After you have booked your perfect accommodation in the famous Bordeaux wine region, you need a car to get you safely between all the wine farms and great isolated locations you don't want to miss out on. We suggest you reserve a car through one of the companies specialising in car hire at Bordeaux Airport. Booking through KAYAK simplifies finding the best deal. After a fast, convenient pickup from an in-terminal supplier, you are ready to go and find your first wine farm.
Although Bordeaux Airport (BDO) airport is small, there is a large variety of trusted car hire companies to choose from. The advantage of Bordeaux airport car hire is that you won't have to stand in long queues to collect your car, especially if you book a car that allows you to pre-register and pay in advance. Meet and Greet services will meet you in the arrivals lobby or just outside the doors. There are also companies located 10min away that provide a shuttle or airport pickup service, free of charge.
Car hire at Bordeaux Airport has some free added extras like theft protection, a collision damage waiver and insurance for Third Party Liability. However, we still recommend taking out extra insurance (like excess insurance) so you can have a worry-free vacation. Some companies also provide free cancellations or changes to your booking. All the car hire providers offer free 24h breakdown assistance and will replace a broken-down vehicle free of charge.
The car hire companies also provide free value-added services like enhanced cleaning, free cancellations and some insurance coverage, like collision cover.

Where can I find car hire at Bordeaux Airport?
All the car hire companies are located in the public area, located directly outside the arrivals terminal, in the parking lot. All the offices are clearly marked, and it only takes a short 2min walk to get there.
What are the car rental offices' business hours?
Most of the car rental offices have operating hours between 08:30 or 9:30 and 20:00. If you need to collect or return a car before or after these times, you will need to make some arrangements with the companies. If you want to avoid an additional fee, you can choose to wait at one of the lounges or restaurants and enjoy some delicious French food.
I have never rented a car before, what is important to do?
We always suggest that you read the terms and conditions in the paperwork and ask for clarification if you have any doubts. Inspect your vehicle thoroughly for any damage, and preferably with the desk agent. If you find any anomalies, report them immediately so they can add them to the car description. With a limited mileage rental, always keep notes of the miles driven every day, or take pictures. By doing this you have a way to double-check your extra miles invoice. Finally, remember to familiarise yourself with the car and the controls before you start your trip. If you think there might be a problem, or you are not comfortable driving the model, let the company know.
I want an automatic car or an eco-friendly car, are they available?
All the car hire companies have automatic cars, but there are not a lot. Should you need an automatic car, we suggest you book well in advance and confirm it after getting your booking confirmation. Bordeaux is also environmentally friendly, so you can book a hybrid or electric car via one of the providers. It's easy to book through KAYAK. Just select all your search filters, including "zero emissions" or ''hybrid" and you can compare the options.

Thanks for a great hire experience. Very friendly & helpful staff in Bordeaux. Unfortunately there was no person at the desk in Beauvais, on our return. Car was great, better than the booking suggestion 🙂

Terrible divide between corporate and the people who actually rent the cars. Spent hundreds of dollars of our own money for two separate taxis because of a broken down car and we were treated like animals by the manager at Bordeaux airport. Go elsewhere for a rental because if something wrong happens it's a bit of a nightmare.

The car i booked was not in parking area, so i was offered to change. I've chosen Tesla Y. I was said it could cost maybe 50€ per day more. Finally i paid 3 times more that initial booking price at Expedia - 1420€ vs 480€. I spent a whole hour in talkings. Finally my wife get nervous. So i agreed the new offer. But i was forced to do so

Pros:

Unfortunately, I had to cancel my reservation due to COVID 19 restrictions. Though the company claimed they gave full refunds if cancelled prior to the reservation date when I tried to cancel the reservation online the website would not allow me to do so. I contacted their customer service and was told I could only do that 20 days before my reservation date I said this was unacceptable as that is not stated in the contract. He said he would put it through yet I recieved an email in early April asking me did I still want to cancel and if yes I would get my refund. This was at least 1 month after my cancellation. Then on the 2nd of April I received this email Dear Customer, We’ve received your request to cancel your booking. Your refund will be processed in 20 business days. Get more to spend on your next trip We know travel plans have been disrupted by Covid-19. If you are going to rebook your trip in the future, opt for a voucher instead and we’ll give you up to 25% extra. For example if your original booking was €200 we’ll give you a voucher for €250.

It was probably the worst experience in renting a car. The manager was trying to up charge, so from 168 originally booked at Kayak the final price became 570. We ended up walking away

The location of the Hertz rental agency in Bordeaux Gare St Jean does not have enough signs for the parking garage ( circled about 2-3 times) and for the location of the office. Please get signs and provide exact directions to the parking garage. Thank you.

Charged me $130 to clean the car at drop off. Over years and years, I’ve never been charged for cleaning. Had I known, I would have pulled off and vacuumed it myself for $5. Didn’t want to miss my flight, or I’d have done it. The staff were great, but the cleaning fee is completely out of the ordinary.

Roadside assistance is pretty much contactable. Simply awful. Avoid them like the plague. The eclectic smart cars have 90km range which is clearly useless and not identified before I hired the car. Use anyone else you can
