Utilising car hire in Bern could present problems if you hire a large vehicle such as an SUV. Unless you are planning mountain road trips, it is probably better to hire smaller, compact cars when in the older European cities. Just like many cities in Europe, there are narrow cobbled lanes that will be blocked up by larger cars. When it’s time to tackle long road trips, your compact car hire should serve you well. Always make sure you are equipped with the right tyres and safety gear for the time of year.

The speed limits in Bern are observed in kilometres and will be marked that way on the roads. Generally, Switzerland allows for 50 km/h on inner city and residential roads, 80 km/h on larger roads outside the city and 120 km/h on the motorways.

With the city being quite condensed with smaller roads, it is wise to park your car at the venues, hotels, restaurants and shopping centres you visit where possible, and opt for large parking garages the rest of the time. You can find parking garages such as the City Hall Parking, City West Parking, Bahnhof Parking Bern and others that have many bays and security.
