Car Hire Switzerland

Switzerland is a land of stunning scenery, imposing mountains and beautiful cities. Budget's car hire services are the ideal way to travel around and see this marvellous country whether travelling in summer or winter. Budget car hire services are perfect no matter what time of the year you are travelling. In the summer we can supply you with a comfortable tourer that will eat up those mountain roads whilst in the winter the provisions for snow chains ensures your journey will be completed safely. Switzerland has a large corporate presence with many multinationals choosing to house their headquarters in the country. Business travellers should be aware of the special deals available to corporate customers. The CorpRate and FastBreak programmes are ideal for high volume users, offering great rates and a swift transition to the hire car. Whilst the roads of Switzerland are excellently signposted, the use of Budget GPS satellite navigation hire can be extremely helpful, ensuring navigational confidence.

Car Rental Switzerland

When using our car rental services in Switzerland it is important to understand the local rules of the road. Speed limits are 100-120 kph (62-74 mph) on expressways, 80 kph (50 mph) on regular roads and 50 kph (30 mph) in built up areas. It is important to follow these speed limits as Swiss authorities use radar triggered speed cameras located on the side of the road. Once these rules are understood it is time to leave the car rental location and see some of the spectacular 'mountain-scapes', the Alps being a dominant feature in nearly all parts of Switzerland. As well as exquisite scenic splendour it is hard not to notice the delightful chateaus and castles that give the country a fairytale feel. The chateau de Grandson is a prime example of the medieval architecture in this part of Europe with high walls and conical towers. The site should also interest history buffs as it was the location of the Battle of Grandson, an event which saw the Burgundian forces of Charles the Bold defeated by Swiss regulars. Nearby to Geneva is the quaint Gruyere Castle, a hilltop fortress that gives visitors the chance to learn about five centuries of Swiss history. Car rental will help all visitors to gain freedom of travel to see the plethora of sights and sounds that Switzerland has to offer.
