About Renting a Car at Mulhouse Airport

EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (MLH) is a unique trinational airport with a total of 13 rental agencies on-site, giving you one of the region's best selections of rental car options. The airport is 22 km southwest of Mulhouse and 8 km from Basel, making it a perfect starting point for a trip to Alsace, northern Switzerland, or Baden-Württemberg. Pickups are available directly at the arrivals terminal.

EuroAirport serves three countries and has separate French and Swiss sectors in the terminal. The airport lies in the heart of the Alsace plain, surrounded by the Rhine River and with the Black Forest visible to the east. Basel center is reached in 15 minutes and Mulhouse in 25 minutes via the A36 motorway.

Choose a rental agency with a station in the French sector if you plan to stay in France – this simplifies any potential insurance issues. Book your car in advance during summer when the airport is a popular starting point for Alsace road trips. Drive Route des Vins from Mulhouse north toward Strasbourg for a classic Alsatian experience.

How do I get from EuroAirport to Mulhouse center? By rental car it takes approximately 25 minutes via A36. There is also an airport bus that runs to Mulhouse train station in about 30 minutes.

Can I pick up a car in the Swiss sector and drive in France? Yes, but make sure your rental agreement covers driving in both countries. Many rental agencies offer this at no extra cost when booking via EuroAirport.
