The mini and compact cars are always very popular for one or two people travelling around the Zurich area due to being the cheap option but are not suitable for larger groups of people or if you have large amounts of luggage.

The compact vehicles can ranges from two door models which may only have sufficient baggage space for two large suitcases. It is important that you are aware of the limited luggage space restrictions these vehicles can provide. Some models can carry five persons but can only take two suitcases. If this is the case for your car hire in Switzerland, you will need to consider this when choosing the size of vehicle you require for your journey from Zurich Airport.

Most of the compact vehicles have a manual drive gearbox and it is not possible to guarantee an automatic model when booking your car hire for travelling around the Zurich region unless you book an automatic car. Although, younger drivers may find this size of vehicle is the best option available to them as most car hire companies will have age restrictions on larger engine size vehicles.

Booking your People Carrier or Minivan at Zurich Airport with Logan Car Hire

July 27, 2009

Travel is an important part of any holiday, but even more so if there are several people travelling together. At certain times of the year there can be a shortage of larger vehicles for hire at Zurich Airport. This is usually due to the popularity of this size of vehicle for parties of 5 persons or more. You should think now about your car hire requirements for your next trip to the Zurich region.

Those experienced in hiring a car at Zurich or from other airports in Switzerland may well have experienced the challenges involved when trying to fit 5 adults and 5 large pieces of luggage along with everyone’s hand baggage into a 5 seater car. If you also have a child seat or baby carriage to add to your already heavily laden car, this can make for a very stressful and uncomfortable journey.

As you and your passengers travel from Zurich Airport to your destination, make sure you will all have enough leg room to enjoy the start of your vacation. You may also be using the car you hired to take you around Zurich and booking the right size of vehicle can help to make your stay in Zurich much more enjoyable for everyone.

You can use your vehicle to travel along the coastal routes to other beaches and beauty spots and go sightseeing at the many attractions, castles, museums, towns and villages that are in the surrounding areas of Zurich and Switzerland.

If you are on a golfing or sporting holiday, you may need extra space for all of your sporting equipment, wither you bring it with you or rent if while you are in the Zurich region. Don’t forget about the extra space you might need for gifts you buy while touring around the Zurich area.

You can book a seven seater (7 seater) people carrier, an eight seater (8 seater) or even a nine seater (9 seater) minivan. These are always very popular and do go very fast, so don’t leave it until nearer your holiday time before making your booking. You could find there are no people carrier or minivans available at Zurich Airport and you might have to travel to Zurich itself or even further afield to be able to collect your vehicle.
