About Car Hire in Biarritz 

Car hire in Biarritz is an excellent choice as it allows you to explore far and wide at your own pace.

If you're flying in, then take advantage of the numerous reputable car rental agencies operating at Biarritz Pays Basque Airport (BIQ). You'll find the rental desks conveniently located within the terminal, making the process of picking up your vehicle incredibly efficient. It's often easier to book your vehicle in advance as it allows you to compare prices in your own time, as well as ensure availability.

Hiring a vehicle from the airport, despite being more feasible may end up costing slightly more due to the added taxes. Therefore, if you wish to save a few pennies, hiring a car from downtown would be the best option. Use our extensive search engine at Holiday Cars when shopping online and you're sure to find car hires at absolute bargain prices. Reserving your rental car before you leave can mean substantial savings – most international car rental agencies discount standard rates if you reserve ahead for a minimum number of days and pay in advance. For longer trips, consider leasing, which can offer big savings.Your credit card, personal car insurance, or travel insurance may cover your vehicle during your rental. Look it up before you rent, and read the fine print. It could save you $15 to $25 a day on the cost of your car. Don't forget to bring proof of your insurance coverage.

You're spoilt for choice in regards to suppliers – National, Enterprise, Thrifty, Hertz and Sixt are some of the options available. When selecting your vehicle, it's best to select an automatic transmission vehicle for an easier French driving experience.

You will need to purchase a Crit’Air stickers (air quality certificate) from official sources online in order to enter if you don't have the correct vehicle. The zones are marked with signs of a red circle on a white background.
