Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Basel?
Get bang for your buck in Basel, with car rental prices within the past seven days starting from as low as $83 per day.
What happens if I need to cancel my Basel car reservation?
We know that flexibility on the road is important. That's why many rentals give a total refund if you notify us six hours ahead of pickup. It's still good to go through the agreement though as there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Basel?
After you've covered all the amazing attractions in Basel, there's plenty more to see in the surrounding region. Collect the keys to a rental car, toss your bags in the trunk and take to the open road. These are some road trips we think you'll love:

  • Make tracks to Lausanne for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Around 85 miles from Basel, it's home to numerous amazing sights such as Olympic Museum.
  • Why not see everything on offer in Bern too? Popular attractions to see here include Wankdorf Stadium. Bern is around 45 miles from Basel.
  • Find your way to Swiss National Park to rediscover nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Basel, it's approximately 130 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Basel with Expedia?
Whatever type of ride you want, Expedia will help you pick up the best deal. Compare the offers from well-known rental providers and book the option that works for you. Want to drive away with even more in your wallet? Combine your Basel car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Basel?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Basel. Bear in mind that most rental companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Check the fine print before booking to avoid any surprises at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Basel?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Basel?
Cruising around Basel may feel like second nature to drivers from the U.S. This place, and the rest of Switzerland, sticks to the right side of the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Basel?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Basel was $83. The second lowest price was $88 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Basel?
Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you fabulous offers from numerous top providers.
Where can I find a Basel car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Basel rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Basel?
It's a good idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Basel car rental against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency support and no deductible in the event of a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Basel with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Switzerland, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
