Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Basel?
Daily home prices were as low as AU$241 within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising the streets of Basel in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to visit the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Basel car reservation?
Cancelling a booking at least six hours before pickup should allow for a total refund. But this is not always a given. It's a good idea to scan your booking details and home agreement. Still stuck for answers? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Basel?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the top choice for many visiting motorists in Basel. With terrific mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to exploring the city. A compact car offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a little extra style and comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Basel?
When you've checked out all of the terrific places in Basel, there's plenty more to explore in the surrounding area. Grab the keys to a rental car, pack your bags in the trunk and get out on the open road. Here are some drives you're sure to enjoy:

  • Bern is around 72 kilometres from Basel. Notable sights like Federal Palace deserve to be high on your list here.
  • Your next pit stop? It has to be Zermatt, which is around 177 kilometres away. Matterhorn is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Spend time in nature and breathe in some fresh air at Monte San Salvatore. You'll find it about 209 kilometres from Basel.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Basel?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules you should bear in mind before booking your Basel wheels. If you're a younger motorist, most home outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between companies. It's always a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Basel?
Before you can hit the road in Basel, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you decline to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Basel?
Whether you're basing yourself in Basel or heading off on a trip around Switzerland, you'll be driving on the right side. While this is obviously the same as the U.S, there will be differences in road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Basel?
Yes, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Basel and score an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Basel car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a little research. Found a Basel supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you're considering should have all the details you need.
