KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Poitiers
- Using a car hire in Poitiers is the best way to see the city and the surrounding area, as it offers you the freedom to explore it all at your own pace. Not only can you go to wherever you want with your Poitiers car hire, but you can also stay there for as long as you want. You can depart and return without having to take the local public transport timetables into account. This will give you the freedom to explore the neighbouring towns, such as Avanton, or perhaps take a day trip to the Parc Zoologique Bois de Saint Pierre.
- Biard Airport is the closest airport to Poitiers and it has plenty of companies that can offer you a car hire in Poitiers. The airport is host to several companies, such as Sixt, Europcar, Hertz, Enterprise and Dollar, and you can find their branch offices in the main hall of the terminal building after passing through Customs and security. Their opening hours may vary depending on the company so we recommend that you investigate this when you have made your travel arrangements.
- As you are driving in France, you will need to adhere to the French laws of the road, primarily by driving on the right-hand side of the road. You are not allowed to turn right at a red light in France, but you may do so if there is an extra filter light flashing green and giving you permission. Jaywalking is common in Poitiers, so take care when behind the wheel and keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road outside of their designated junctions.
- Poitiers receives both warm weather and rain so try to keep this in mind when renting a car. Check that your car hire in Poitiers has enough coolant liquid to keep the vehicle working smoothly. You should also try and be aware that when it is raining, both your visibility and that of the surrounding people, whether they are pedestrians or drivers, is also reduced. Try and stay calm while driving as French drivers are prone to outbursts of frustration and impatience.
- Book your rental car in Poitiers at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Poitiers are around 58% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
Due to the French rail strike, we had to change our travel plans. What we did not like about our Sixt experience is that we have been unable to get reimbursed from Sixt due to our change of plans travel plans due to the train strike. We never used Sixt services but have been unable to get our money back. We plan on disputing these charges with our credit card.Enterprise Rent-A-Car
