The roads in Lausanne and the rest of the country are generally in excellent condition and are well adapted to all types of vehicles; the one you choose will depend on your needs. If you're driving around in summer, consider convertible car hire in Lausanne, to make the most of the scenery. If you're planning on sticking to the city and not exploring the surrounding areas, a small model will suit you. For longer trips, SUVs are always a little more comfortable.
Speed limits in Lausanne follow the national rules of the road and must be followed at all times. If you're in the residential areas, stick to the limit of 30 km/h, while the main roads in the city have a speed limit of 60 km/h. When you're driving outside of the city on rural roads, you'll be limited to 80 km/h. Major expressways have a speed limit between 100 km/h and 120 km/h depending on signage, but most people driving in Switzerland will go slower than suggested, to take in the landscape and scenery.
Some of the cheaper places to find parking lie on the outskirts of Lausanne, while car parks in the city centre are generally less affordable. On the outskirts, you'll find Park & Ride places, where you can leave your car and use public transport to get around. La Ripponne or Navigation in Ouchy are car park options in the city centre. It’s also suggested you make sure your hotel or accommodation has adequate parking available.

Some Lausanne car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Lausanne.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Lausanne car hire.
