KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Le Havre
- Opt for a car hire in Le Havre, which will allow you to explore the city and its environs. Hiring a car gives you the freedom to not only tour around the city but also visit some scenic sites, such as Pasino du Havre, and then have a roughly 3 km drive to Le Havre Beach for a relaxing ocean experience, without worrying about the time you will leave to catch a bus. Also, you can decide to take about an 8min drive to Le Havre Cathedral, which would have taken you around 20 minutes using public transport.
- If you are arriving at Paris Beauvais-Tille Airport (BVA), Caen Carpiquet Airport (CFR) or Deauville St Gatien Airport (DOL), you need not worry about Le Havre car hire, as there will be many options at the airport to help you out. If you use Paris Beauvais-Tille Airport, Avis, Budget and Europcar offer shuttle services to off-airport locations. At Caen Carpiquet Airport, be sure to find Avis or Europcar waiting to serve you at the arrivals. Europcar and Hertz have people at Deauville St Gatien Airport, who will give you information on where to pick up the cars.
- It is important to note that motorists using car hire in Le Havre drive on the right. Roads in Le Havre are relatively in good condition. Thus, you shouldn’t find it hard driving yourself around. Also, remember to follow traffic rules and be cautious of other motorists. It is worth mentioning that the city has several car parks, which are open 24 hours. Some roads have toll stations, where you will be paying to use the roads. You should consult with your car hire company concerning the toll process.
- If you are from a country that drives on the left side, you may find it challenging to drive on the right. Another setback you will likely experience is signboards and road signs that are written in French; thus, you might take a long time trying to interpret them. Another challenge is driving during snow conditions; therefore; plan accordingly before opting for car hire in Le Havre.
- Book your car hire in Le Havre at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
