Armored car hire in Basel

Each June, Art Basel brings collectors, museum directors, dealers and advisers to Messe Basel for the most concentrated week in the art market's calendar. Private dinners, gallery visits and openings run late into the evening across the city.

If you plan to attend, request as soon as your dates are confirmed. Our Art Basel page has the dates and explains how we plan transfers to the fair.

Outside the fair, the city's museums and private collections draw collectors throughout the year, and their visits are planned in the same way.

Basel is home to global pharmaceutical and chemical companies, whose campuses and towers line the Rhine. Outside the art season, the vehicle serves executive visits, board meetings and investor days at these sites.

The old town rises above the river, with narrow streets and limited access for cars. The driver plans set-down points that keep walks short and waiting positions that do not block the trams.

A day at the large pharmaceutical campuses can be split between two or three sites in the city and across the border, which is why the driver plans each crossing in advance rather than on the day.

EuroAirport sits in France, with a road connection to the Swiss sector. Alsace and its wine villages lie to the west, and the Black Forest and Freiburg to the north in Germany. A day's programme can easily touch all three countries.

The vehicle can cross borders with you on a planned route. Zurich is about an hour away by motorway, and Frankfurt is reachable for a longer programme.
