Car Rental in St Gallen

Family car rental in St Gallen

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Switzerland traditionally include the following vehicles: Mercedes C Class, Mercedes A Class, Toyota Avensis, Hyundai Sonata, Renault Scenic, Renault Megane and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the St Gallen borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in St Gallen might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in St Gallen!

The majority of parking lots in Switzerland are paid. As a rule, they are usually equipped with standard parking machines. If you want to, it is always possible to find a free parking lot away from the city center. The limited time of parking remains the main disadvantage of such parking lots.
In Switzerland, there are also toll roads. The fee is also charged for using some tunnels. Tourists, who plan to drive on highways, will need to pay the toll only once. The amount of the toll is approximately 40 francs. After this, you can use highways free of charge.
The toll payment involves the purchase of the special “Vignette” card. It is possible to buy it at customs, at any petrol station or in a post office. The card should be placed under the windshield. Drivers, who do not have the “Vignette” card, are not allowed to use highways. The validity period of the card is 14 months.

Traveling in Sankt Gallen with family car
The city got its name from the famous monk-preacher St. Gallus, who had settled on this land. Later Benedictine monasteries, which had been powerful in Europe at that time, started appearing here, turning the settlement into a city. The ancient abbey library, which had survived through centuries, is the priceless heritage and the memory of the city’s founder. The library is decorated in the rococo style. The library keeps a unique collection of ancient manuscripts and first printed books.

St. Gallen is the city of amazing architecture. Here not only historic monuments are beautifully decorated with stucco, frescoes and mosaics, but the ordinary houses as well. Living quarters are no less grand and stunning with their stone carvings and bas-reliefs. Among other attractions are St. Catherine's Monastery, the Cathedral, Charles Gates, numerous old towers, University of St. Gallen which has brought international fame to the city, and Textile Museum that exhibits best examples of fabrics, famous lace and amazing artistic compositions made of textile.
