Tips for renting - insurance

Before you book an offer, it should be clarified which insurance coverage you imagine. A distinction in offers is made that include either a Full coverage with deductible or a Full coverage without deductible. With the first, they are liable themselves with the deposit, which is usually as high as the liability amount of the deductible. With a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible, the deposit amount is also retained in the event of damage, but you will be fully refunded. We generally recommend a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible, because this way you can counteract a possible risk of being held liable for damages yourself. Also possible is the conclusion of an insurance to protect glass and tires as well as it is possible a Underground protection or a roof insurance to book.

Deposit for booking a rental car

The amount of the mentioned deposit can always be found in the rental conditions. It serves as protection for the agent. The deposit is usually deposited with a credit card. For this purpose, the amount is blocked on the credit card account for the duration of the rental and released again when the vehicle is returned flawlessly. Remember to fill up the credit card with the appropriate amount early enough before renting the car. If you do not do this and there is not the appropriate deposit amount on the credit card, you will not get the booked rental car.

Traffic rules Switzerland - What do I have to pay attention to?

The traffic laws in Switzerland are really strict and the penalties for traffic violations are high. You can follow the traffic rules quite quickly, as most of them are written on the road signs. Some rules that are not on the signs are: The most important rule is that there is right-hand traffic. If you come to an intersection and you don't find any right of way signs, right rules before left! In the evening or at night you are obliged to drive with dipped headlights, during the day with daylight. On the whole, however, you don’t need to fear any difficulties in switching to swiss traffic rules. One difference in Switzerland is that you must display a valid freeway vignette on the windscreen when using a freeway or expressway. However, the rental car provider should have equipped their vehicles with one anyway. This way, you will only have to pay tolls for individual tunnels or mountain passes on a case-by-case basis. Speed limits differ from those in other countries, especially on highways.

Interurban: 50 km/h
Out of town: 80 km/h
Freeways: 100 km/h
Highways: 120 km/h
