I just got back last night and wanted to thank you! Your tips and encouragement made my trip exciting instead of boring. Here’s my perspective on car rentals as someone from the US:
- Get the highest insurance coverage like Supercover. Without it, rental companies will find a way to charge you for something.
- Smaller cars are better.
- The only place I found driving difficult was Geneva. Next time, I'll use the rental for village trips and return it before visiting a major city.
- Plan your stops ahead of time; I used satellite images to find easy/free parking.
- I stuck to the speed limit but got honked at a lot. I’m not sure if it was speeding locals or clueless tourists.

Thanks so much for your guide, just wondering if there's any minimum speed regulation in Switzerland?

To my knowledge it‘s 80 on a highway. Thats the only one I can think of 😊
