KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Périgueux
- Car hire in Perigueux offers a wonderful opportunity to visit this department of Dordogne that has roots tracing back to the times of Roman occupation in France. You can spend your days visiting places like the Vesunna Gallo-Roman Museum and make your way to the pedestrian zone and wander through Rue Limogeanne. You could even get in the car and take a leisurely drive through to Bordeaux, less than 2 hours away. You can do all of this without trying to figure out the local public transport or spending hefty amounts on local taxis.
- Although there isn't an airport in Perigueux, Bergerac Dordogne Perigord Airport (EGC) is a nearby international airport that's likely to be your arrival and departure point. This airport has several companies for car hire in Perigueux operating from its Arrivals hall. It's wise to arrange your vehicle through KAYAK to avoid availability issues. The company will then have a representative meet you in the Arrival hall, escort you to your vehicle and give you the keys.
- Driving your car hire in Perigueux can be challenging at times. The town is rather small and easily walkable, with several pedestrian areas. You'll need to observe the rules of the road and drive below the speed limit to be safe. Be aware of pedestrian streets and people walking on these roads. Stick to driving on the outskirts of the town and walk the inner streets to see the things you want, and drive on the right-hand side of the road.
- A difficult thing about driving your Perigueux car hire is the narrow roads, which can take a lot of getting used to. There isn't much traffic in the town, but the streets are small and better suited to walking. There are also a few pedestrian streets, which you aren't allowed to drive through. If you're used to driving in Australia, driving on the right-hand side of the road can take some getting used to and is worth keeping in mind. On the outskirts and between other cities and towns, the roads can be quite windy while still being narrow, so it'll require your full attention.
- Book your car hire in Périgueux at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini hire cars in Périgueux are around 8% cheaper than other car types, on average

The streets in and around the town are well maintained, but they are more narrow than many would expect. A smaller, more compact model is a better choice and makes navigating the streets and finding parking a little easier. If you're travelling with a larger group or you can't get a small model, aim for an SUV that's thinner than others. If you can get away with a standard sedan, that should be easy enough to navigate the streets with.

The main countryside roads and urban roads have a speed limit of 90 km/h in most areas and 80 km/h in others; you'll need to look out for the signs. When you're inside the town, you can't exceed 50 km/h. Other parts of the town may have a limit of 30 km/h.
Where are the best places to park in Perigueux?
If you're in the town centre and parking on the street by parking meters, you can generally park for free for the first 3 hours and then be charged in 15min increments from then on.
