How do I find the best car rental deals in Lugano with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare fees, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Lugano car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lugano?
Usually, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Lugano. It's important to note that most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Lugano?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between providers, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Lugano?
If you don't have much experience driving abroad, you may be glad to know that you'll be sticking to the right in Lugano. Traffic conditions will be different though, so drive accordingly.

Where can I find a Lugano car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Lugano providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Lugano?
For a secure, stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also offers 24/7 emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Lugano vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Lugano with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Switzerland, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
