Car Hire Locations

Basel has several convenient locations to hire a car: the airport, train station or downtown. Whichever you choose, ensure that you consider factors like your arrival point, accommodation location and itinerary in making your choice.

Basel EuroAirport

Basel shares its EuroAirport with France and Germany, making it a unique multi-national airport. If you’re flying into Switzerland, this may likely be your arrival point. You can easily hire a car directly from the airport to start your Swiss journey.

Best Time to Visit

Each season has its charm in Basel, but for pleasant weather and fewer tourists, consider visiting in the shoulder months of April to June or September to October.

Seasonal Events

The colourful carnival Fasnacht is a three-day festival held yearly in Basel in spring. It’s a spectacle you won't want to miss!

  • Basel to Zurich: A beautiful 1.5-hour drive through the Swiss countryside.
  • Basel to Jungfraujoch: Take a day trip to the ‘Top of Europe’ with this spectacular 2 hour drive.

Parking in Basel

Parking in the city centre can be a challenge. Blue parking zones offer a maximum of 1.5 hours of parking from Monday to Saturday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. There are also several car parks, with 24-hour parking, if you’re planning on leaving your car in the city for longer durations.

Onward Travel

Basel's location allows effortless day trips to France and Germany, permitting adventurous travellers to explore three countries in a single day.

Currency

While Switzerland is part of Europe, it uses the Swiss Franc (CHF) as its official currency. Most places accept credit cards, but it’s advisable to carry some cash for smaller establishments.
