You'll find a good variety of rental outlets within a short commute of Zurich Airport (ZRH). Avis, Budget, Europcar, Sixt and Hertz are among the best.
What happens if I need to cancel my Root car reservation?
You should qualify for a full refund on your prepaid booking if you advise us at least six hours prior to the collection time. Read through the rental policy for the finer details. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
Where can I go on a road trip from Root?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Root with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from top brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Root car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Root?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and above can rent a car in Root. While some companies may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, they will add on fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the associated cost, before reserving your ride. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Root?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Root?
In Root and around Switzerland, motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, you'll need to be mindful of any different driving rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Root?
$158 and $171 were the cheapest daily prices for rental cars in Root within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Root?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then secure your ideal ride. Whether you're stopping in Root or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Root car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you're under 25 years in Root often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not have any extra fees for this age bracket. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to avoid any surprise charges at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Root?
After perfectly planning your escape, don't skimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your Root rental car with Expedia. There are lots of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24/7 emergency help, you'll be able to breathe a little easier if you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Root with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Switzerland, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
