A rental company with no counters, on purpose

DRAIV is operated by Steininger AG in Switzerland. We own the cars we rent, park them in ordinary Zurich streets, and let your phone do the part that used to need a desk.

Our story

Born from real rentals.

In 2024 we started renting out our own cars — first through car-sharing platforms in Switzerland. Every single rental taught us something: what's annoying, what's missing, and what people really need when they rent a car.

One thing became clear along the way: we never wanted to be just the platform. Not just the ones with the cars either. And certainly not a supplier for one piece of the chain. At DRAIV, the whole experience is ours — the cars, the technology, the app, the support. Everything from one source, everything our responsibility.

That also means: when something jams, we don't point at others. We take it personally — and make it better. That's exactly why we built DRAIV: keyless and digital, but personal when it matters.

  1. 2024 — Our own cars, other people's platforms.

    We rent out our fleet through car-sharing providers and learn from every single rental.

  2. We take over the whole chain.

    Our own cars, our own technology, our own app, our own support — so no one stands between you and us anymore.

  3. Today — DRAIV.

    An independent Swiss platform with its own fleet and 11 locations. One point of contact, for everything.

Over 1'400+ bookings since 2024 — first through platforms, today directly through DRAIV.

Counted honestly and rounded down — better one round number too few than one too many.

We rent our own cars

DRAIV is not a marketplace matching you with somebody else's car. The fleet is ours, serviced by us and priced by us. That is why the car you booked is the car you get, rather than a category that gets resolved at a counter.

Four things we decided not to build

  • A counter

    Every counter needs opening hours, and opening hours are exactly what breaks a rental when a flight runs late.

  • A key handover

    Meeting somebody to collect a key puts two calendars in the way of one drive. The phone removes both.

  • A deposit

    Blocking several hundred francs on a card for a week solves the company's problem by creating the customer's. We do not hold one.

  • A subscription

    We rent cars, including for months at a time. Nothing renews on you, and when the rental ends the relationship ends with it.

Talk to a person

Support is real people, seven days a week from 07:00 to midnight, on WhatsApp, by phone or by email. English is fine. So is German. The company sits in Switzerland, the cars sit in Zurich, and the invoices come from Steininger AG.

Everything included

All in the price

The price you see is the price. Protection, fees & VAT included.

Damage protection included

Deductible reducible to CHF 200 on request.

Free cancellation

Real voices

Our customers say it better than we do.

Reviews from Trustpilot, messages from our WhatsApp support and feedback left straight after a rental. Word for word, nothing polished.
