We are flying from Bristol to Basel Mulhouse Freiburg airport in August.
Out easyjet tickets say "check-in Swiss sector" for both onward and return journey.
We plan to hire a car from the airport and drive to Frieburg for a few days of black Forrest exploration. Then drive down to Switzerland (may be Grindelwald/Lauterbrennan) for few days before heading back to the UK.
My question is
1. Do we hire a car from a company which has a counter on the Swiss side of the airport? Then drive into Switzerland and find our way into Germany (towards Freiburg)?
2. Or is it better to hire a car from a company which has a counter on the French side and drive to Freiburg? Is it possible for us to get to the French sector on exit within the airport?
3. If we are able to get the car from the French side, what do we do when we return the car at the end of our trip? Can we return it on the Switzerland side? If not, is it difficult to get to the French side from Grindelwald?
What would people suggest?
