Drive around this city in one of these and you’ll be able to park in tight spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city adventures or quick road trips.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Zermatt?
Rental car rules in Zermatt require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Most home providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Zermatt?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home outlets, so remember to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Zermatt?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Switzerland — the same side as in the States. Cruising around Zermatt won’t be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Zermatt?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Zermatt, so go ahead and extend your getaway! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Zermatt car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Zermatt often depends on the holiday home supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not have any extra costs for this age range. It’d be wise to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs on pickup.
