KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bern

  • Car rentals in Bern provide you with the flexibility to discover the city and its surroundings on your own schedule. With a rental car, you can conveniently visit popular attractions such as Old Town, Rosengarten, Bear Park (BärenPark), and Gurten at your leisure. Having a car allows you to maximize your time by efficiently exploring multiple destinations within a shorter timeframe, without being constrained by public transportation schedules or relying solely on taxis or rideshare services.
  • Bern Airport (BRN) offers a convenient option for Bern car rentals. The renowned rental car company SIXT operates at this airport, providing a reliable and accessible service. You will find a dedicated service desk for SIXT conveniently located near the baggage claim area in the arrival hall. This ensures a streamlined process for completing the necessary paperwork upon your arrival. Once the rental process is finalized, you can easily locate the rental cars parked just outside the terminal in the designated parking lots. Renting a car from Bern Airport enables you to quickly embark on your exploration of Bern and its surrounding areas.
  • Pedestrians in Bern have priority at designated crosswalks. Always yield to pedestrians when they intend to cross the road and exercise caution. Bern has an extensive tram and train network. Be aware of tracks and exercise caution when driving near tram lines to avoid accidents. Roundabouts are common in Switzerland, including in Bern. Familiarize yourself with roundabout rules and give way to traffic already inside the roundabout.
  • Weekday mornings, typically between 7:30 am and 9:00 am, may experience increased traffic for car rentals in Bern as people commute to work and school. The city center and major routes such as A12 (Autobahn 12), Belpstrasse, and Wankdorffeldstrasse may be busier during this time. On weekday afternoons, usually between 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm, you may encounter heavier traffic as people head home from work. Areas around commercial centers, business districts, and popular lunch spots may experience increased traffic during lunch hours, generally between 12:00 pm and 1:30 pm.

  • What is a good choice for a rental car type in Bern?

    Compact car rentals in Bern are suitable for individuals or couples traveling with light luggage. They are fuel-efficient, easy to maneuver through the city's narrow streets, and typically more budget-friendly. If you require a bit more space and comfort, a mid-size car could be a good choice. If you plan to explore the surrounding areas or venture into the Swiss Alps, renting an SUV provides more storage space and better handling on mountainous roads. If you're looking for added comfort and style, renting a luxury or premium car can enhance your driving experience in Bern. These vehicles typically offer advanced features, more spacious interiors, and higher-end amenities.

  • What are the speed limits in the Bern area?

    In built-up areas, the default speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph). However, be attentive to local speed limit signs, as some streets may have lower speed limits posted. Outside built-up areas, the speed limit is typically 80 km/h (50 mph). On expressways and motorways, the speed limit is generally 120 km/h (75 mph). However, keep an eye out for variable speed limits displayed on electronic signs, which may reduce the speed limit during certain times or conditions.

  • Where are some good places to park in Bern?

    There are plenty of large parking lots in the city that can make great choices. The Rathaus P3 lot offers about 2h of parking for around 7.20 CHF (8.35 USD). For a somewhat cheaper option, choose the Klosterlistutz lot, which charges about 4.40 CHF (5 USD) for two hours of parking. To park on the street will generally cost you about 9 CHF (10 USD) for 4 hours.
