It's pretty much the same, you go find the traffic regulations and do some homework.

Swiss drive fast, tailgating you. It's best to find a gap and move over. Mountain roads are narrow, so rent a small automatic SUV.

When picking up the car, be sure to check on the spot whether there are scratches on the car, whether the tools and documents are complete, and whether the lights are OK, etc. If there are defects, be sure to ask the staff to issue a pickup and inspection form and note the details, and keep this form. When returning the car, also be sure to ask the staff to issue a return and inspection form to indicate that the car is in good condition. Keep these two forms well for a long time as evidence to refute deductions. Also be sure to abide by traffic rules, otherwise you will receive traffic deduction information after returning home.

Switzerland pays more attention to integrity. Generally, the parking lots of hotels are charged, but they are not checked. When you check out, you can simply say you didn't park. But I feel that they respect and trust you, so there is no need to lie. Some supermarkets can also allow customers to self-checkout and scan barcodes. After all, it's a highly civilized country ? 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
