Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Basel Dollar car rental at a great price?

We strive to get you the lowest rates, whether you book. However, booking your car ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

What should I carry with me when I pick up my vehicle in Basel?

You'll need to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Basel's minimum age to rent a car?

Dollar's minimum age to rent a car in Basel is 21. Take time to read through Dollar's policies, as there may be added fees if you are under 25 or for higher category vehicles in particular.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Basel?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Basel. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or a sedan will have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Basel getaway can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does Switzerland require car insurance?

In Switzerland you do need to have insurance before you rent from Dollar. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Dollar car rental?

Dollar does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip to Basel. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car.

Do I have to return my Dollar rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle with the needle at "F". If you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Dollar.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Basel?

Basel definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Basel.

Does Basel Dollar offer one-way car rentals?

Dollar offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at a different Dollar. Be aware there may be an additional fee when you pick one-way.
