Basel sits on the border with France and Germany. If you are moving across the border, you can either export your Swiss car and register it in your new country, or sell it here before you go. Our guide to exporting vs selling explains the pros and cons.
Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft are separate cantons with separate road traffic offices. In Basel-Stadt, plates and registration documents are handled by the Motorfahrzeugkontrolle Basel-Stadt; in Basel-Landschaft, by the cantonal road traffic office. Your plates go back to the office of the canton where the car is registered.
After the sale you keep your number plates – move them to your next car or hand them in. Your insurance and vehicle tax stop once the plates are handed in.
It depends on the car and your new country's import rules. Exporting means customs formalities and registering the car again abroad. For many people, selling in Switzerland is simpler – get our free offer first, then compare.
Yes. We buy cars from both Basel cantons and everywhere else in Switzerland, and inspect them at your address for free.
In Basel-Stadt at the Motorfahrzeugkontrolle Basel-Stadt; in Basel-Landschaft at the cantonal road traffic office. Check the official website for current opening hours before you go.
