Brittany car hire

Whilst public transport in Brittany ranges, from the use of trains, coaches, buses, the metro, trams to boats, hiring a car is purely a more convenient and easy option. With a good network of roads, all roads are suitable for a large number of vehicles, making driving a stress-free experience. Hiring a car also allows you to explore Brittany with no time restrictions and enjoy some of the top attractions at your own free will. Just some of these attractions in Brittany include Cap Frehel, Alignements de Carnac, Musee des Beaux-Arts, Oceanopolis, Grand Aquarium Saint Malo, Point du Raz as well as many more.

Driving in Brittany is extremely simple and is easy to navigate for even the newest of drivers. Brittany currently stands as the only region within France that does not have a motorway, meaning there are no motorway tolls that need to be paid. You will find that the roads have an efficient network of dual carriageways with a maximum speed limit of 110 km/h (68 mph). This helps make all driving extremely easy and stress free. Drivers in France drive on the right-hand side of the road, meaning that your wheel will be located on the left-hand side of the car. Make sure to always give way to those on the left when you approach upcoming roundabouts and always proceed with caution.

Drivers will usually find that age requirements tend to differ depending on which provider they choose. The common minimum age for vehicle hire in Brittany is 25 years old; however, you will find a select few companies that will serve those aged 21 or 23 years and above. If you fall in the under-25 bracket, expect to face an additional sub charge, also known as a young driver’s handling fee. Whilst requirements may vary, you will also usually find that you will need to have held your licence for at least one year. Specific reservation types, like van hire and luxury car hire, are usually also age restricted.
