According to this discussion on TripAdvisor and this Swiss government website, it's always been the case that cars hired outside of the EU could only be driven into the EU for a maximum of 8 days, otherwise they'd be subject to import duties, taxes etc (or hefty fines for not paying the same). The change in regulation that came into force on 1st May in fact applies to company cars, but it seems a lot of hire car counters in Switzerland (along with some Guardian journalists 
) have got the wrong end of the stick, and are now refusing the hire of any vehicles at all to persons who plan to travel across the border even just for a day.
