Lugano, Switzerland: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Lugano are: Smart Car, Chevrolet Matiz, Kia Picanto, Citroen C1, Ford Ka, Hyundai Getz and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Switzerland vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in Switzerland are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Lugano, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Lugano!

Driving Advices for Switzerland – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
We cannot forget to mention that locals simply adore sports cars. Such vehicles can be found literally anywhere, even in small towns. Collectible cars can also be seen there, but you will never see old or dirty cars on the roads of Switzerland.
Many foreign drivers may be surprised by one interesting fact – in Switzerland, tender old ladies often drive expensive cars. Despite their age, local elderly women drive as good young drivers.
You will certainly see many “luxurious” cars in Switzerland. This fact has a simple explanation - the income of the local people is really high. The excellent quality of roads and relatively inexpensive fuel – these factors are real advantages in favor of high-end vehicles.

Sightseeing of Lugano, Switzerland
The sightseeing tour of Lugano should include the visit to the church Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angioli. Built in 16th century, this church is the genuine incarnation of the Romanesque style. The church features inimitable inner adornments. Its walls are covered with skillful fresco paintings created in 1529 by the genius artist Bernardino Luini. The church of S. Rocco is a landmark of the earlier period. It was established in 15th century. The church has by miracle preserved its original look till now. In the course of its history the building has never been remodeled or reconstructed. This religious building will be of great interest to any visitor.

The most visited cultural site of Lugano is Art Museum named Städtisches Kunstmuseum. It is located on the territory of the marvelous country villa Malpensata. In the middle of the 19th century the villa was owned by a wealthy patrician who in a later date conveyed the stunning house to the museum. Today the museum presents a rich collection of the paintings of local artists of the 19th – 20th centuries. Another museum named Museo cantonale d’arte is of the same interest. It was established in 1987. The museum also keeps an interesting collection of paintings among which the works of the artists of Italian Switzerland prevail.
