  IIf you are thinking about how to save some money, select the pick-up time alike drop-off time. Every car rental service takes money for a full day of rental, so when you take a vehicle for 25 hours, you have to pay for 48 hours (2 full days) of rental, and 74 hours will cost you as 96 hours (4 full days).

• The first thing you should pay attention to when Renting a car in Basel is which size of a vehicle you need. This decision depends on how many passengers are going to travel with you and, of course, the total amount of baggage. There are many different types and models of vehicles, so you will easily find an appropriate one. However, you should also know that each car has its conditionally assigned number of allowed suitcases. You don’t have to pay for every piece of baggage, but only one unit of hand luggage for every person is regarded as a handbag and doesn’t count. All other suitcases are considered as baggage and must fit the declared capacity of a vehicle. If you travel with more than 5 passengers, our Basel car rental service advises you to hire 2 vehicles of the standard class instead of 1 multi-seater car. It will more likely reduce the total cost for your car rental Basel contract and appear as a more convenient way of travel.
• The safety of your child is also an important issue. We pay much attention to this fact. That’s why our cheap car rentals in Basel for suppose affordable prices for equipping a rental auto with a child seat.

It can save you money but will require additional hands. All the information related to this option can be obtained from your air service provider. One more handy option is to purchase such a seat at the supermarket on arrival. Do not neglect this important fact and you will not just protect your kid from danger but also will avoid quite hefty fines.
• If you plan to cross the border or to use a ferry during your car rental Basel journey, pay close attention to the paragraph of the rental conditions associated with this option. Some rental companies allow their customers to travel across the board, while others accept only a ferry transit. You should know that not all of the offered vehicles arу available for such purposes. That’s why it is also very important to inform a car hire Basel provider about your intentions before buying tickets for the ferry. The provider, in turn, will give you the information about the cars, which are allowed for this kind of travel.
• Money-saving tip. Our service advises you to check out the fuel policy of your car rental Basel contract before signing it. There are various offers with various conditions related to this feature. Sometimes you can see a “pick-up full and return empty” option, which is not always beneficial.

These conditions are set individually by each car hire company and can be found in the description of any offer. There are 4 different types of available options: pick-up and return full, pick-up full and return empty, pick-up and return half-empty, pick-up half-full and return empty.
• Use the most advantageous car hire Basel pick-up option. We recommend our customers to choose the “Meet and Greet” opportunity, which appears as the most convenient one.

By default, you’re usually obliged to leave a deposit for your rental contract. In most cases, a rental provider holds a necessary sum of money on your credit card until you return a car. This sum of money won’t be fully or partially refunded in case of an insured event. This deposit is also called the Excess Fee. More detailed information about this feature is clearly described in the FAQ about Excess Fee and Excess Fee Reduction). Read this paragraph carefully to see which options can reduce this fee. It is very important to see the actual amount of the required deposit for your car rental years old in Basel deal. In some cases, you will meet low rental costs but will have to pay a high Excess Fee or vice versa. We advise you to figure out the total cost of your contract, including this deposit before placing a firm order.

In some situations, you get higher or lower car rental in Basel costs. In other cases, you can even get a refusal from some providers. Here is one of the common examples. The USA citizens usually get their offers without Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Third Party Liability Protection (TP). However, you can not hire an uninsured auto. So, if a customer will choose one of such offers and rent a car Basel vehicle at mentioned terms not paying attention to the absence of insurance, he finally faces the requirement to pay extra money to purchase one.
