KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lausanne

  • The advantage of renting a car when visiting Lausanne is that you will be free to visit Lausanne and its surroundings without any limitations. You can now visit the major historical site in Lausanne, such as The Olympic Museum, Lausanne Cathedral, Collection de I’ Art Brut, and Musee de I’Elysee. Lausanne Cathedral is 500 miles from the city, and using Lausanne car rentals will be advantageous for you.
  • For visitors flying in Lausanne, you will most probably be using Geneva International Airport (LSGG). You can now rent your car right at the airport or rent it online, then pick it up when you arrive. You will find cheap car rentals in Lausanne located at the airport terminal 1. They have a desk opposite the luggage claim area. Other companies such as Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar, and Sixt are available. The companies that do not have a desk at the airport offer shuttle services to the pickup location. Sometimes, it can be a free ride depending on the company. Other times, it is at a fee; ensure you confirm with the agency.
  • You will have to be careful when driving downtown, for most of the streets downtown are one-way streets. Hence, the turning point always changes. You can customize your car rental in Lausanne with GPS system navigation to make driving down there smooth. You also need to be careful when driving at night and in the city to avoid hitting pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Driving in Lausanne during rush hours can be challenging. In the morning the rush hour start from 8 am to 9 am and in the evening from 5 pm to 6 pm. The traffic only affects specific roads. For instance, driving to the city can be very difficult because all commuters, services buses, and other cars are heading in the same direction. Driving near schools during morning drop-off and evening pick-up is not a good idea since this is the time when students are not in their classes; hence there is a lot of congestion outside the school.

Sixt is simply the best in Switzerland, the team in Lausanne is amazing and truly helpful. I would highly suggest using Sixt and No other rental Agency. They have the nicest cars, great staff, and by far the best prices. Without question Sixt is setting a standard other rent a car companies should follow.

We could not arrive on time before the agency closing hour. We tried to call the customer service to let them know and that we would come the next Day to pick up the car. The telephone number was not attributed so no chance to get anyone on the Phone. The next Day we showed up to the agency only to find out the car was no longer avalaible and our booking non refundable. Terrible terrible customer experience... We had to book another car and lost around 110 CHF over this crazy stupid process.
