We travelled to engelberg for skii’ing on Titlis. It was only around an hour from the vehicle collection location which was handy and the roads were relatively easy to navigate when you get past being on the wrong side of the vehicle and road.

We were visiting many small towns and big cities in Switzerland. Driving made it so much easier to plan ahead and to visit multiple attractions and museums, some of which have limited opening hours. For example, some guided tours in watch museums and ateliers are located in remote towns and only offer early morning or afternoon tours.

First of all, there is no long queue on the agent front desk. Everything passed fast and easy. I got the car better than I expected on the good conditions. Also, the value for money is excellent compared with other agencies at that time.
