If you don't have a driver's license issued in Switzerland, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
