Car rental at Nantes Atlantique Airport

The offices for rental cars at Nantes Atlantique Airport can be found just outside the building, on the esplanade by the car parks. As soon as you exit the Arrivals area of the building, you will see the signs for the rental car companies directing you outside. There is a bus station between the airport and the rental car office, so depending on where you exit the airport you may see that directly in front, and the car rental offices behind. If you simply head towards the car park, you will see the rental company signs to indicate you’ve found the offices.

Depending on your plans and personal preference, you will find many options when it comes to car hire at Nantes Atlantique Airport. France’s narrow, winding roads may suit a compact rental car, as larger SUVs or vans may make you feel uncomfortable on unfamiliar roads that have not been designed for bigger vehicles. Particularly in the city areas with more traffic, parking a larger vehicle is more difficult than something compact. If however you are traveling in a large group or family, or venturing further into nature rather than sticking to the cities, then a van or SUV may be what you need.

You will always need to provide your full, valid driver’s license for any car rental. In France you may also need to provide an International Driving Permit, and this will be indicated when booking your hire car. Usually rental car companies will also require that you have had your license for at least one year and meet a minimum age requirement of 21. The age requirement can vary between companies, and most will also apply an additional fee to young drivers. You will also need to provide a valid credit card in your name for full costs of your booking.
