  • To score the best price on a Kloten car hire, book in advance. Rates tend to climb as your travel dates approach, and any last-minute deals can vanish like a disappearing act.

  • Check out the offers available with Alamo, Explore Holidays AG and Europcar. They're some of the most well-known providers in the city.

  • Whether you choose Alamo or another supplier, double-check the coverage on your Kloten car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others charge extra for it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a bargain if the provider needs to move its fleet around. Discover the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

  • Upgrade your ride with extras like a reverse camera or navigation unit. They can turn your drive into a smoother experience when you rent a car in Kloten.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by company (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Switzerland may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Kloten car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Regulations change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest way to go.

  • Bring the right documents to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) and a second photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Driving in Switzerland might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 45kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Switzerland is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Swiss franc (CHF) here. Along with your credit and debit cards, consider bringing some cash for smaller purchases.

  • German (Swiss German) is the language you'll hear most often in this country.
