Zurich runs with Swiss precision, and that extends to the way it rewards drivers. The city combines a compact old town and the luxury boutiques of Bahnhofstrasse with a lake that stretches southeast toward the Alps, and the mountains begin less than an hour away. Zurich Airport (ZRH) is only about 10 km north of the center, and many visitors stay at the Baur au Lac by the lake or The Dolder Grand above the city. Veobooker provides luxury car rental in Zurich with pick-up arranged around your arrival, whether you’re in town for meetings, a ski weekend or a summer of Alpine passes.

Driving from Zurich is a little like working through levels, each one more spectacular than the last. Start gently with the road along the eastern shore of Lake Zurich, the so-called Gold Coast, to the medieval town of Rapperswil about 35 minutes away, an elegant cruise in the Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe. The next step is the Klausen Pass, around an hour and a quarter from the city, where 136 curves link the cantons of Glarus and Uri and the all-wheel drive of the Nissan GT-R feels right at home. Then comes the classic: the loop over the Furka, Grimsel and Susten passes, starting from Andermatt, with hairpins, glaciers and the stretch of road made famous by the James Bond film Goldfinger. Here, a compact and agile car like the Audi RS3 Performance is easier to place on narrow mountain roads than a wider supercar. In winter, the destination changes to St. Moritz and the Engadin, about three hours away. The Land Rover Defender or Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 brings confidence on snowy roads and room for skis and luggage.
