KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Interlaken

  • If you hire a car in Interlaken, it offers you great flexibility compared to if you make the same trip using an alternative mode of transport like a taxi, train or bus. This is because you can depart and return at a time that’s suited to you rather than having to rely on public transport. For example, if you want to go to Bern, you can get there in about 45min by car. Alternatively, a train takes around 55min and you’d have to rely on the timetables.
  • Bern Airport (BRN) provides you with a wide range of car hire companies, so you’ll be driving off in no time. The branches are also easy to locate at the airport. For instance, if you are using SIXT, you are offered a meet-and-greet service, where someone will meet you at the SIXT desk in the arrivals hall. You will then fill in the required documents and be taken to your vehicle.
  • When you hire a car in Interlaken, you will find that the resort town gets very busy with tourists and locals. Due to the fact that it’s a busy town, you can expect tourists to cross the road in areas that aren’t designated pedestrian crossings. This is in spite of the jaywalking rules that are in place, so drive with care. There are also lots of cyclists in Switzerland, with Interlaken being no exception. Drive with vigilance and check your mirrors regularly.
  • When you book Interlaken car hire, you will see the town can get very busy, especially during rush hour when locals commute to and from Bern for work. Rush hour is normally from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., so if you don’t want to drive on busy roads, it’s wise to avoid these times. Route number 6 is one road that gets especially busy, as it goes through the centre of the town. Unless you have to, it’s wise to try and avoid this road.
  • Economy rental cars in Interlaken are around 70% cheaper than other car types, on average

Due to this fact it’s recommended to get a small vehicle for your trip, so you are able to drive and park more easily. If you want to go out into the nearby Swiss mountains, then you will want something that’s a bit more robust. For instance, an SUV is a great choice, as it offers 4x4 capabilities for steep terrain and also better handling for winding roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Interlaken?

    When you hire a car in Interlaken, you need to stick to the speed limits; otherwise, you risk accidents and being prosecuted by the local authorities. For example, when in the town itself, you can’t go faster than 30 km/h. On rural roads, the limit is slightly higher at 50 km/h, whereas on highways the upper speed limit is 120 km/h. There are lots of speed cameras in Interlaken, so to ensure you don’t get fined, it’s important you stay within the speed limits.

    There are lots of places where you can park your car in this town. For example, at Interlaken Ost Station, you can park for about Fr 5 (A$ 7.60) for 5 hours. These charges only apply from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with it usually being free thereafter. There are also a lot of parking spaces outside Congress Kursaal Interlaken, which cost around Fr 8 (A$ 12.20) for the day. A 24-hour ticket at this car park costs roughly Fr 12 (A$ 18.30).

Loved how easy it was to get into my rental vehicle with Hertz Interlaken. The gentleman there explained it all very well. Nothing to do with Hertz themselves, but the fuel pump payment method in front of Hertz could have been explained better. Had to insert card and $260AUD is pending coming out of my account when fuel itself was only $15AUD. Can anyone help with this? If I’m ever back I’ll be sure to rent again! Thank you ☺️
