FAQ about Lausanne, Switzerland car hire

What do you need to hire a car in Lausanne, Switzerland?

In order to book a car in Lausanne, Switzerland on our website you need:

  • to be at least 19 (sometimes even 18 is enough) years of age;
  • to pay for your reservation with any type of bank card with enough money.

After you made a reservation on Rental24.co.uk, you need to prepare and bring to the rental desk the following documents:

  • A printed car hire voucher as a proof of your booking at Rental24.co.uk.
  • A full driving licence held for a minimum of 1 year. UK licence holders need to present the photocard.

  • A valid passport or national ID with photo.
  • A credit card (or debit card if accepted by your selected car hire supplier) in the name of the main driver with enough funds to cover a deposit.

How to get cheap car hire in Lausanne, Switzerland?

Reasonable price is what almost every renter wants to get. Read our tips to learn how to hire a car in Lausanne, Switzerland cheaper:

  • Book your vehicle as early as possible. Your car hire may cost less if you book it 7-10 days prior to the journey.
  • Plan to start your trip on a weekday. This will allow you to reduce the daily cost of a vehicle.
  • Travel as long as possible. As a rule, the longer the period of rental, the lower the price of each day. Consequently, the total cost of a 7-day car hire may be lower than what you pay for 5-6 days.
  • Benefit from a small car. Obviously, the smaller the vehicle, the cheaper it is. Plus, you can further save on fuel.
  • Pick up and return the car to the same location. One-way car hire is not considered to be a budget-friendly option, so avoid it if possible.
  • Look for special offers. Discounts and promotions from car hire companies in Lausanne, Switzerland will help to reserve a car up to 20% cheaper.

Which car hire class is the most popular in Lausanne, Switzerland?

Most often, travellers hire Compact cars in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Compact car rate starts from £34 per day. The cheapest vehicle of this size is Opel Astra or similar provided by Budget in Lausanne, Switzerland.

How to get car hire with a free additional driver in Lausanne, Switzerland?

You may have one or several people at once except you who can drive your vehicle. Each additional driver must meet the same requirements as the main driver and have a driverโ€™s licence and a passport.

Usually, the cost of an extra driver is approximately $10 per day in Lausanne, Switzerland, but with our search engine, you can find car hire suppliers that offer additional driver options free of charge.

What insurance do I need to hire a car in Lausanne, Switzerland?

CDW/LDW insurance will protect your car from damage and theft. It has a certain excess limit which shows the amount with which your responsibility begins. This type of insurance is usually included in the price of car hire on our website.

PAI/PEC package is needed to reimburse expenses associated with obtaining medical care by the driver or passengers.

Another must-have protection is SLI. It cancels your liability in case of property damage/personal injury caused to third parties.

All events that are not covered by insurance are usually within a deposit amount. Therefore, you donโ€™t need to worry about anything, but enjoy your trip!

If you want to fully protect your car hire, full insurance is the only way to avoid any further expenses. You can purchase it during pick-up at the rental desk.

What fuel policy to choose in Lausanne, Switzerland?

The type of fuel policy shows how you will refuel your vehicle. If you donโ€™t want to spend time at a petrol station and devote all your free time visiting sights and entertainment venues - choose prepaid fuel.

However, a more preferred option is the โ€œfull-to-fullโ€ (pick up full, return full) option. This means you collect a vehicle with a full tank of fuel, and you must drop it off with the same amount of fuel. Before returning the car in Lausanne, Switzerland, you will need to visit a petrol station to refuel the tank of your rental car.

How to pick up car hire in Lausanne, Switzerland?

A car hire pickup is a very responsible procedure, because any problems on your part may force the company to cancel the deal, which will completely ruin your upcoming trip. To prevent this, follow a few important tips:

  1. Prepare all necessary documents to pick up your car hire in Lausanne, Switzerland.
  2. If you want to have a free additional driver, the same paper set must be provided by each extra driver.
  3. Make sure your credit card expiration date is at least 6 months after the end of your rental period and the credit limit is enough to cover the deposit.
  4. Try not to be late for pickup. If your plane is delayed, notify the rental company.
  5. Carefully study the contract, and if required, specify the details that you donโ€™t understand.
  6. Before you collect your car hire, make sure that the model meets the declared specifications.
  7. Examine the car for scratches. If present, take photos and ask the employee to mention them.
