Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Switzerland may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Car seat rules vary from one place to another, and the correct setup may depend on their age, height and weight. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Bülach car hire reservation.

  • You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: a current driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in Switzerland.

  • Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • In Switzerland, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to drink, pass the keys to someone else or take another form of transport.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • You'll be using the Swiss franc (CHF) here. Along with your bank cards, consider taking some cash for minor purchases.
