Vehicle rental is a business built on availability: the customer who needs a van on Saturday morning books with whoever they find first. Vehicle rental marketing in Switzerland is therefore about being visible at the right moment, within the right geographic radius, with a booking journey that does not lose anyone along the way. Digital Swiss Agency, based in Geneva (Rue Alberto Giacometti 3, 1218 Geneva), works with van, car, camper and truck rental companies across French-speaking Switzerland: booking websites, local search visibility, geotargeted advertising and back-office automation.
What we actually build for a rental company
We do not sell an abstract "marketing package". We build the few components that genuinely keep a fleet moving:
- Vehicle booking website: real-time availability calendar, pricing by duration, add-on options (mileage, insurance, accessories), online payment and automatic confirmation. Customers book on their own, including at night and at weekends.
- Local search visibility for van rentals: an optimised business profile, dedicated pages per vehicle and per town, customer reviews and structured data. This is what gets you found for "van rental + your town".
- Geotargeted advertising: Google Ads campaigns restricted to your real catchment area, with negative keywords so you stop paying for out-of-range clicks. See our Google Ads service.
- Local content: a blog that answers the questions people actually ask (what load volume for a move, which licence for which weight, which traffic rules apply) and captures searches that advertising never covers.
- Automation: PDF invoices generated on their own, confirmation and reminder emails, contract attachments, follow-ups. Less manual data entry, fewer things forgotten.
- Social media: regular posts and short fleet videos, in French and in English if your customers are international.
Our experience with a Swiss van rental company
We work with Locabus, a van rental company based in Moutier. Here is what we actually built for them — deliverables, not promises:
- an online booking system with availability calendar, options and card payment;
- automatic invoicing: a PDF invoice is generated for every booking and attached to the emails sent to the customer;
- a local blog published on an ongoing basis, with articles rooted in the region and in how vans are really used;
- a Google Ads campaign targeting the real catchment area around Moutier — where customers genuinely travel from to pick up a vehicle.
We deliberately describe what was delivered rather than performance figures: every fleet, every area and every season has its own reality, and we would rather show you the mechanics than sell you somebody else's numbers. Further examples of our work are on our portfolio page.
Who we work with
This setup suits any business whose revenue depends on fleet availability:
- van and moving-truck rental companies;
- independent car rental operators and small regional fleets;
- camper van, trailer and rolling equipment rentals;
- garages and dealerships that also rent out vehicles;
- leasing and lease-takeover companies.
Our clients are SMEs, self-employed professionals and local businesses in Geneva, Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland. Everything is run remotely, with in-person meetings available in Geneva.
Our method, step by step
- Free audit: we review your website, your local visibility, your booking funnel and your direct competitors within your radius. You receive a written diagnosis, even if you decide not to work with us afterwards.
- Prioritisation: we start with whatever is blocking the most bookings. Very often that is the booking funnel before advertising — there is no point buying clicks to a page that does not convert.
- Build: new site or redesign, vehicle pages, local landing pages, and automation for quotes and invoicing. See our article on automating follow-ups, quotes and invoices.
- Acquisition: local SEO first (our 12 local SEO levers apply directly to a rental business), then geotargeted advertising. Our Performance Max guide for SMEs explains when that format makes sense and when it does not.
- Follow-up: a clear monthly review, free of jargon, with the adjustments planned for the month ahead.
Our pricing
Our rates are stated upfront, before anything starts: websites from 200 CHF and social media from 50 CHF per month. Your advertising budget stays with you, on your own Google or Meta account — we never mix it with our fees. The quote is free and itemises every line, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
