Ten handover cities, from Geneva to Winterthur, from €244 a day in Zurich
Anywhere Campers has no depot in Switzerland: its vehicles cross the border from the Czech Republic to be handed over in ten cities. In German-speaking Switzerland, Zurich, Winterthur, Baar, Lucerne, Aarau and Basel; in the centre, Bern; around Lake Geneva, Geneva, Gland and Lausanne. You and the rental company agree the meeting place together once the booking is finalised.
Tested in October 2026 on two-week stays, with departure dates from 15 January to 15 October 2027, CoolDrive’s analysis puts the entry price at around €244 a day in Zurich, €248 in Basel, €258 in Geneva, €267 in Bern and €277 in Lucerne, the most expensive city in the Swiss network. Delivery accounts for around €1,700 to €2,200 per fortnight depending on the city, compared with a pick-up in Prague, and it is already included. Distance does not explain everything: Geneva works out cheaper than Bern or Lausanne.
The 360 Swiss offers observed all come with unlimited mileage, which matters in a country where every pass adds detours, and the excess is €1,500. Five of the nine vehicles come with automatic transmission, a real comfort on Alpine hairpins.
Our view: this option makes sense for a trip of two weeks or more setting off from Zurich or Basel towards the Alps. For a one-week getaway, McRent, BlackSheep or Autocaravan Express, which have depots in the country, are worth a close look.

Daily prices recorded at Anywhere Campers on October 28, 2026 for a 15-day rental from its branches in Switzerland: CoolDrive selling price, mandatory fees included. 100% of offers with unlimited mileage. Median excess: €1,500.
Anywhere Campers has no physical branch in these cities: the company delivers the vehicle there, at a time and place agreed with you after booking. They are available as pick-up locations in the search form, which shows availability and the price, delivery included.
On the Swiss motorway network, the vignette is compulsory; it comes as a sticker or as an electronic version linked to the number plate, valid for a calendar year. A vehicle coming from the Czech Republic will not necessarily have one: ask the rental company, and if not, buy it online on the official website before leaving the city. Above 3.5 tonnes, a specific charge replaces it.
The Grimsel, Furka, Susten and Nufenen passes are generally closed from autumn until late spring. Check road conditions before planning your route. The Furka and Lötschberg car-carrying trains accept motorhomes within their size limits, a good workaround when a pass is closed.
Switzerland is not part of the European Union: many mobile plans do not include free roaming there. Check yours before you leave. Payments are made in Swiss francs; bank cards are accepted almost everywhere, including at service areas.
Overnight parking outside designated spaces is regulated canton by canton, and often prohibited. Lakeside campsites fill up quickly in July and August: book your nights around Lucerne, Interlaken or Lake Geneva as soon as your itinerary is set.
In Zurich, Winterthur, Baar, Lucerne, Aarau, Basel, Bern, Geneva, Gland and Lausanne. Neither Valais, Ticino nor Graubünden has a handover point: for Valais, set off from Lausanne or Geneva; for Graubünden, Zurich is the most convenient departure point.
Around €33 a day, almost €500 over two weeks: €244 a day in Zurich compared with €277 in Lucerne in our records. The two cities are around fifty kilometres apart. Collecting the vehicle in Zurich and then driving for an hour to Lake Lucerne therefore remains worthwhile.
All three are close: around €258 a day in Geneva, €262 in Lausanne and €264 in Gland for the cheapest vehicle, with averages of €297 to €304. Choose according to how you arrive: Geneva for the airport, Lausanne for Lavaux and Valais, Gland in between.
Not much on the campervan: around €244 a day for the manual compared with €250 for the automatic, over two weeks. The gap widens on the Carado T-447, from €255 for the manual to €273 for the automatic. The Adria Matrix Plus, available only as an automatic, starts at around €278.
Very good value for money. Spacious and well-equipped.
First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!
Too rigid computer system
Switzerland is in the Schengen Area but outside the European customs union: goods checks are still possible at the border. Keep your identity documents and the vehicle papers on board, and find out about the permitted quantities of meat and alcohol if you do your shopping across the border.
The Swiss offers recorded set the excess at €1,500 for all models. Bring a credit card with a limit that covers this amount, which the rental company generally blocks at handover; our experts explain the options that lower it.
Neighbouring countries are in principle accepted, subject to the list attached to the offer. In Austria, a national vignette is also required; in Italy and France, motorways are tolled. The Mont Blanc and Great St Bernard tunnels charge a toll.
Enter the Swiss departure city and your travel dates: the company’s offers appear with delivery included, alongside those of McRent or BlackSheep. Once the booking is made, our experts agree the handover time with Anywhere Campers.
