What you need to know about car rentals

How do I find the best prices on a Basel Hertz rental car?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, getting your car ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to read the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my car rental in Basel?

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

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Basel?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Basel is 21. Take time to review Hertz's policy, as there may be added fees if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category cars especially.

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. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Hertz require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Hertz requires a deposit when you reserve your rental. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip to Basel. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.

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.

Do I need unlimited miles when I drive in Basel?

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

Does Basel Hertz offer one-way car rentals?

Hertz usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to return your rental at another location. However, there is typically an additional fee when you pick one-way.
