Planning a trip to the luxurious Swiss resort town of Saint Moritz? Renting a car at Saint Moritz Airport can be an excellent way to explore the stunning Alpine region at your own pace. Bookingautos is here to help you find the best car rental deals from both international and local companies. Before you book, here's what you should know about renting a car at Saint Moritz Airport:

Location and Accessibility

Saint Moritz Airport, also known as Samedan Airport, is located just 5 kilometers from the town center. While it's a small airport, several car rental companies operate here, making it convenient to pick up your vehicle upon arrival.

Booking in Advance

Due to the airport's size and the high demand during peak seasons, it's highly recommended to book your rental car in advance. This ensures availability and often secures better rates, especially if you're visiting during the busy winter ski season or summer months.

Vehicle Selection

When choosing your rental car, consider the following:

  • Season of travel: In winter, opt for a car with winter tires or all-wheel drive for safer navigation on snowy roads.
  • Size: Compact cars are easier to maneuver on mountain roads, but larger vehicles might be more comfortable for long trips.
  • Fuel efficiency: Consider a fuel-efficient model to save on gas costs, as fuel prices in Switzerland can be high.

Driving in Saint Moritz

Driving in the Swiss Alps requires extra caution. Be prepared for:

  • Winding mountain roads with steep inclines and declines
  • Possible snow and ice conditions in winter
  • Swiss driving laws, including mandatory daytime running lights

Remember to familiarize yourself with local traffic rules and parking regulations in Saint Moritz. The town center can get busy, so consider parking options in advance.

Exploring the Region

With your rental car, you'll have the freedom to explore beyond Saint Moritz. Don't miss the chance to visit the picturesque Val Fex, a serene side valley known for its untouched natural beauty, or take a drive to the nearby Bernina Pass for breathtaking mountain views.

By keeping these tips in mind and using Bookingautos to compare the best car rental offers, you'll be well-prepared for an unforgettable driving experience in Saint Moritz and the surrounding Engadin region.

Parking Your Rental Car at Saint Moritz Airport

When arriving at Saint Moritz Airport with your rental car, you'll find convenient parking options available. The airport offers:

  • Short-term parking
  • Long-term parking
  • Designated rental car return areas

Short-term Parking

For quick drop-offs or pick-ups, use the short-term parking area located directly in front of the terminal building. This area is ideal for stays of up to 2 hours.

Saint Moritz Airport is a popular holiday destination and the car rental service is in great demand here. Therefore, it is recommended to book a car in advance. When booking online, you know exactly which car, for what price and under what conditions you will get in Saint Moritz Airport. The main advantage of early booking is the cost savings.

If you book early, two days before receiving the car, you can cancel the order without any penalties.

Which car to choose

Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, Fiat Panda or Ford Focus. For trips to the mountains, you need a car with increased power. You should go on such a trip with a full tank, as fuel consumption in the mountains increases one and a half to two times. An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting Ford Foxus Estate in Saint Moritz Airport will cost €37 per day.

What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car

Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.

You should carefully inspect the received car and fix all scratches, dents, and other defects in the contract.
