$158 Car Rental Basel City Centre

Basel City Centre has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Grab a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are a few ideas:

• Make tracks to Lausanne for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 85 miles from Basel City Centre, it has numerous amazing sights such as Olympic Museum.
• Around 45 miles away, Bern is also a hit with travelers. Set aside time to take in Wankdorf Stadium while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this colorful city.
• Venture into the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Swiss National Park. It's approximately 130 miles from Basel City Centre.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Switzerland, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places 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 rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
