With cheap car rentals in Montreux, take your itinerary into consideration before booking your vehicle as the terrain is so vastly different within itself. If hills and mountains are your thing, then while the power of a 4x4 may seem enticing, the chances are the roads will be too narrow to comfortably see you passing other cars. A good economy or Sedan is great for the region and will serve you well on the motorways as you travel between towns.

Note that pedestrians always have right of way when at a pedestrian crossing, which is why 50 km is recommended for inner city driving in Montreux. Cars will stop for pedestrians even when they are merely approaching a zebra crossing, meaning if you are speeding, you may end up rear-ending someone. When you venture out to main roads you can put your foot down a bit to 60 km on main roads, 80 km on connector roads and 90 km on highways. The fastest you can drive is 100 km on the expressway.

Parking is notoriously scarce on the streets in Montreux. It is even suggested that if you have a hotel you should only use cars when exploring beyond the urban centre of the resort as you will land up walking so far anyway. You will find a bunch of car parks all quite close to each other on the lakefront such as Parking Montreux Market, Parking du Parc Donner and Parking de la Gare, but these may even belong to private companies or buildings. Nonetheless, if you pay the fee it should be fine to park your Montreux car rental here.
