KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Nantes

  • There is lots of history and culture to explore in Nantes such as the Dobree Museum, Jardin des Plantes, Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, and Nantes Cathedral. With a hire car you can visit all of the attractions while also enjoying a picturesque drive along the coast to beach resorts like Pornic or Le Croisic.
  • Nantes Airport is a short drive from Bouguenais and offers both domestic and international flights. Although it is not a very large airport, it provides everything you’ll need for a comfortable trip. This includes quick access to hire car agencies like Sixt, Enterprise, Thrifty, and Hertz. Most of the agencies have desks right inside the airport and those who don’t provide a shuttle to their off-site locations.
  • Nantes has strict driving laws so you’ll want to be very careful and cautious when you are driving there. For one thing, don’t get distracted. Eating, texting, talking on the phone (without a headset), or applying makeup while driving are all illegal behavior in France. Additionally, speed traps are not uncommon around Nantes, so be alert and always prepared to slow down.
  • A pretty big city, Nantes’ metro area can have some hectic traffic. It is especially busy around the downtown area during the morning and evening commutes. Consequently, you’ll want to avoid driving around the center of the city from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the morning and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the evening.
  • Compact rental cars in Nantes are around 22% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Nantes

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Nantes?

    Because you will often be driving on the highway, you can rent any vehicle you’d prefer. A sports car, luxury vehicle, or convertible might be a fun choice for your Nantes vacation. However, a compact car might be your best bet because of the cost of petrol in France. Some common cars driven around the area include the Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen, and Nissan.

  • What’s the speed limit in Nantes?

    You’ll travel mostly on the motorways during your vacation. The speed limit on these major highways is between 80 km (49.70 mph) and 110 km (68 mph). If you happen to be in a residential neighborhood, be sure to drop your speed to 30 km (18 mph). You’ll always need to adjust speeds in inclement weather.

  • Where are the best places to park in Nantes?

    You will likely have to pay to park your hire car in downtown Nantes. However, many hotels offer free parking for guests. If this is not your situation, consider leaving your car at a parking lot such as Parking Feydeau or NGE Commerce Public Park (a parking garage in the center of downtown). Valet public parking services are also available at the Nantes Train Station.

Located not too far from the Railway Station. Friendly staff. Always nice car, this time I had a Peugeot 2008. Managed to refuel at a very convenient Carrefour gas station just 1 km away.
