Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Switzerland car reservation?
We have good news! You should be eligible for a full refund if you advise us a minimum of six hours before pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to check the car's rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Switzerland?
Economy, premium, full-size ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Switzerland. If you're looking for something economical and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a smart choice. Driving around busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer slightly more room compared to economy rides and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travelers.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Switzerland with Expedia?
Nabbing an awesome deal on your Switzerland rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add in a few more details and compare prices from popular brands.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Switzerland?
Drivers 21 and above can road trip around Switzerland in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Switzerland?
Renting a car in Switzerland is simple. Normally, all you'll need is your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. After settling on your wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Switzerland?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a ride to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Switzerland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Switzerland outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
