- 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.

Other times, it is at a fee; ensure you confirm with the agency.

- 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.
