Driving Tips for Switzerland
Secure a SIXT car rental in Switzerland and experience all the country has to offer on your own terms. To make your trip as wonderful as possible, keep the following in mind:
- Traffic jams: As you approach congested traffic, turn on your hazard lights. Also, never try to circumvent traffic by entering the mandatory rescue lane –it is dangerous and doing so may result in a fine.
- Headlights: If the engine of your Switzerland rental car is on, the headlights should be on, too. Day and night, you must have the headlights on while you are driving
- Drive on the right: Just like in America, in Switzerland, you drive on the right side of the road
- Getting gas: Paying for petrol at the pump is rare in Switzerland – you will probably have to pay inside
Knowing the Swiss rules of the road will make for a smoother ride.
Best places to visit in and around Switzerland
Switzerland is yours to explore – your way - in a SIXT rental car:
- Jungfraujoch:. An Alpine wonderland, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is located between two mountains. You can drive your rental car to the station at Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, or Interlaken and park there. Then, a short train ride will take you to the top of the world!
- Quintessentially Swiss Lucerne: From the central lake to the majestic mountains, from the quaint medieval houses to the iconic rock sculptures, Lucerne is an ideal snapshot of Switzerland. In a rental car in Swizerland, you can explore it all on your own schedule.
- Trümmelbach Falls and Staubbach Falls: Situated in Lauterbrunnen Valley amidst over 50 other waterfalls, these falls are sites worthy of your bucket list. Driving around the valley, you can see wonder after natural wonder. Begin your adventure with a worry-free SIXT car rental in Switzerland!

Good to know when renting in Switzerland
The minimum age for a SIXT rental in Switzerland is 20, with a driver’s license held for at least 1 year. Some car categories have a higher minimum age, and an underage driver fee applies to those under 25.
We offer add-ons like winter tires, snow chains and ski racks (only for some car categories). If you plan to hit the slopes or go into the mountains in the winter, be sure to add these extras.
We accept all credit and debit cards from internationally recognized companies like Visa and MasterCard.
You can take your SIXT rental into other European countries. However, please make sure that the car category you rented can travel into the countries you wish to go to. An additional fee may apply for cross-border travel.
One-way rentals are possible with prior approval. Please check with the rental station before booking.
You will need a valid driver’s license, plus an ID card or passport. If your license is in a non-Roman alphabet like Arabic or Cyrillic, you also need an international driving permit.
