 Poster: A snowHead

Any recommendations for reputable car hire companies at Zurich airport?
Convenience & clear pricing (trying to avoid random charges for 'damage') more important than price. We don't hire cars very often, so not sure if the dodgy practices are still a thing (or if they ever were in CH).

However you go, it's worth looking at a separate insurance for excess charges. For example insurance4carhire.co.uk

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Take out a separate car excess insurance policy. Don’t take the hire company’s

Big +1 for insurance4carhire - I scraped an alloy, got charged c£600. Emailed the damage report, the hire agreement and my credit card statement off to them - money in my account within 24hrs. And my next year’s premium stayed the same at about £35.

I often purchase car hire excess insurance, but never had to claim and have wondered what would happen if I did, so good to hear of a reliable provider

I've claimed successfully from insurance4carhire (puncture - on dark road on the quiet side of Lake Annecy.....). And there are other positive reports here on Snowheads too.

I always use Enterprise from Zurich airport, and I always buy their (overpriced) excess insurance. That said, it's usually only for 2-3 days so buying annual insurance probably isn't worth it for me.
Enterprise are apparently the 'least worst' at charging customers for spurious damage. They also don't charge crossborder fees, which probably isn't relevant from Zurich but is a good sign nonetheless.
