Driving from Salzburg to Fussen and ultimately dropping the car in Zurich

We are planning a trip extension after a cruise ending in Passau in May 2026. We want to see both Salzburg and Fussen before touring Switzerland. The train service between Salzburg / Fussen / Zurich looks difficult with many transfers.

Would driving from Salzburg to Zurick with a stop in Fussen be a good option?

Often there is a fee for renting in one country and returning in another. Sometimes it is hefty and sometimes not. The only way to know - and to know what is acceptable to you - is to price it. Start with AutoEurope.com. But you should also check with booking direct.

But Google is telling me there is a direct 5 1/2 hr train (that might have a section in the middle with bus replacement - but that is not at all difficult).
