Driving in Basel: What to expect on the road
Documents you'll need Bring your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Basel. Most travellers can use their regular driving licence. If your licence isn’t in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your ID matches your booking details. |
Navigating city driving Basel has clear signs and simple routes across the city. Driving is easy on main roads, though old-town streets are narrow and shared with trams. Navigation apps help you avoid restricted streets and guide you to bridges, museums and river areas. |
