Switzerland Car Rentals

Driver's License Requirements in Switzerland

All licenses issued in the European Union are accepted.


Driver's licences from non-EU countries (except Switzerland) are accepted if you have a visa in your passport and at the time of rental have not been in Europe for longer than 6 months. If your domestic driving licence is printed with non Roman Alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc), an International Driving Permit (IDP/IDL) or an official translation in English is required together with your driver's license when you drive in Switzerland.


To drive in Switzerland, the driver must present a valid national driver's license that has been held for at least 1 or 2 years (according to different car rental company). The minimum age to drive in Italy is 20 years old (age may vary by car category).


*Attention! Some car rental companies would have different requirements. Please check Terms and Conditions during the booking process.

Really happy with the whole rental experience. When we returned the car they only asked if the tank was full, didn’t even inspect the vehicle and we were good to go. The entire trip went smoothly from start to finish.

My connecting flight was delayed and I arrived over 3 hours past my scheduled pickup time, but they still let me take the car without extra charges or canceling the booking. The staff were really friendly, and they even changed my drop-off location for free when I picked up the car. Overall, it was a really good experience.

Super happy with this rental. I booked a sedan but they upgraded me to a BYD SUV with just over 10,000 km on it, excellent condition and very clean. Pickup and drop-off were super easy, and whenever I had questions, both the front desk and the platform responded quickly and helped right away. Really satisfied and I’ll definitely come back next time.

The car was great. It was a diesel, and once we removed the trunk cover, we could easily fit four suitcases in the back, including one boxy hard-case.

I mentioned in advance that I’d need a bigger trunk for luggage, so they proactively upgraded me to a 2008 and even had the keys ready. When I was doing the paperwork they kindly reminded me about the insurance, and everything was sorted quickly.

The front desk staff were really warm and welcoming. The car was in great condition with only 12,000 km on it, and it was a fully loaded hybrid, super fuel-efficient. All the luggage for our family of three fit in easily. The smart driver-assist features made driving on the highway feel much safer. I’ll definitely go with QEEQ again next time.

Frequently asked questions

Q1.What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage(under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft(under Theft Protection) of the vehicle.
Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

Q2. How can I add an addtional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental.
Please note that the same licence and age requirement applys to the additonal driver. The addtional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

Q3.What if I want to pick up or drop off my rental car out of office hours?

QEEQ will show you the car offers available at your chosen time on the search results.
However, pick-up or drop-off out of general opening hours may subject to an extra fee unless self-service pick-up or drop-off is available.
After you reserve a car on QEEQ, we will inform you of specific policy of the car hire company by email.

Q4. Can I take the hired car to another country or cross border?

If you want to pick up your car in one country and drop it in another, your search results will show you cars you can do that with.
If you're planning to cross any borders during your trip, bear in mind:
1. You may have to pay more.
There are often extra fees, taxes or additional cover you'll pay at the car hire counter.
2.It may not be allowed.
Depending on where you're hiring, you may not be able to take your car to another country.
Please email us if you want to take your hire car into a different country during your trip, and we'll talk you through your options.

Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?

Yes. You can pick up the vehicle in one place and drop it off in another. An ‘one-way fee’ will incur. Whether it is inclued in the rental price or what additional cost may arise will be clearly stated at the time of booking on QEEQ.
Please inform the car hire company of your drop-off location when you pick up the vehicle or contact them directly during your trip. You will find a phone number on the rental agreement you signed at pickup.
