The Key to a Smooth Pickup: Understanding the French Sector

The most important thing to know about EuroAirport is that it has two separate sectors: one for Switzerland (Basel, BSL) and one for France (Mulhouse, MLH). Since you booked your car for pickup at MLH, you absolutely must exit into the French sector.

After you pass through immigration and collect your luggage from the baggage claim carousel, you will come to a customs exit. You will see signs pointing to two different exits: one for Switzerland and one for France.

Crucial Step

Follow the signs for France, marked "Secteur Français" or with the French flag. Exiting into the wrong sector will lead you to the Swiss car rental desks, where you will not be able to find your booking.

Your Path to the Rental Desks: Step-by-Step Directions

Look for Overhead Signs
After exiting customs into the arrivals hall, look up for the overhead signs.
Follow the Car Rental Signs
Follow the clear pictograms and signs that read "Location de Voitures / Car Rental."
Head to Hall 1, Level 2
The car rental desks are all conveniently grouped together in a dedicated area located in Hall 1 on Level 2 (the arrivals level).
Find Your Rental Company
You will see the familiar logos of all the major rental companies clustered in one central location, making it simple to find the counter for the company listed on your QEEQ booking voucher.
