With a hired car on a round trip in the border region

Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport is the perfect starting point for a trip with your hired car to the beautiful regions in the border triangle such as Alsace, the Alps and the Black Forest.

  • Start in Basel Stadt, Switzerland's third largest city, with 40 museums a treat for art lovers, a variety of events and attractions, and an exciting contrast of more than 2,000 years of history and modern architecture. Basel's Romanesque and Gothic-style cathedral is the city's landmark, and the Pfalz, as the terrace above the Rhine is called, is the most popular vantage point. Stroll through the market square with its imposing red town hall and visit the Spalentor, one of the three city gates. The Mittlere Brücke is one of the oldest Rhine crossings between Lake Constance and the North Sea. Admire modern architecture by great architects like Richard Meier or Mario Botta and great museums like the Fondation Beyler, Museum Tinguely, Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel and many more.
  • In Alsace you will find top wines, culinary highlights like Kouglof, Baeckeofe, Flammekueche or Spice Cake, especially nice to see in the Musée du Pain d'Epices et de l'Art Populaire, and besides the cities of Colmar and Strasbourg you will discover many small villages with irresistible charm, like Eguisheim, Kaysersberg or Ribeaville.
  • The Black Forest with its dense evergreen forests, Black Forest houses, cuckoo clocks and Bollen hats offers you a diverse holiday experience such as hiking, a city trip in Freiburg or you go with your hired car on the trail of the German Clock Route. The beautiful route, awarded as European Route of Industrial Heritage, takes you through 25 towns in the Black Forest and various clock museums.

Autumn and winter in the border triangle

Embark on a culinary journey through Alsace in the fall with your hired car. The Alsace Wine Route winds 170 kilometers from Basel airport from Thann, the southernmost and steepest vineyard in Alsace, through Hohlandsberg Castle, Colmar, Ribeauvillé, Marlenheim to Wissembourg in northern Alsace.

The highlight of the year are the "drey scheenschte Dääg". They begin in Basel on the Monday after Ash Wednesday with the morning prank at four o'clock in the morning and end on Thursday again at 4 o'clock in the morning with the final prank. Because of its uniqueness, the Basel Fasnacht belongs to the immatriellen UNESCO world cultural heritage and especially the morning prank is one of the most impressive experiences you will have during the carnival, when thousands of disguised pipers and drummers parade with their lanterns through the dark city center and turn it into a colorful sea of lights. Let yourself be swept away by this unique hustle and bustle and warm up with traditional flour soup, cheese and onion wafers.

Driveboo tip:

At the Basler Fasnacht only the active Fasnächtler wear costumes, not the spectators. At the Morgenstreich, the use of flashlights is not appreciated. Masked Fasnächtler may not be pelted with Räppli (confetti), it can significantly complicate breathing under the larva (mask).

Things to remember after exploring Basel

Basically we recommend you also in Switzerland the comprehensive insurance without deductible. Through this you enjoy complete insurance protection. In addition, the legal liability insurance is included in every offer. This should be equipped with a particularly high coverage amount. According to experts, this should be at least half a million euros. Depending on the travel plan, other additional insurances may be worthwhile. The infrastructure in Switzerland is good, but it may still be worthwhile to have glass and tire insurance if you are going on a trip to the mountains. If you travel with a roof rack, which you can get for an additional fee at most car rentals, a roof insurance is recommended. 

What to consider when returning the hired car at Basel Mulhouse Airport? 

⌃

Plan enough buffer time for the return of your hired car. Depending on the chosen refuelling arrangement, you should fill up your hired car accordingly. Basically, we recommend that you always opt for the fair fuel regulation full/full. With this you pick up your hired car with a full tank and return it in the same way. The easiest way to do this is to visit the nearest gas station at Basel Mulhouse Airport. Right next to the airport you will find the Tamoil gas station. If you miss it due to time reasons to fill up the hired car before drop-off, the amount may be deducted from your deposit. 

Caution instead of indulgence. Ideally, you will have already documented the current condition of the vehicle when you return it. When you return the hired car, a service representative of the car hire company will again check the condition of the hired car. In case of doubt, you can refer to your own recordings in case of conflict. Since Driveboo only works with reputable car hire companies, the deposit only serves as security for the car hire company. So if you return the hired car in the same condition as you received it, you will get the full amount back. In any case, be sure to get a receipt. When the amount on your credit card bill will be released again depends on your respective bank. 

Can I cancel a hired car at Basel Mulhouse Airport? 

⌃

Up to 24 hours before rental, you can cancel any hired car free of charge. Please note the opening hours of our service team for this. Especially during uncertain times like the Corona Pandemic this guarantees you full flexibility. Also in your own case of illness during the colder months this can be a savior in case of doubt.
