Your phone is the key. The app is optional.
Booking and unlocking both work in an ordinary mobile browser. The iOS app is there if you want it, but no part of the rental depends on installing anything.

What the phone actually does
Keyless is a specific mechanism, not a mood. Here is what happens, and what happens when it does not.
The unlock
Your booking gives your account permission to open one car for one window of time. Tapping unlock sends a command to the car over the mobile network, the doors open, and the physical key is waiting in the glovebox for the drive itself.
If you have no signal
The unlock needs a connection, because the command has to travel to the car. With no data on your phone the car cannot be opened remotely, so move to a spot with coverage or message support.
If your battery dies
Charge in the car over USB. If you are standing outside it with a dead phone, support can open the car for you, seven days a week from 07:00 to midnight.
The return
Park in the same spot, put the key back, lock from the phone. That closes the rental, and the invoice follows to your account.
Do you actually need the app?
No. The whole flow, from search to unlock, runs in Safari or Chrome on a phone. The iOS app adds convenience rather than capability, and there is a waitlist for the Android one. If you are in Zurich for four days, do not spend the first of them installing software.

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.
Excellent Service and a Great Experience!
I had a really great experience with this company. The car was spotless, very well maintained, and exactly what I needed. The owner was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful throughout the whole process, which made everything easy and stress-free. Everything went perfectly from start to finish, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. I would definitely rent from them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy car rental company. You can book with confidence! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
10/10 experience
I can’t begin to start with how phenomenal this service is. For context, my friend and I have traveled from South Africa and wanted to hire a car to experience the Swiss Alps, after a few days of searching, we realized just how expensive and inconvenient it is to rent from regular car hire services. We stumbled across Drive and were privileged enough to rent a car from Anton who made our experience world class. He was constantly available for contact when we needed him and incredibly helpful when it came to pick up and drop off. The cars quality was absolutely phenomenal and it really took our experience to the next level. I will definitely be back to rent cars through DRAIV, and more specifically, from Anton.
Exceptional support when it mattered…
DRAIV was an absolute lifesaver during a family emergency in Switzerland. The team provided a personal touch and a level of genuine empathy that you simply don’t expect from a car rental company. I originally booked a vehicle for a short period but had to extend my reservation multiple times as my situation evolved. From the seamless delivery of the car to managing the ongoing extensions, every single step of the process was completely effortless. They eliminated all the usual administrative stress so I could focus entirely on my family. Outstanding customer care and a flawless overall experience—I highly recommend them and really hope they expand their service!

Unkompliziert, hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und einfach nur gut! 👍🏼
Technisch sehr gut instandgehaltene Fahrzeuge die tadellos funktionieren wie sie sollen, sauber und gepflegt. Angenehm zu fahren. Fahrspass garantiert! Das Buchungstool ist einfach zu bedienen, und im Buchungsprozess hat alles geklappt wie vorgesehen und wie gewünscht. Auch bei einem Änderungswunsch bezüglich des gebuchten Datums wurde mir rasch und unkompliziert weitergeholfen Ebenso wurde mir bei einem von mir im Auto vergessenen Gegenstand rasch, entgegenkommend und wiederum sehr unkompliziert weitergeholfen. Grosses DANKE nochmals dafür! ☺️ Ich miete regelmässig Autos auf verschiedenen Plattformen und ich kann DRAIV als ganzes, und Anton als Vermieter insbesondere, uneingeschränkt, guten Gewissens und wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Top! 👍🏼 Anmerkung: Diese Bewertung wäre genauso positiv ausgefallen, wenn ich nichts im Auto vergessenen hätte 😊 Aber dieser zusätzliche Service hätte einen 6ten Stern verdient!
Excellent experience
Using a car through DRAIV was easier than we could have hoped for. The car was exactly where it was supposed to be at the expected time. The car was in great condition, and it was super comfortable. I made an error when I failed to account for a time zone change, and the issue was resolved in less than 5 minutes from when I messaged. I had a question while I was using the car, and again, I had an answer in minutes. After this experience, I can’t imagine ever renting from anywhere else. Thank you, DRAIV!
