Cheap AVIS Car Hire in Basel

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like AVIS in Basel. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Basel, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.
