Basel - Offroad 4x4 Car Hire

Searching for SUVs and Crossovers

The white form is preset to search for SUV and crossover vehicles in the 'Basel - Airport' rental office. Address: Basel-Mulhouse Airport, Basel, Switzerland.

In Basel, we offer vehicles at 7 different rental locations (see the links below). Normally, the best SUV rental offers in Switzerland are provided by offices located in airports and train stations.

We recommend the following principle for selection of an off-road model for trips in Switzerland: if your planned routes are mainly within a city borders – a small crossover, while if the routes go through countryside or mountain regions – a large and powerful off-road 4x4 car.

Basel, Switzerland: SUV and Offroad Rental Tips
The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Basel are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Rav4 and others.

While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Switzerland ask information about two credit cards.

Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.

Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.

If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Switzerland are mandatory child seats for travellers with children. OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe trip and green lights on the roads of Basel!

Driving Advices for Switzerland – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Despite the fact that there are no radars on the mountain roads, speeding is still not recommended. It is really not easy to drive in the mountains because absolutely every road has numerous steep slopes, rises and turns.
Drivers should always have the warning triangle as they will need to use it in case of a breakdown. If your car doesn’t work properly, you need to turn the parking lights on, set the triangle and call the roadside assistance by dialing 140 (the number is available round the clock).
It is possible to use numerous free parking lots only in case you have a special parking dial plate because the time of free parking is limited and strictly controlled. It is possible to purchase the dial plate in any shop for car owners or at any petrol station.

Enjoying SUV and sightseeing of Basel
A very unusual Doll Museum is open in Basel; it is the largest museum of its kind in Europe. Its halls present more than 6000 antique toys, the age of some of them is more than 150 years. This museum will be interesting to visit not only for tourists with kids, but also for adults, it is very popular among collectors. Here you can see rare antique dolls, handmade soft toys that are sewn over a hundred years ago, as well as incredibly beautiful dollhouses. 
Among the religious monuments deserves special attention the Church of St. Elizabeth. This is the largest church in Switzerland, built in neo-Gothic style, its construction was completed in 1864 and took just 7 years. The Church was able to almost completely preserve its unique interior trim, and today visitors can admire the skilful altar stained-glass windows and see the old organ. The current church is largely focused on tourists, a part of the historic buildings occupied by a small cafe, and there is even an observation deck. To climb it, visitors must overcome the 228 steps of the steep spiral staircase. 

Another curious symbol of Basel is the Les Trois Rois Hotel, the first mention of which relates to 1681. This wonderful historic hotel is functioning now, its rooms with unique interior booked many months in advance.
