Be sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

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

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Basel. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a sedan or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a dash of luxury on their Basel trip can choose the premium category to get a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Switzerland require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car from Hertz in Switzerland. Many of the major credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) generally provide some coverage. But many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Basel.

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

We advise a full to full policy. You should get into your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Hertz. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
