Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Sion Airport (SIR)?
Land at Sion Airport (SIR) and then head to Europcar or Avis, both a short distance away. You'll be discovering the sights and sounds of Zermatt in your own set of wheels before you know it.
What happens if I need to cancel my Zermatt car reservation?
No need to worry. You should be eligible for a full refund if you let us know at least six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals result in a refund though, so you may want to check your rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Zermatt?
Crowded city streets and tight parking spaces are no bother for an economy car --- the most popular rental type in Zermatt. Get behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Zermatt can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Zermatt?
Zermatt is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the surrounding area. Here are some ideas:

  • Head off to Basel for an excellent sightseeing experience. About 177 kilometres from Zermatt, it's home to tons of amazing attractions like Basel Zoo.
  • Approximately 105 kilometres away, Lausanne is also a favourite with wanderers. Set aside time to get to Olympic Museum while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.
  • Find your way to Hard Beach to rediscover nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Zermatt, it's 225 kilometres away.

Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Zermatt?
You'll generally require a driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between suppliers, so remember to check before booking.
