Travel by car
Comfortable and barrier-free travel through Switzerland is also possible by car. People with disabilities benefit from well-developed infrastructure and a wide range of offerings that support individual mobility. No matter whether that’s with an adapted private vehicle or a rental car with special devices – barrier-free travel on four wheels is no problem at all while in Switzerland. Helpful information on parking maps, barrier-free rest areas and support services make planning even easier and allow for greater independence while on the road.
Parking
Designated parking spaces are specially reserved for those in possession of a valid disability ID. Place the disability ID so that it is clearly visible inside the windscreen or in any other clearly visible spot inside the vehicle. Further information on how to make parking easier has been provided by the ASA. Disabled parking spaces can be found on Ginto – Switzerland’s platform for accessibility information.
Car rental
Europcar makes it possible for those with disabilities and their companions to get around quickly and conveniently. A modern fleet of VW Caddy Maxis has been specially converted for the needs of people with disabilities and their companions.
