Car hire over the holidays

Holidays are the most wonderful time of the year.

For the perfect vacation with a rental car, we recommend booking a vehicle well in advance of your trip. Most car rental companies in Switzerland are fully booked during the summer months, especially when it comes to special vehicle requirements. During the main holiday season, most cantons have school holidays, leading to exceptionally high demand. Finding a vehicle at the last minute is unlikely.

There’s nothing more enjoyable than traveling. For the perfect car rental vacation, we advise you to book your car in advance at www.seelandmobility.ch. This way, you can enjoy your vacation from the very beginning.

Renting a car is particularly popular during the summer holidays. Enjoy a stress-free vacation with your own rental car, offering you the flexibility you need during your journey. Many beaches and attractions are more accessible by car, and you benefit from ample luggage space for suitcases, handbags, and belongings, allowing you to reach remote mountain villages and hidden beaches and stay as long as you like.

With us, you can even book a rental car for your vacation months in advance. By reserving in Switzerland, you can ensure that your desired vehicle is available and ready for you. Plus, you won’t have to deal with language issues in other countries, as you can rely on Seeland Mobility car rental with great conditions and offers. Even if you’re traveling outside of Switzerland, we’re always here for you.

What to consider:

Compare individual websites, not comparison portals. Not all rental providers have stable prices. Moreover, many comparison portals are not neutral, as they highlight offers that yield higher commissions or booking fees. Try contacting local providers, as they are often more affordable and straightforward. With us, prices are always stable. The easiest and often cheapest way to get a rental car for your vacation is to book online. If you’re traveling during the classic holiday months of July to August, it’s advisable to reserve a vehicle well in advance, as the closer the trip gets, the smaller the selection becomes, and it often affects the price. Those who decide to rent a car at the airport at the last minute should expect fewer choices, higher prices, or even cancellations.

Watch out for mileage limits:
The price is usually calculated based on vehicle categories and rental duration. Some contracts or trips abroad have mileage limits, and exceeding them may result in an additional fee. If you’re unsure about the required mileage, it’s recommended to opt for a contract without mileage restrictions. Also, pay attention to our excess mileage charges, such as 0.30 Swiss francs per kilometer. Most of our vehicles have unlimited kilometers in Switzerland.

Additional Drivers:
Savings can also be made if only one person is registered as the driver – additional drivers often come with an extra cost. Keep in mind that most car rental agencies have an age limit of 25 years. Some allow 18-year-olds to drive for an additional fee. With us, there’s no extra charge.

Avoid Unnecessary Extras:
Additional extras can be quite expensive. If you want to save money on a paid navigation system, use your smartphone as a GPS – provided you can use foreign networks without roaming charges or use a navigation system that works without roaming.

If you need a child seat, it’s best to bring one from home. Child seats not suitable for airplane transport must be ordered from a car rental company. This should definitely be done when booking in advance.

Check Contract Terms:
Once all parameters of the vehicle rental are defined, the total price including all insurance and fees should be displayed at the end of the booking. With us, for example, there are no additional or hidden costs. You only pay what’s on the contract. Check with the provider, as additional costs may be incurred on-site if you don’t. Online reservations typically provide a fixed price, and the contract itself is concluded on-site. If you want to be on the safe side, read the terms and conditions.

Pay Attention to Full Coverage Insurance:
Car rental providers often offer additional insurance and vehicle upgrades that can unnecessarily increase costs. Look for providers that offer comprehensive coverage. With regional providers like Seeland Mobility, all vehicles are typically fully insured. Full coverage insurance covers self-inflicted damages and vehicle theft. Whether to take out additional insurance without a deductible is a personal decision.

On Time:
Ideally, the rental car should be returned during the rental company’s business hours so that the staff can document the return.

We offer a wide range of rental cars for every budget and need.
