How far is the city center from the airport in Switzerland? I just modified my itinerary and plan to pick up the car in the city center, but it's much more expensive to pick up the car in the city center than at the airport. I plan to play in Zurich for two days first, and then go to the airport to pick up the car. Is it convenient to go to the airport ?

Zurich airport is not far from the city. If you want to play in Zurich city, parking is not very convenient. It is suggested that you do not rent a car first if you want to play in the city.

It's about 15 to 20 minutes by taxi from the airport to the city, but it costs 60 francs. You can take the train, which is very convenient.

I picked up the car at Zurich airport, drove all the way to Lucerne, Berne, and Geneva, and then went to Milan.

Ask the fellow wuzhuos for some experience. I plan to drive on my own from Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken in the first three days. Then go to Murren for two days, Grindelwald for two days. On the last day, I plan to drive along Montreux, Lavaux, Lausanne, and arrive at Geneva airport at night. Because, the car will be parked in Lauterbrunnen for two days in the middle, and the car will almost not be used during the two days in Grindelwald. Do you think I should return the car at the East Station of Interlaken before going to Murren, take the train, and then take the train to Geneva, or drive all the way ? Switzerland Q&A

I just returned from Sweden in August, and I have had many appearances before, including developed countries such as Australia. In theory, there should be no problem at all. I am now worried that the Zhongzhi Visa Center is playing tricks. I was supposed to submit my documents on September 1st. At that time, the staff checked the child's documents first and said there was no ticket pre-order. The child's other documents were all qualified. I actually bought the ticket, but I was confused and didn't print it. I told her I would go to the lobby to print it and come back in ten minutes. She said that even if it was a supplementary document, all three people had to upgrade to VIP, and each person had to pay an additional 250 yuan. I thought it was not worth it and said I would come back another day. So I made another appointment on September 5th. I checked the documents at home many times and thought there should be no problem before I went. As a result, after the staff checked all our documents, they said the photo was not qualified, and the proportion of the face in the photo was too large. I said I took it when I applied for a Swedish visa in July, and most importantly, the staff who checked the documents a few days ago said that everything was fine except for the lack of a ticket pre-order, and they even asked me to paste the child's photo on the application form. Why did they say the photo was not acceptable this time? Isn't this finding fault for no reason? I was particularly angry at the time and argued with them. The staff asked for approval from their superiors, but they said that the result of today's review was final, which was simply unreasonable. Both my partner and I went to take photos again, but the child did not go. In the end, we had to go to the school to pick up the child and take photos, which was simply trying to find ways to charge extra fees, shameless to the extreme. I don't know if they have submitted our documents as required, because based on the situation of submitting documents twice, I think the conduct of the staff of the Zhongzhi Visa Center entrusted by the embassy is really not commendable ?

There's a strange problem. The car I rented from Thrifty was actually provided by Hertz. I picked it up in Nice and returned it at Geneva Airport, but I still don't know where the return point (said to be the French zone of Geneva Airport) is. Has anyone ever returned a Hertz car at Geneva Airport? Could you please point it out? Is there a difference between returning a car in the French zone and the Swiss zone at Geneva Airport? Thank you ? Switzerland Q&A

I also don't want to drive directly from the airport to Zermatt, but I have no choice. The hotel I have my eye on is only available for booking at this time. I will arrive in Zurich at 6:30 am on July 19th. I originally planned to stay in Gersau on the 19th, and in Zermatt on the 20th and 21st. However, the hotel I like in Zermatt is only available for the 19th and 20th. So, I have no choice but to drive that far on the first day. I think I have enough time, and I can take it slow, stopping to rest and enjoy the scenery along the way. I wonder if there are any suitable places to stop for food and sightseeing along the way. I saw on the map that Fronalstock seems nice, and it's said to have a fjord-like scenery ? Switzerland Q&A

Hello fellow car owners, I wonder if any of you have encountered being charged by the car dealership? (Main reason: The other party was fully responsible for the accident, and they had full coverage insurance while we only had basic insurance. When we returned the car, the dealership said the other party would compensate us. Six months later, we received a notification saying that they were investigating whether there were any damages to the car that were not caused by a third party, and then they charged over 10,000 yuan to our credit card. How should we handle this?) ? Switzerland Q&A
