Zurich is Switzerland's financial and cultural center, with its crystal-clear lake, Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world's most exclusive shopping streets, and an elegant historic center. A luxury car is the best way to travel between the city and the surrounding Alps. Milan Luxury Cars delivers and collects your car directly in Zurich, at your hotel, or at the airport—wherever you prefer in Europe. From Zurich, you can continue in the same luxury car to St. Moritz , the exclusive Alpine resort in the Engadine. Discover all our other destinations in Switzerland.
Zurich is best explored on foot: Bahnhofstrasse, lined with jewelry and watch boutiques, takes you from the station to the lake in about twenty minutes. The old town, on both banks of the Limmat River, is made up of narrow streets and small squares where a car isn't necessary. It's best to leave it in the hotel garage and use it to get out of the city.
Lucerne, with Lake Lucerne and its covered wooden bridge, is about an hour away. The Rhine Falls, near Schaffhausen, are less than an hour to the north. The road along the eastern shore of the lake, known as the "Gold Coast" for its sunshine and villas, is a short and pleasant late afternoon ride. Lake Constance is about an hour away. For a day at altitude without too much driving, Pilatus and Rigi, above Lucerne, can be reached by cable cars and cogwheel trains.
Zurich is Switzerland's leading financial center, and many clients travel there for work. For a day of meetings between the city, Zug, and Basel with colleagues or clients, a van can transport everyone together in one vehicle, and those who don't drive can work during the transfers. For those traveling alone, a sedan like the Audi RS6 or an SUV like the BMW X7 40d are discreet and comfortable.
The Gotthard Base Tunnel takes you to Lugano in about two and a half hours and to Milan in just over three. It's a popular trip for those who combine a week of skiing in Switzerland with a few days on the Italian lakes: you can pick up your car in Zurich and drop it off in Milan, without having to go back.
Can I pick up the car at Zurich Airport and drop it off in Milan? Yes, delivery and pickup can take place in different countries.
Do you need a car in downtown Zurich? No, the city center can be explored on foot and by tram; a car is useful for day trips and for the mountains.
How far is it from Lucerne? About an hour on the highway.
Do you have a van for a day's work? Yes, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class van can be booked for just one day. Like all our vehicles, it can be rented without a driver.
Which ski resort is closest to Zurich? Andermatt is about an hour and a half away, and Davos is about two hours away.
Is the model I book guaranteed? Yes, always: you'll receive the exact car you chose, with no substitutions. And you can cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before delivery.
We deliver and collect our vehicles from Alpine resorts in France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, from hotels, chalets, or at your arrival airport. Choose your destination.
Zurich Airport is about 6 miles (10 km) from the city center and can be reached in a quarter of an hour. It's the most popular delivery point, as most customers arrive by plane and immediately head for the mountains. We also deliver to hotels, private addresses, and the main train station.
Switzerland is not in the European Union : it's a real customs border, even if you cross without systematic checks. Bring your passport or ID along with your driving license.
To use the motorways, you need the Swiss vignette , which is issued annually and does not come in a daily or weekly format: today it is electronic, can be purchased online in a few minutes and remains linked to the vehicle's license plate.
Swiss law does not require winter tires in winter, but those driving with unsuitable tires are responsible for damage and may be fined. Winter tires are the rule, not an option, on the cars we deliver during the cold season.
This is where Zurich really matters. Davos is two hours away, St. Moritz three, Gstaad two and a half hours, Zermatt three and a half hours (leaving your car in Täsch, as the village is car-free), the Arlberg and Lech two hours away, and Liechtenstein one hour. We also deliver and collect your car in all these directions.
For trips to the snow, with luggage, skis, and passengers, a luxury SUV with all-wheel drive is the unquestionable choice. For families, groups, or crews, a luxury van offers plenty of room for everyone and their gear; after a long flight, however, the passes should be tackled calmly and in daylight. In the city and during the warmer months, a sporty city car or compact sedan is more than enough.
The week of the World Economic Forum in Davos in January empties car availability throughout the canton, not just in Davos. Then there's the period between Christmas and Epiphany and the February holidays . If your trip falls during one of these, please contact us well in advance.
Driver's license, passport or ID, and credit card in the driver's name. For non-EU customers, requirements vary from country to country: you can find them in the guide to documents, deposits, and insurance . If your itinerary includes Italy, France, or Austria, please indicate this: vignettes and authorizations vary.
