It can be a good idea to opt for a compact or mid-size car in Locarno as the city, as many surrounding areas in Ticino have narrow streets and tight parking spaces. A compact or mid-size car would be more manoeuvrable and easier to park in urban areas. Moreover, since Locarno is situated in a mountainous region, some roads might be uneven or have potholes. A car with good ground clearance can better handle such terrain. Alternatively, having an AWD or 4WD car can be beneficial, especially during winter.
In built-up areas, towns and cities, the speed limit is usually 50 km/h. When circulating outside these built-up areas, the speed limit is generally 80 km/h, while on major roads and expressways the speed limit can range from 80 to 120 km/h, depending on the specific road and signage. And on the highways (autobahns), the maximum speed limit is 120 km/h, unless otherwise indicated. It is advised to always check the road signs for any changes in the speed limits to ensure you are travelling safely on the roads.
Within Locarno city centre, you will find many parking options during your visit to the city.

Some Locarno car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Locarno.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Locarno car hire.
