Car Hire in Sion Center

Sion is the cantonal capital of Valais located in the Rhône Valley, surrounded by vineyards and medieval castles. With a rental car from one of the 4 rental locations in the city center, you can reach Verbier in 45 km (about 50 min) and Zermatt in 75 km (about 80 min). The city is an excellent base for exploring the entire Valais region.

Sion's old town is dominated by the two cliff castles Tourbillon and Valère, both accessible by a 10-minute walk from the city center. The Rhône Valley offers over 5,000 hectares of vineyards and wine routes perfect for car excursions in autumn. Park your rental car at Place du Midi and explore the city center on foot.

Drive early to Tourbillon castle to avoid queues on the narrow access road. Take the Route des Vins de Valais south toward Sierre for a 30 km wine tour along the valley. Where are the car rental stations in Sion city center?

The 4 rental companies are located in and around the city center, near the railway station and Place de la Planta. Exact addresses will be provided at booking. Can I drive the rental car to Zermatt?

You can drive to Täsch, 5 km from Zermatt, but Zermatt itself is car-free. Park at Täsch and take the train for the last few kilometers. What type of car is best suited for the Valais Alps?

A car with four-wheel drive is recommended in winter as many alpine roads require snow chains or AWD. In summer, a regular car is sufficient for most routes.

We compare prices from all major providers at Sion Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
