Car rental in the Basel region – places and rental information

The excess is CHF 1,000. An option to exclude the excess is available. Its price, eligibility and scope are confirmed in your individual offer; this does not imply blanket cover for every type of damage.

No deposit is required for renters residing in Switzerland. For renters residing outside Switzerland, the deposit is CHF 500 or CHF 1,000, depending on the vehicle and individual offer.

Return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when you collected it. Check and record the fuel level at handover.

Rent is payable in advance, before handover. For an ongoing monthly rental, the next payment is due before the next rental month begins. A credit card is not required. The payment method is agreed in your offer.

Unlimited mileage, vehicle insurance under the agreed cover, vehicle taxes, routine maintenance, wear-related repairs and TCS assistance under the vehicle’s cover are included. A replacement vehicle may be provided subject to availability. The renter pays for fuel and operating fluids needed during use; delivery and collection are charged separately.

Rental is available from age 18 with a valid licence recognised in Switzerland for the appropriate category and an identity card or passport. Drivers must be named in the agreement or authorised in writing. The agreed driving territory is Switzerland. Travel abroad requires prior written permission; insurance, assistance and required documents must be clarified before crossing the border.

The return location and deadline are in your agreement. Extensions must be agreed before expiry. An early return does not automatically reduce the agreed payment obligation. There is no surcharge for up to 15 minutes’ delay; from minute 16, the rules provide for CHF 50 per return. Additional rental days are charged at the daily rate agreed in advance. Report foreseeable delays immediately by phone; reporting alone does not authorise an extension.

Return the vehicle with all keys, documents and accessories. Condition, damage, mileage and fuel level are recorded at handover and return. Missing fuel is charged at actual cost. The rules provide for CHF 50 if interior cleaning is required, and documented costs for excessive dirt. The same cleaning work is not charged twice.

Insurance cover and exclusions are set out in the agreement; blanket comprehensive cover is not promised. The excess is CHF 1,000 per covered event for which you are responsible, limited to attributable damage if lower. For an accident for which you are responsible, the rules also provide for a CHF 1,000 handling charge. You may demonstrate lower or no costs; mandatory rights to reduction are preserved and work already covered is not charged again. Excluding the excess does not automatically remove other charges. The option’s price and scope belong in your offer. Uninsured damage or justified insurer recourse may lead to further costs.

Notify Mietkarren.ch immediately on 061 589 68 64. Coordinate towing and repairs with us or the relevant assistance provider. With a red warning light or safety-related defect, stop safely and do not continue if doing so could cause further damage or danger. Normal wear and previously documented damage are not charged.

Tell us your dates, number of passengers, luggage or cargo needs and any preference for automatic transmission. You can enquire about a small car, estate or van; a particular model or transmission requires our confirmation. For delivery, include the exact address and your preferred time.

Prices start at CHF 399 for 30 days, with unlimited mileage. For the vehicle offered, have the total price, insurance, excess, deposit and payment method confirmed. Delivery adds the separately agreed charge. TCS roadside assistance does not replace these insurance details.

Check existing damage, fuel or charge level and the agreed return arrangements together with the person handing over the vehicle. Record its condition in photographs and a handover report. Ask which documents and contacts to use if the car breaks down. These preparation tips do not replace your rental agreement.

Agree the return location, time and required fuel or charge level before the rental starts. Contact us before requesting an extension or change; it is not automatically guaranteed. Before crossing a border, check permitted countries and insurance cover. Clarify additional drivers and cancellation before booking too.
