and snow - capped alpine scenery by driving an excellent value car hire vehicle at your own pace. Take care on mountain roads. Use dipped lights in all tunnels, take special care on mountain passes and remember that ascending traffic has right of way over descending traffic. Swiss police are tough on drink driving, so don't risk it. You may need to attach snow chains to your Zurich car rental vehicle, and you need a vignette or ticket to use motorways around Zurich. You don't need an international drivers license, but to take advantage of our great low rates for Zurich car hire, you need a drivers license from your home country with no major endorsements.

 

Food

By all means, eat as many delicious Swiss chocolates as you can while enjoying Swiss chocolate-box scenery - just don't put your sticky fingers all over your Zurich rental car. Zurich has a vibrant cafe and bar scene. As well as favourites such as fondue, try out great spaghetti houses and diverse treats including curries and Spanish paella!

 

Airports and Air Travel

The train into town from the airport takes only 10 minutes. Zurich's international and domestic airport has great services and facilities including a wide range of shopping and dining outlets. Numerous car rental agencies are represented at the airport, which means picking up your affordable Zurich car rental will always be convenient.
