Top Tips for Renting a Convertible Car in Basel
- You won't find the traditional snowy mountain feel that lots of other cities in Switzerland have when vising Basel, as it has managed to strike a balance between urban cool and a small town by the river-type vibe. Booking convertible car hire in this up-and-coming city is a good way to take advantage of its modern nature and amazing weather. Visit the Basler Rathaus, which is often alive when outdoor markets are set up on the surrounding streets, or see the other side of the city's personality and visit the Basel Cathedral.
- A nearby airport to Basel is Basel Airport (BSL), which is about 5.6 km away. The airport is divided into two sections: the French sector and the Swiss sector. Both sectors have car hire companies on site. When looking for convertible car hire in Basel, likely you'll be making use of the Swiss sector. The car hire companies here are in Hall 4 on Level 2. Hertz and Europcar are popular choices for convertible car hire in Basel directly from the airport.
- Basel has a lovely light and breezy climate, which is unexpected when you first think about a Swiss holiday; it's a fantastic summer destination, and actually, most of the year is pleasant. It is known to be blessed with around 200 days of sunshine a year, making it an all-year-round destination. You can drive along the banks of the Rhine River and see people escaping the heat and taking dips in the water. You'll find the roads are well signposted in most parts of the city and the flow of traffic is easy, the only thing to watch out for is pedestrians and cyclists.
- When driving your convertible car hire in the city centre of Basel, you might find it a bit hard to navigate at first. There are plenty of one-way roads, which can get frustrating if you get stuck trying to head in a particular direction. Parking in the city centre is also an issue at most times, so rather drop the top of your convertible car hire and head further afield with the breeze in your hair to avoid spending too much time in the city centre.

Urban and built-up areas have a limit of 50 km/h, and rural areas allow drivers to reach speeds of 80 km/h. If you find yourself on an expressway, the speed limit is 100 km/h.

What are some tips I should know when driving a convertible in Basel?
Driving a convertible car hire in Basel might be a new experience for you, and there are things you might not have considered. The first thing is you should not tolerate rain. If you feel even one drop, it's time to put the top on. You'll need to drive with a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes.

Pros:
The car was newCons:
it wasn't the car I had booked. I booked a compact like a VW Up or similar, manual, for 143 and ended up getting a massive Skoda Rapid wagon, automatic, and had to pay almost double the price for it at 217. I had no time to argue. But I got thoroughly ripped off. Will stick with Hertz8.0 Very good

Jun 2017
Cons:
Didn't realize that there wasn't an easy way to get from the airport to the downtown Sixt location. And then when our flight was late and we couldn't get to the downtown location before they closed, we couldn't transfer our reservation to the Sixt airport location because we prepaid through kayak. We ended up paying for an additional car for one day and then we had to drive back to the city the next day when the downtown location was open to get it all straightened out. It was kind of a pain.Alamo

Jan 2017
Pros:
Pretty much everything. Drop off at MUC is excellent, takes just secondsCons:
Hertz office at Dreispitz in Basel is hard to find. Signs lead to a carwash, not to the office. The vehicle had two tires inside, taking up the entire trunk space. The guy at the office was telling me unbelievable stories that I have to carry those tires with me. Fortunately in another Hertz office they gladly took those tires from me.9.6 Wonderful

Oct 2016
Pros:
Everything about the rental went smoothly, the car was clean and comfortable.Cons:
It was a bit confusing to find the rental place, since Basel airport has a french side and a swiss side. Of course it's not Hertz's fault, just pay attention if you're renting in Basel airport. Another point is that we paid in advance for a second driver and ended up not using it - would have been nice if there was an option to add another driver in the middle of the trip.Avis
