KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lucerne
- Booking car hire in Lucerne, Switzerland, gives you the freedom to explore the city considered the heart of Switzerland on your own terms. The city does have a good bus, train and tram system, but letting public transport schedules dictate your adventure? No, thanks. Head to a remote location like the ice heights of Jungfraujoch or take a day trip directly to Bern, only about 1h 15min away by hire car, and avoid catching complicated public transport routes that include changes and stops.
- A nearby major airport to Lucerne is Zurich Airport (ZRH). The airport is about a 45-minute drive north of Lucerne. Collecting your car hire in Lucerne directly from the airport is a good way to get your holiday underway as soon as possible. Book your cheap Lucerne car hire in advance to avoid any delays at the airport. Then, collect the keys from the car hire company desks, which are located in the hire centre, on the first floor of the airport shopping zone.
- Driving your car hire in Lucerne is going to be a breeze. As is the case with most Swiss ideas, the road system is particularly planned out and is well maintained. The major thing to keep in mind is that rules of the road are strictly upheld in Lucerne and throughout Switzerland, and speed limits are lower than in other parts of the world. Once you venture out to the mountain roads, please keep in mind that driving on narrow roads means the uphill driver has the priority and the downhill driver must hang back and allow the oncoming driver room to pass.
- The only real struggle you'll face driving your car hire in Lucerne is the weather. Alpine winters often make driving more difficult, especially for less experienced drivers. If you are planning on visiting during the winter months, then your car hire must have winter tyres and snow chains. It's recommended you carry water, snacks and warm clothing in case your car breaks down. It could take an hour or so for the rescue car to arrive, so make sure your wait would be comfortable.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Lucerne?
Wanting to drive a car hire in Lucerne that will be good at maintaining traction in wet winter weather means you'll be comfortable in an SUV or a 4x4. These cars are also great for driving over loose rocks and mud, which can be a result of heavy weather or melting snow. If you are looking at a luxury car hire instead, that's not a problem, but your best bet is to find an automatic with all-wheel drive. These types of cars are suitable for handling extreme weather conditions.
What’s the speed limit in Lucerne?
You'll find driving in Lucerne, and other areas in Switzerland, means slower speed limits than in the rest of the world. When driving on the Autobahn freeway, you can reach the speed of 120 km/h, but that's where the high speed ends. Urban areas generally have a limit of 50 km/h, and rural areas are just 80 km/h. If you find yourself on an expressway, a maximum speed of 100 km/h is required. Hitting these speeds is not recommended during bad weather patches. It's best to slow right down to no more than 20 km/h if the roads are wet or icy.
Where are the best places to park in Lucerne?
Parking your cheap car hire in Lucerne city centre can be a bit tricky, as Lucerne city centre is one of the more busy cities in Switzerland. If the weather is good, it's wise to park just outside the city centre and explore it on foot. With street parking being scarce in the centre of town, you might want to park in one of the parking garages. There are about three in town and the larger and more popular is at the Lucerne railway station. No matter where you decide to park, get ready for it to be charged. There is almost no free parking in Lucerne.

Mar 2018
Pros:
the car that we received was like new, fuel efficient, and fun to drive.Cons:
We were not told upfront what the underage fee (<25yr old) would be. =129.01 SF We were charged for winter tires, in march, even though there wasn't any snow on the road (including up at the ski resorts). =32.41 And we were charged $147.84 for fueling even though we only used half a tank. This seems extremely excessive. In all, the price of our rental more than doubled and we did not find this out until after the trip. None of these excess fees were explained at the time of pick up (the contract was written in german and therefore an employee explained the details of the contract to me). I find this ridiculous, and I will not be using this company in the future.Europcar

Pros:
Fun and zippy little car to roll through the mountains of Switzerland.Cons:
The drop off location in Zurich was nearly impossible to find, even with Google Maps. It ended up being a random parking spot in a six-floor unmarked garage. The employees working there were great, but we drove around and in the building for probably 45 minutes until we found where to drop off the car.Edel & Stark
