Armored vehicles for Art Basel

Art Basel is one of the most important fairs in the international art market, held each June at Messe Basel. Galleries from around the world show modern and contemporary works, and collectors, museum directors, curators and advisers come from around the world.

Around the fair, satellite events, private collection visits and dinners fill the evenings. Significant works change hands, and the people involved value privacy as much as access.

During the fair, Basel's hotels are full and chauffeured cars are in short supply. If you travel with an armored vehicle every year, request it as soon as your dates are set.

An early request gives you the widest choice of vehicle class and protection level, and lets us plan your days around VIP opening times and your private appointments.

If you attend every year, tell us which arrangements worked last time: the hotel, the entrance you prefer, the hour you like to arrive. We plan from that.

The driver meets you at EuroAirport or Zurich and stays with you for the fair. Drop-offs and collections at Messe Basel are planned around the opening hours and your appointments, and the vehicle waits nearby.

Basel sits on the French and German borders, so private collections and dinners in Alsace or the Black Forest are easy to add. The vehicle crosses with you on a planned route.

Many collectors also visit the satellite fairs and gallery openings across the city during the same days, and some combine Basel with a stop in Zurich or a private museum visit in the region. Tell us the shape of your week, including the evenings, and the driver builds a timetable that leaves room for the conversations that run longer than planned.
