Mate, if you are driving on the A5 autobahn from Karlsruhe to Basel allow plenty of time ! It is notorious for "stau" (multi mile long traffic jams) you could be lucky but I never have been. Also, be ready to hand over 40 Euros at the Swiss border for a motorway toll, it's a windscreen sticker valid for one year ffs !

Good point about the sticker for anybody travelling by car & using a Swiss motorway. Apply to the Swiss Travel Centre in London (on line service) for a Motorway Vignette, costs £29 (?) & will be sent by post within a couple of days. Bung it on the windscreen. Saves possible delays queueing at the border If you get stopped (very good chance) without one there is a likelihood of a big fine!!!!

One more piece of advice which perhaps Naughtyoungboy can confirm is for those travelling through other European countries i.e Holland/Germany/France is don't bother getting Swiss Francs if you need Euros for those other countries as you can pay for everything in Euros in Bern anyway, o.k. There might be a minimal disadvantage in conversion but far less costly than if you buy Swiss francs and then have to change back to pounds on return.

you may have some trouble paying in small bars and shops, but the big ones take euros, yes.

There might be a minimal disadvantage in conversion

as far as i know, most suppliers of stuff (bars, small shops, etc) operate with a fixed exchange rate. the disadvantage might not that little then.
the big grocery stores adapt the exchange rate every day.

We're hiring a car at Basle airport but it's cheaper in the French side and we were going to get it there then drive into Swiss.

Should we just hire it on the Swiss side??

Will we then avoid this extra charge.

If you hire it on the Swiss side it will definately have the 40 Euro sticker on the windshield already, if you hire it on the French side you should ask if it is included, slight possibility it might. Are you planning on traveling through Europe for a while ? Otherwise just get the train from Basle to Berne, much easier and don't forget that the drink drive limit is a lot lower over there so one pint puts you over and next morning you still over after a few pints after the match.

Thanks, do you have a link for the best place to look at / buy the train tickets?

I assume its in this thread somewhere.
