Car Rental Bordeaux City Centre

Bordeaux City Centre has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

• Head to Limoges for an excellent sightseeing experience. About 110 miles from Bordeaux City Centre, it has numerous cool sights like Limoges Cathedral.
• Located 95 miles away, La Rochelle is also a favorite with wanderers. Set aside time to get to La Rochelle Hotel de Ville while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.
• La Baule Beach is located 190 miles from Bordeaux City Centre and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in France, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
