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

Driving in Le Havre is similar to United States. The car came with Google Maps. It was very helpful to navigate around Le Havre.

If driving to Paris, pre-book parking to save time, stress, and searching for street parking.
Verified travelerAug 2023
If arriving on a cruise ship, as we did, I would probably find a rental agency at the airport. In any case be sure to think about getting back your next transportation.

I would have liked to know that the Hertz store in Le Havre was closing early on December 31st. I would have liked more help when I requested road side service from Hertz. I was unaware that I would be charged a 130 Euros for an intercity fee on top of the price I was quoted during the online reservation.

Ridiculous opening times! Useless for business use (lunch break 12-14, morning opening at 9:00 , NO possibility to drop off car before agency opens. No possibility to drop off car at Octeville airport, not even for a fee. It seems that customer service is completely alien concept. Staff friendly enough but don’t really care.

The company was closed at our reserved pickup time. When we called a near by location they gave cancelled our reservation because they could contact me by phone… probably because I was on the plane at that time.
