Why west Zurich is the practical pickup

When the drive matters more than the address, Altstetten is usually the better start. It sits on the western edge, where the city hands over to the motorway network.

  • Straight onto the A1 and A3

    Bern, Basel and Lucerne all begin here. No crossing the old town and no lake road first.

  • On the main line, not off it

    Altstetten is a main-line station, so getting to the car from anywhere in the city takes minutes.

  • Easier to load

    Street parking rather than a garage ramp, which matters when the load is skis, a bike or a small move.

Good for

  • Weekend trips west and south, where the first hour is motorway anyway.

  • A move or a bulky pickup that a car in the old town would make awkward.

  • An early start, when the centre is the slowest way out of Zurich.

Renting in Altstetten

In 8048, around Bändliweg and the Vulkanstrasse hub, about 10 minutes' walk from Altstetten station. The exact spot arrives with your booking.

The price is the car, not the postcode. What changes is the drive: from Altstetten you reach the A1 and A3 without crossing the city first.

Foreign travel has to be switched on for the booking. Ask before you set off and we will tell you whether the car you picked can cross.

Your phone opens it, from the app or from a browser. Everything you need for pickup comes with your booking.

Long rentals are normal here and the daily rate falls as the rental gets longer. This is a rental and not a subscription, so nothing renews once you hand the car back.

By train, 18 to 27 minutes from Altstetten station to the airport, usually with one change (SBB timetable). The cars stand about 10 minutes' walk from the station, around the Vulkanstrasse hub.

Flying into Zurich? We'll bring the car to you there too. Car rental at Zurich Airport

Booked in 2 minutes, on the road in 5.

Booked in 2 minutes, right in your browser. No app needed.
