You can acquire a compact car rental in Lausanne. The compact car is easy to drive in the crowded streets if you stay in the city. Finding a parking lot for a small car like that is not so hard you can easily squeeze it somewhere. You can also opt for SUVs. These cars are usually very spacious and can accommodate many people plus luggage. Moreover, if you like to explore outside the city, you can opt for a four-wheel vehicle; it will come in handy.
The general speed limit in Laussane is 80km/h. However, if you drive around schools, businesses, and residential areas, the speed limit should be 50 km/h. Driving at night in Lausanne, your speed limit should be 30 km/h. Further, you can drive at a speed of 80 km/h on a highway. They have speed cameras that take pictures of hard-headed drivers who don’t want to comply with the speed limit rules. Speeding is not a violation of the traffic rules but a legal offense punishable by the law, and you should be careful.
Finding a parking space for your Lausanne car rental isn’t difficult. First, it is important for you to book a hotel that offers parking spaces for their guests. You can also consider parking at the Municipal council car parking lots all over the city, which is for your peace of mind and the safety of your car. LSGG airport is also perfect for parking your car, offering clients long-term and short-term parking. Additionally, you can use the parking meters, garage parking, and street parking. Street parking, however, is not safe and is time-limiting since you can only park for a maximum of 2 hours, and it costs $2 per hour.

A "leave the key and go" drop-off service, instead of queueing also with customers that were picking up the car.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
Nice price for what you get and easy going of reservation etc.Cons:
Too small remarks: Reserved the car Saturday evening for pick up at Rue du Simplon. Went there but nobody was there yet and in the emd had to go to Place du Tunnel to get the car. Overloaded parking lot for drop off, leaves you feel a little bit uneasy to park the car there.9.6 Wonderful

Cons:
the surprise 50chf for mandatory insurance upon arrival was not appreciated. Your competitors list this up front and although your method got us to rent from you this time, this experience has left us with no desire to use Hertz in the future. Transparency is a virtue which is respected on the consumer side but obviously used for financial gains on yours10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Ease of booking. Great carCons:
We were unable to get a satisfactory answer at the time of car pick up as to whether the rental included third party insurance. We declined fire, theft insurance because our Visa card supplied that. When we asked about third party we were told everybody's private insurance covers that and we did not need it. When we looked on our receipt it stated that we were offered third party insurance and declined it (we did not). When we looked on the insurance form in the glove compartment it says third party insurance is covered. On the Sixt website, it says that third party insurance is included. On car rental sites in Switzerland it says that third party insurance is mandatory. I'm glad we weren't in an accident and had to find out whether we were covered or not.9.6 Wonderful
