KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gstaad

  • Using Gstaad car hire comes with numerous advantages that enhance your travel experience in this charming Swiss village. With a car, you have the freedom to explore the awe-inspiring sites at your own pace. Drive up to Wispile for stunning views of the surrounding mountains or venture to Saanen, a neighbouring village, to visit its picturesque old town. The convenience of having a car allows you to easily access the iconic Gstaad Palace and the beautiful Lake Lauenen, both of which are a short drive away. Additionally, using car hire in Gstaad is preferable to public transport as it provides more flexibility, comfort, and the ability to reach remote locations that may not be easily accessible by bus or train.
  • The closest airport to Gstaad is Bern Airport (BRN), located approximately 69 kilometres (43 miles) away. Upon arrival at Bern Airport, travellers have the option to hire a car from various car hire companies conveniently located at the airport. These include well-known rental companies, such as Avis, Europcar, and Hertz, among others. The car hire desks are easily accessible within the airport terminal, eliminating the need for shuttle services. This allows visitors to seamlessly pick up their rental vehicle and embark on their journey to Gstaad without any additional transfers. The proximity of the car hire companies at Bern Airport ensures a hassle-free and convenient experience for travellers.
  • Driving a car hire in Gstaad is a delightful experience. Switzerland follows right-hand driving, so visitors from countries that drive on the right-hand side will feel at ease.
