The train is very expensive unless you get some type of pass. But a pass may be worth it. A car rent

I will be in Basel with my family. Any suggestions on how to rent a car? We will use it to drive to Bern and up to get close to Jungfrau. The train seems very expensive for the 4 of us. Our 2 Swiss friends may join us, too. Also, we plan to take day trips into Germany and France. I was planning to rent a car for one day. Looking at train fares, it may be better to rent a car for 3 days. Any ideas would be helpful.
The train is very expensive unless you get some type of pass. But a pass may be worth it. A car rental for less than a week tends to be quite expensive too, but being in Basel, check if French prices are cheaper than Swiss prices; you would pick the car up on the French side of the airport.
I was looking milford plaza hotel new york into renting a car in Basel and the least expensive option was taking the train or bus down to Mulhouse, France. It is about 30 km from the BSL airport and there is a rental place very close to the train station milford plaza hotel new york in Mulhouse, walkable, milford plaza hotel new york at least the Hertz office is. It appears you don't pay the extra fee for picking up a car at a train station. You might have to pay for the sticker to drive in Switzerland but you can try to get a vehicle with a valid sticker.
Taking into account the cost of the bus fare, 15 per person as I remember? I had considered milford plaza hotel new york it when picking a car up in Basel but decided that the cost would pretty much even out the 30+ for the airport pick-up.
