Blurent in Switzerland: Basel as the only gateway
For Switzerland, Blurent shows only one departure city in our data: Basel, on the Rhine, where the country meets France and Germany. The urban area spills over into all three countries, and the exact handover address is sent to you with the booking: check which side of the border it is on before planning your arrival. No Swiss Blurent offers appear in our surveys yet; models, included kilometres and excess are therefore revealed offer by offer.
This Rhine city puts the centre of the country within easy driving distance. Zurich, Lucerne and Bern are all less than an hour and a half’s drive away, and the Bernese Oberland with Lakes Thun and Brienz about two hours. To the west, the ridges of the Jura and the pastures of the Franches-Montagnes offer peaceful stages, away from the main roads.
Driving in Switzerland takes some preparation: a vignette for the motorways, a special charge above 3.5 tonnes, Alpine passes closed for part of the year, and customs at every entry, as the country remains outside the European Union.
Our view: an option worth considering if your trip starts in Basel or in southern Alsace and you are heading for the Swiss Plateau or the Bernese Alps. With a single city and no prices recorded to date, weigh it up against McRent or BlackSheep, also present in Switzerland, for your dates.

Our view
Blurent: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

- You are heading for Lucerne, Bern and the Bernese Oberland in around ten days
- You plan to combine Switzerland with the neighbouring Black Forest or Alsace
Blurent is not ideal if…

Practical tips
Our tips for booking with Blurent
-
Cross the passes in the right season
Grimsel, Furka, Susten and Nufenen are generally only open from late spring to autumn, depending on snow cover. Outside this period, the Lötschberg and Furka car-carrying trains take vehicles through the mountains, within their size limits: check the motorhome’s height before turning up for loading.
-
Give way to PostBuses
On a narrow mountain road, the vehicle going uphill normally has priority. On postal roads marked by a yellow sign with a post horn, the PostBuses go first: be ready to pull over, or even reverse to a wider spot.
-
Be prepared for customs
Schengen removes systematic identity checks, but Switzerland keeps its own customs. A check is therefore still possible at the border post, and maximum quantities apply to meat, alcohol and tobacco carried. Keep the vehicle papers and the rental agreement close at hand.

How much does a Blurent hire cost from Basel?

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Blurent motorhome hire in Switzerland
Which vignette do you need for a motorhome in Switzerland?
Up to 3.5 tonnes, an annual vignette gives access to motorways and expressways; the electronic version is linked to the number plate. Above this weight, a flat-rate heavy vehicle charge replaces it. Ask at the handover point whether the vehicle already has one before taking the motorway.
Can you spend the night anywhere in Switzerland?
No. Each canton, sometimes each municipality, sets its own rules, and many ban overnight stays outside campsites or designated motorhome areas. Plan your stops in advance, especially around the lakes and in the Oberland in summer, when sites fill up quickly.
How do you book Blurent in Switzerland on CoolDrive?
Run a search from Basel for your dates: Blurent offers appear, mandatory fees included, alongside those of Anywhere Campers, McRent or BlackSheep. Once the booking is made, our experts help you agree the handover location and time.
