Inexpensive, easy to operate and with excellent mileage, it’s not surprising compact vehicles are the most sought-after rental type in Basel-Stadt. Explore this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is perfect for city breaks or quick road trips. But they’re not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there’s a style of vehicle to suit you!

You’ll need to be at least 21 to grab the keys to a rental vehicle in Basel-Stadt. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles.

What do you need to rent a car in Basel-Stadt?

Can I drive in Basel-Stadt with my U.S. Driver's license?

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Basel-Stadt?
