Car Rental Basel Mini Guide

The EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, located 3km northwest of Basel, is the nearest airport where you collect a pre-booked rental car or you can collect your car from our City locations.  Basel serves as a gateway to the rest of Switzerland, with Berne just over an hour's drive to the south, Zurich approximately 50 miles southeast of the city, and many popular alpine retreats within reach, such as Lake Lucerne and Mount Titlis in Central Switzerland.

Rhinocarhire work with all the top international and local vehicle providers, including Alamo, Avis, Hertz, Dollar, Enterprise, Europcar, and Sixt. Booking a cheap car rental at Basel Airport is easy with our high-tech booking engine or by calling us direct   The airport is located 6 km (3.7 miles) northwest of Basel, 22 km (14 miles) southeast of Mulhouse (France), and 70 km (43 miles) south of Freiburg (Germany).

Basel, known as the culture capital of Switzerland, boasts a milder climate and excellent opportunities for adventure and exploration. Situated in the northwest corner of Switzerland, with France to the west and Germany to the north, the city is divided by the river Rhine.
