Compact car rentals in Bern are suitable for individuals or couples traveling with light luggage. They are fuel-efficient, easy to maneuver through the city's narrow streets, and typically more budget-friendly. If you require a bit more space and comfort, a mid-size car could be a good choice. If you plan to explore the surrounding areas or venture into the Swiss Alps, renting an SUV provides more storage space and better handling on mountainous roads. If you're looking for added comfort and style, renting a luxury or premium car can enhance your driving experience in Bern. These vehicles typically offer advanced features, more spacious interiors, and higher-end amenities.
In built-up areas, the default speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph). However, be attentive to local speed limit signs, as some streets may have lower speed limits posted. Outside built-up areas, the speed limit is typically 80 km/h (50 mph). On expressways and motorways, the speed limit is generally 120 km/h (75 mph). However, keep an eye out for variable speed limits displayed on electronic signs, which may reduce the speed limit during certain times or conditions.
There are plenty of large parking lots in the city that can make great choices. The Rathaus P3 lot offers about 2h of parking for around 7.20 CHF (8.35 USD). For a somewhat cheaper option, choose the Klosterlistutz lot, which charges about 4.40 CHF (5 USD) for two hours of parking. To park on the street will generally cost you about 9 CHF (10 USD) for 4 hours.

Pros:
Nice car, great location, GPS included.Cons:
It took > 30 minutes to resolve a difference in rate between the Kayak promised price (which I had in an email) and the rental price that was at the Hertz desk in Bern. This should not have been a problem if Kayak's process with Hertz was clear.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Everything went very well and I can not think of anything that would have made the rental better. Pick up was very smooth and a good experience as was the drop off. I would rent with you again.9.2 Wonderful
Sep 2016
Pros:
Friendly, helpful staff. No nonsense. No pressure when I told the agent I had already purchased insurance. There are weird laws about EU citizens driving Swiss cars into the EU -for which I think they may want to charge you more and give you an EU car - but fortunately that didn't apply to me with my US license. I had a horrific, straight up fraud experience renting from Sixt at Ljubiana airport in 2014 and swore I'd never use the company again. Friends in Bern insisted Sixt in Switzerland was good and I tried the company out again. I was glad to see they were right.Cons:
I'd never driven a Renault before and had no opinion about the brand going in. Now, I can say I'd never buy one. The automatic transmission is poorly designed, the shut off switch that stops the engine at traffic lights functioned far from optimally, USB charging was a joke, and the navigation is very slow to load. This is all not Sixt's fault, other than that they chose to buy cars of that brand2 locations in Bern
