Does it matter which side of Basel airport I rent my car in?

Upvote:5

Last time I was there, it was very easy to go from one side to the other (that's not the case in Geneva for example) and I can't imagine it has become more difficult recently, with Schengen and everything. So you can choose the side that's more convenient for you.

Things to be mindful of:

Swiss motorway vignette: Swiss cars are more likely to have it.
Insurance/regulations: Car hire firms have all sorts of restrictions on border crossing. Switzerland/France is likely to be OK in both directions but do check the terms of the contract.
Customs: If you are importing expensive goods, lots of cash, alcohol, tobacco, etc. crossing the Swiss/French border means more paperwork.

Incidentally, the exchange rate will be unattractive but you could probably also rent a Swiss car and be charged in euros if you wish.
