What the daily rate covers, and what it does not

Swiss rental prices are usually quoted before the counter adds anything to them. Here is the whole list for a DRAIV rental, so you can hold it against a quote from anyone else.

In the price you see

  • Damage protection with a CHF 5'000 deductible, which you can lower to CHF 2'000 or CHF 200 while booking.
  • Swiss VAT and the service fee. The total is shown before you pay, not after you return.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
  • A kilometre allowance stated next to each car. Some cars are unlimited, others carry a daily package.

Charged separately

  • Fuel. You bring the car back at the level you took it at. On the electric car in the fleet, charging is included.
  • Extra kilometres beyond that car's allowance, from CHF 0.50 each.
  • Parking, tolls and any fine you collect while the car is yours.

No deposit. Nothing is held on your card while you drive.

Three places to pick the car up

The fleet is ours and it lives in Zurich, so pickup is a street a few minutes from where you already are, not a counter at the edge of town.

  • Zurich HB, 8006

    Stampfenbach and Sumatrastrasse, 10 to 15 minutes' walk north of the main station. The densest part of the fleet.

    See the cars there
  • Oerlikon, 8050

    North Zurich, beside the trade fair and the Hallenstadion, and about ten minutes from the airport by train.

    See the cars there
  • Altstetten, 8048

    West Zurich, the side you want when the drive starts on the A1 or A3 towards Bern, Basel or Lucerne.

Renting in Zurich, answered

Yes. You need a valid licence you have held for at least a year, and you must be at least 21. If your licence is not written in the Latin alphabet, bring an official translation or an International Driving Permit with it. We check the licence and your ID once, in the app, and it usually takes a few minutes.

No. Nothing is blocked while you drive. You pay for the rental itself, and anything that arrives later, such as a fine forwarded by the authorities, is billed separately.

Nothing changes. The cars are self-service and the unlock runs through your phone, so there is no desk that shuts at 18:00 and nobody to wait for. Pickups and returns work at any hour, every day of the year.

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

You can book for the next hour when a car is free, and the live list on this page is the real availability. First-time renters should leave a little room for the one-off licence check.

Real people, seven days a week from 07:00 to midnight, on WhatsApp, by phone or by email. The number and the address sit in the footer of every page.

Booked in 2 minutes, on the road in 5.

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