Why rent from a person, not a counter

Cheaper

No branch rent, no booking fees. Owners set fair prices to keep their car busy, and weekly rates come down further.

Flexible

Same-day, late-evening and weekend handovers that rental desks don't do. Just ask.

Close to you

Cars parked in Zürich neighbourhoods, a short walk or tram ride away instead of at the airport.

Straightforward

You talk to the person who owns the car: clear terms, no small print at a counter.

Chat on WhatsApp

Car rental in Zürich, made cheap

Renting a car in Zürich from a big agency often means airport surcharges, extra-driver fees and a counter queue. Renting from a private owner skips most of that: you pay a daily price, agree on the details in a chat, and pick the car up around the corner.

What to compare

  • Price per day and per week: weekly prices are often much lower than seven single days.
  • Kilometres included: a trip to the mountains and back can easily be 250 km.
  • Deposit: refundable, but plan for it.
  • Pickup area: a car near your tram stop saves time.

Good to know

Swiss motorways need a vignette; many owners include it. In blue parking zones you need a parking disc. Always check the car together at pickup and take a few photos.

Questions renters ask

How do I rent a car on zuerich.rent?

Pick a car, tap "Rent on WhatsApp" and send the owner your dates. Agree on the pickup time and place, show your driving licence and ID at the handover, and pay the owner directly.

Is zuerich.rent a rental company?

No. zuerich.rent is a listing platform that connects you with private car owners. We do not take bookings or payments; the rental agreement is between you and the owner.

How much does it cost?

Each car shows its price per day, the kilometres included, the price per extra kilometre and the deposit. Many owners offer cheaper weekly and monthly prices. zuerich.rent charges renters no booking fees.

What do I need to rent a car?

A driving licence that is valid in Switzerland for that vehicle, an ID or passport, and the refundable deposit. Some owners set a minimum age or years of driving experience; it is shown on the car page.

How flexible are pickup and return?

You agree times directly with the owner, so early mornings, evenings, weekends and same-day rentals are often possible. Many owners also rent by the week or month.

How do I pay?

You pay the owner directly, usually by TWINT, cash or bank transfer. The accepted methods are listed on each car page.
