HERTZ Rental Cars at Zurich Airport

Zurich Airport is located approximately 12 km, or 7 miles to the north of Zurich, and is the largest airport gateway in Switzerland. Over 31 million passengers make use of this airport every year, and it is a hub for a couple of airline companies, such as Edelweiss Air and Swiss International Air Lines. Another name for the airport is Kloten Airport, and it has the official airport code of ZRH. Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland, and the country’s main business and financial center, therefore, among many tourists arriving at the airport, a number of the passengers are business clients as well. Passengers who wish to rent a car at Zurich Airport will find several car hire companies available, for example, Hertz. Hertz offers their customers a wide range of car rental services, and is one of the largest providers of vehicles to hire in the world.

At Zurich Airport, passengers will find the car hire center to be located on the first floor of the parking building, in the P3 parking area. Additional transport for reaching Hertz will therefore not be necessary. The rented cars are also parked nearby. Hertz, at Zurich Airport, is open from 06:30 to 23:30 for rentals, collections and returns. However, perhaps one of the best and most convenient ways to hire a vehicle is online, from Hertz’s website at www.hertz.com. The website is also a good source of information regarding Hertz’s rental terms and conditions, and the vehicles available at Zurich Airport. Customers will easily be able to find their ideal car, as well as hire anything extra needed for their journey in Switzerland.

At this Hertz rental location, child seats and the Hertz NeverLost In-Car Satellite Navigation system can be a part of your rental, and customers who belong to the Hertz #1 Club Gold can enjoy priority Gold Counter Service. Since that many passengers are arriving at Zurich Airport to enjoy winter sporting activities, ski equipped vehicles are also available. Equipment rented from Hertz will cost a bit extra per day of rental, and should be booked as early as possible. These items are subject to availability, and therefore Hertz cannot guarantee the equipment for your rental unless it has been booked. Zurich Airport is also a busy location, and it is recommended for passengers to reserve their vehicles in advance as well. Certain car hire companies even offer better rates for booking online, or for requesting a vehicle a few weeks in advance.

Customers who belong to the Hertz #1 Club Gold are only frequent renters (those who have rented three or more times in any twelve month period), and enjoy a wide range of exclusive benefits from Hertz. However, all customers are able to join the Hertz #1 Club, and have access to quicker and more prioritized service as well. It is a free membership, which allows customers to use the Hertz Express service and the Hertz Instant Return service, and members will receive first option to all new Hertz promotions and money saving opportunities. More frequent renters will be invited to join the Hertz #1 Club Gold, and enjoy a greater variety of discounts and services.

At Zurich Airport, one way car hire may be possible, as well as the rental of hand controls for disabled drivers. One way rentals are convenient for passengers who will not be returning to Zurich Airport, as the vehicle can be dropped off at another Hertz rental location in Switzerland, or even in another country. However, additional costs may be applicable to rentals that are returned to another city or country. Customers should also first confirm with Hertz in which countries the rented car may be driven. Hand controls offered by Hertz should be requested at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival at Zurich Airport, and are ideal for drivers with a lower limb deficiency, as they operate the brake and accelerator pedals of an automatic vehicle. Hand controls may come with a steering wheel knob as well, to assist the driver with handling the vehicle. Although one way car hire may incur additional costs, hand controls are usually offered free of charge.

Hertz is the largest provider of car rental services in the world, with over 8,000 rental locations. They also offer a unique range of vehicles that can be more specifically reserved, by make and model, rather than just by car category. At Zurich Airport, there are three collections with vehicles that can be reserved in this way, namely, the Green Collection, Fun Collection and Prestige Collection. The Fun Collection contains vehicles that are environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, and includes the Ford Ka, Fiat Panda (Kamoo), Ford Focus D SW, Toyota Prius Hybrid and the Volvo C30. The Ford Ka is the smallest of the collection, while the Ford Focus station wagon is ideal for families. Vehicles in the Fun Collection include the Smart Cabrio, Mercedes GLK, Volvo C70 T5 and Volvo XC60 4x4. Some of these vehicles include a GPS unit in their rentals. Prestige Collection vehicles are ideal for those in need of a more elegant vehicle, for example, the Mercedes S-Class or Mercedes ML 4x4.

More ordinary rentals from Hertz include the Fiat Panda, Ford Fiesta, Toyota Auris, Toyota Corolla Verso and Ford Focus, while families in need of more luggage space can hire an estate vehicle as well. The larger vehicles available at Zurich Airport include the Ford New Galaxy, with room for up to seven people, and the Mercedes Vito, a large van seating nine passengers.
