Question 1

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Zurich?

Accepted Answer

Using a debit card to rent a car in Zurich is sometimes possible, but policies vary by rental company. Many suppliers require a credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, for the deposit and reservation. If you only have a debit card, check with the rental provider beforehand or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car hire options that accept debit cards.

Question 2

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

Can I rent a car in Zurich for a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car for a month in Zurich. Many car hire companies offer long-term car hire options. It’s often more cost-effective to book a monthly car hire rather than several weekly rentals. For the best rates and availability, start a search on VoyageCopilot.com to compare offers and find the most suitable long-term car hire deals.
