Legal changes for rental cars in Switzerland

The new rule applies only to customers with residence in the EU, no matter what nationality they are.

The European Commission has decided on an important change which relates to rental cars in Switzerland. The new rule applies to customers with residence in the EU, no matter what nationality they are.

  • If a customer wishes to use the rental car in Switzerland only, there is no change.
  • However if the customer wishes to drive cross border from Switzerland and/or wishes to return the vehicle outside Switzerland to a country other than that of his residence, then this will only be possible with a car with an EU license.

To ensure customers get the right car for their travel requirements, please inform our travel consultants of your itinerary at the moment of reservation, when you need a rental car in Switzerland.
