Location information for Switzerland

Switzerland is best explored by rental car. HireCars.co.uk has over 67 pick-up locations in Switzerland. This means there is always a pick-up location close to your destination.

Known for many treasures, fine watches, excellent chocolates and the majestic Alps, Switzerland is one of Central Europe's holiday gems. A visit includes the opportunity for sightseeing in the countryside along with living it up in cosmopolitan cities. Tourists with a cheap hire car in Switzerland enjoy the greatest amount of freedom.

There is no official language in Switzerland, though Swiss German is spoken at home by more than half the population. Other prominently spoken languages are French and Italian, with English understood by many. All of these languages and cultures have fostered a unique environment in Switzerland as well as a few great museums and art galleries.

Switzerland's first city is Zurich, positioned on a picturesque lake. This city serves as gateway to the Alps region, making it a particularly good city to pass a mixed holiday of urban sightseeing and escapes into the countryside by Switzerland hire car. During the winter, locals and visitors regularly travel from Zurich to the elite St Moritz ski resort.

Another prominent Alpine destination is the Jura Mountain Range, where outdoor activities including hiking and skiing are favourite pastimes. This is the birthplace for Swiss watch-making, and a few expert craftsmen are still at work here today. Charming hamlets are scattered across the valleys, and the overall cultural atmosphere takes its cues from nearby France.

For every sleepy hideaway in Switzerland there is a metropolitan aspect that is just as rewarding. Bern is the governmental centre, rich with stoic architecture as well as modern infrastructure. Geneva is famous as a centre of international politics with hundreds of international offices based here. Lucerne and Basel are also well worth the visit.

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 HireCars.co.uk 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?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What is a worry-free label?
