Cons:I wish I had been given the Volvo that Thrifty shows in the pictures. The actual car we get is always a much smaller and simpler model, unfortunately. However, the car only had 10km on it, which was a plus.Reviewed Jun 14 2019

Much better than expected!Pros:We had reserved a car through Thrifty many months before and had worried about adequate luggage space as our daughters were joining us for the second week of our trip to Switzerland. Had also researched the waiver/insurance situation for an overseas rental and had some anxiety about it. Both agents were very helpful, flexible and patient while we made the decision ax to model. She offered us a selection which suited us well. She also accepted our coverage on our Cap One VISA, which I had researched thoroughly beforehand.Cons:It was clear that any unrecorded scratched on the car would be a liability for us, so we were careful to use the flashlight on our phones and go over the car carefully when we were in the checkout process. It is very important that you take the time to do this AND Mark die anything you see and take it BACK into the desk fir them to record. I know you are in a hurry to get moving, but this is ESSENTIAL. And research your particular credit card coverage carefully; if it isn’t complete, you may be in a tough situation and might do better paying the waiver. Ask what deductible your coverage is; you want ZERO.Reviewed Oct 29 2017

• Does Thrifty car hire in Zurich cover insurance for the duration of the trip?

  No, the reservation booking doesn't include any form of vehicle insurance for your trip to start with; hence, it is important to purchase insurance online through KAYAK while making your reservation. You can add additional insurance over and above basic vehicle insurance if you feel the like such as a Personal Accident Waiver when you are picking up your car or making a reservation. It is often recommended for travellers to be fully covered for unexpected situations through insurance.

  Public parking on streets or in parking lots in Zurich is considered a bit pricey as it is mostly charged.

These have a 30 minute to 2-hour limit but do offer the best rates. If you'd prefer to park in parking lots, you'll be looking for parking houses which is what they are called in Zurich. City Parkhaus and ParkhausHohe Promenade are popular choices.
