Zurich is often the starting point for a longer trip: a few days in the city for work or shopping, then the Alps, the lakes, or Ticino. The Mercedes V300d 4Matic Extra Long lets you do all this in a single vehicle, without splitting the group between two cars and without leaving your luggage behind.
The van offers space for a group or family with lots of luggage, and the interior is designed for comfort even during hours of travel. This makes it a popular choice for families with children, groups of friends, and small business delegations traveling together from one appointment to another.
Zurich's city center is compact, crisscrossed by trams and featuring several pedestrian zones around Bahnhofstrasse and the Old Town. With a long vehicle, it's best to avoid the narrow streets of the Old Town and use covered parking lots, checking the height limit posted at the entrance first.
Many customers request delivery directly to their hotel: the van will be ready at the agreed-upon time, without having to look for a place to park. Along the lake, the roads are wider and more pleasant to drive on, and the towns on the shore can be reached in just a few minutes, even during rush hour.
The V-Class is available for rent without a driver, like all our vehicles. It's convenient for days packed with business meetings, when the group travels together from one office to another, or for a trip to the mountains with all their luggage. After an intercontinental flight, however, it's a good idea to rest before getting behind the wheel for a long journey.
The van also handles well on Alpine roads. In the winter months, our vehicles are always equipped with winter tires. Remember that Swiss highways require a vignette: it's electronic and can be purchased online by entering your license plate before entering the highway.
Many group-friendly day trips are within easy reach from Zurich. Lucerne, with its lake and covered wooden bridge, is about an hour's drive away. The Rhine Falls, near Schaffhausen, are less than an hour north and are a favorite with children, who can see them up close from the observation decks.
Mountain lovers can head up to Andermatt , in about an hour and a half, or to Davos , in about two hours. The van has room for skis, boots, and bags, and in the evening the group returns to the city as a whole.
We deliver the V300d wherever you need it: a centrally located hotel, a private residence, a company headquarters, or Zurich Airport, which is located in Kloten, about 10-15 km from the city center. Pickup can also take place at a different location, even in another country. For example, you can start your trip in Zurich and drop off the van in Milan or St. Moritz.
When requesting a quote, please let us know the number of passengers, luggage, and your general itinerary. With this information, we can advise you whether a van is sufficient or whether an SUV is more suitable.
If your group is smaller and you prefer an SUV, the 7-seater Land Rover Defender 110 combines space and all-wheel drive. For nights out on the town, those looking for a more representative car might consider the BMW X7 40d or the Range Rover . You can find the full range on the luxury SUVs page, while the vans are on the luxury vans page.
Can I rent the V300d in Zurich with a driver? No: we rent the V-Class, like all our cars, only without a driver. One of you can drive, for a single trip or for several days.
Do you need a vignette for Swiss motorways? Yes, if you plan to use the motorways: the annual electronic vignette can be purchased online by entering your vehicle's license plate.
Do you need any special documents to drive in Switzerland? Switzerland is not part of the European Union, so it's a good idea to always have your passport, driving license, and vehicle documents handy, especially if you're crossing a border.
Can you drop off the van at Zurich Airport? Yes. We can drop it off at Kloten Airport and pick it up at your hotel at the end of your stay, or vice versa. Just let us know your flight number and arrival time.
Is the van suitable for mountain roads in winter? Yes, and in the cold months, it should always be equipped with winter tires. Before setting off, check the weather forecast and road conditions.
Can I leave the van in another city? Yes, delivery and pickup can take place in different locations, even in different countries. Please indicate your final destination when requesting a quote.
Can the van also take us to a dinner out of town? Yes, the group will travel there and back together in one vehicle: decide before you leave who will drive the way back.
Can we cancel the reservation? Yes, cancellation is free up to 72 hours before delivery. The model is always guaranteed: you'll receive the exact car you booked.
