KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Brig

  • Local buses offer transport to various routes in Brig. However, these buses only operate on specific routes at fixed schedules, which limits your access to unique places in the city. That's why you should consider using car hire in Brig. With a hire car, you can visit Schloss Leuk, about 30 km (18 miles) from the city and Gorner Gorge, approximately 40 km (24 miles) away.
  • Zurich Airport (ZRH) mainly serves Brig. After landing, you can find several Brig car hire agencies, including Dollar, Thrifty, Sixt, and Alamo, on Level 1 of the Airport Centre. Getting to the car hire offices from the airport is easy because the airport offers reliable shuttle services. You can expect many car types from different agencies when booking a hire car. However, your agency can help you choose the best vehicle for your journey.
  • Brig has Alpine landscapes, and driving in the city is easy because the streets are well-marked. Several zones have yellow markings for pedestrian crossing. However, some pedestrians ignore the designated crossing zones, though it's illegal. Therefore, be careful when driving for the safety of pedestrians.
  • Using car hire in Brig during the rainy season can be challenging. Heavy rains usually fall between May and September, and some roads can become affected. As a result, driving on flooded streets is risky. Therefore, research the routes before driving to avoid frustrations on your journey. You can also listen to local weather news to know what to expect on your journey. This way, you can choose alternative roads not affected by floods for your trip.
  • Book your car hire in Brig at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
