DRAIV

A car 10 to 15 minutes' walk from Zurich HB

Book it while you are still on the platform. The cars sit just north of the station and your phone opens them, so there is nothing to collect and nobody to find.

From the platform to the driver's seat

Nothing in this sequence waits on an office. It is the whole handover, in the order you do it.

  1. Book from where you are standing

    The list on this page is live. Pick a car, pick your hours, pay in the browser. No app needed.

  2. Walk north out of the station

    The Stampfenbach and Sumatrastrasse cars are 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the HB, over the river.

  3. Unlock it yourself

    One tap in the browser or the app opens the car. The key waits in the glovebox and stays with the car.

  4. Leave it where you found it

    Park in the same spot, put the key back, lock from your phone. The rental closes itself.

Why people book this one

Three situations come up again and again around the main station, and a counter with opening hours helps with none of them.

  • A train is cancelled and the next useful connection is two hours out.

  • The last leg has no rail line worth taking, so a car does the final hour.

  • Too much luggage, or a pram, or skis, to change platforms twice with.

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!

A perfect and easy care hire experience

Honestly the easiest experience from start to finish! Car was in perfect condition and made driving all throughout Switzerland and Italy a dream. The Draiv team were always in communication to make the process seamless. Highly recommend.

Cleaning is your business :)

Booking is easy, most of the cars very central in town, good decent cars, great support, etc.

Picking up near Zurich HB

10 to 15 minutes on foot, depending on the street. The cars stand in the 8006 streets just north of the station, around Stampfenbachstrasse and Sumatrastrasse. You get the exact spot with your booking.

Yes, when one is free. The fleet is self-service around the clock, so a late booking works exactly like a midday one. The live list on this page is what is genuinely available.

The fleet runs from compact cars to estates and SUVs, and each car's page states what it holds. Filter for the space you need before you book rather than hoping at the kerb.

No. Every rental starts and ends in the same parking spot. That is what keeps the next car where the page said it would be, and why there is no one-way surcharge to argue about.

No. There is no paperwork and no counter. Your licence is checked once, in the app, and after that a booking is two taps.

10 to 15 minutes' walk from the main station, north of the Limmat in 8006. From Central it is 8 to 14 minutes on foot. No counter, no deposit: you unlock the car with your phone.

Yes. From District 5 you reach the nearest car in 8006 in a few minutes, just across the Limmat. You book online and unlock the car with your phone, around the clock.

By train, 9 to 13 minutes from Zurich HB to the airport, no changes (SBB timetable). Pick the car up 10 to 15 minutes' walk from the station first, in 8006 north of the Limmat.

Booked in 2 minutes, on the road in 5.
