KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bergerac
- If you’re considering car hire in Bergerac, it is certain to be a smart choice. You’ll be able to take advantage of a car to explore the south-west part of France and sights such as Chateau de Monbazillac. To reach it, drive to the crest of the slope on the banks of the Dordogne River. Here you can enjoy wine-tasting at the area's acclaimed vineyard, or if you prefer something more outdoorsy, you can rent a canoe and paddle down the river itself. Gabarres de Bergerac tours are also well worth getting to the river front in the city and take barge tours. There’s also a lake nearby that you can drive out to, Lac de Pombonne.
- Airport Bergerac Dordogne Périgord is where you’ll land when you fly into the city. Hertz, Enterprise, Europcar and Sixt are all available there, inside the terminal building. Once you’ve sorted out your arrangements there, the car park is right outside as you exit the terminal, just a short walk across the road. It will then take you roughly 10min or so to drive from the airport to the city centre after you have taken care of your car hire in Bergerac.
- If you’re not used to driving on cobbled streets, then it might take a little while to get used to driving in Bergerac, as there are several in the city. The roads may also be a little narrower than you’re used to. If you’re using a hire car in Bergerac, you’ll need to watch out for cyclists as well – not only the modern fitness types, but also those who still observe this very traditional French mode of transport. There is also quite a lot of pedestrian traffic, especially in the centre of the city, so be careful when driving on roads like Rue de Resistance.
- Bergerac can become pretty congested at rush hour times, with the build-up starting at around 07:30 and peaking roughly an hour later. In the evenings you can expect traffic to slow from around 16:00 and to be in the middle of rush hour at around 17:00. The worst affected streets are the main road through the city, Rue de Resistance, Rue de Chateau and the area around Rue des Fontaines. One of the main shopping thoroughfares, Rue du Mourier also sees quite a lot of traffic at peak times as well.
- Book your rental car in Bergerac at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about renting a car in Bergerac
What type of car is recommended for driving in Bergerac?
You’re without a doubt better off choosing a smaller car when visiting Bergerac, at least if you’re intending to spend a lot of time in the city itself. The combination of traffic, pedestrians and cyclists on often narrow streets makes a compact city car a more logical choice than a larger saloon model. It’s a bit of a different matter if you’re going to be exploring the renowned Bordeaux wine region surrounding the city. In that case, the roads are good, and you can get yourself something a lot roomier, like a family saloon or an MPV. Alternatively, you could live the French driving dream in a sports car or convertible.

Dropoff location in Bergerac was not signed/identified and there was no staff to help on site. Dropoff at the train station needs much clearer instructions as to where to park the vehicle and where to drop off the keys.7.2 Good
