I would definately take the 4-day Swiss Pass. It allows free travel on most trains, buses, trams and boats plus entry to many museums in Switzerland. You can even get half price on some mountain cablecars.
The train trip from Zurich to Luzern is only 45 minutes and there is a direct train every half hour. There are frequent and accessible trains to Rigi as well. Transport in Switzerland is excellent, with most trains running on time and transport to even the most remote areas.
A car would be expensive to rent and expensive for the gas in Switzerland. During peak hours, especially near Zurich, the roads are often crowded. And at the Rigi you would get no reductions on the cable car. Of course, it would depend how many people you were. If it were for a family of four, it may be worthwhile to drive. But for a single person, I definately recommend the train.

Renting a automobile is the appropriate way. regardless of the undeniable fact that, be conscious that the cheap value of $206 is probably for a instruction manual transmission. possibly you experience delicate utilising that for the period of eire, yet a super sort of human beings (even nevertheless they might force it in the u . s .). bear in concepts that jointly as your pedals (grab and gasoline) would be in an identical place, you would be sitting on the main appropriate component of the automobile and your equipment stick will could be used with your left hand. The roads are incredibly slender (and usually lined with hedgerows -- stone partitions overgrown with shrubs) and windy. while we went over, we spent so lots additional money on the automobile to get an computerized. It became into so lots greater delicate no longer having to be anxious approximately each little thing else. shall we only force (and believe me, that became into frightening adequate for an American!).

Swiss pass.
Rented cars are almost useless in Switzerland, as many places are only accessible by rail and not by road.
