Car hires in Toulouse, Occitanie

Between car parks, parking lots and unused spots that are made available to visitors via the Moby Park app, visitors heading to Toulouse will have a range of parking options available for their economy car rental. The walkability of the city centre is one of the many charming characteristics of the city itself. Opting to explore these walkable spots during rush hours—the times before and after the workday—are a great way to avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic. Outside of those hours, you may want to opt for a luxury car rental in Toulouse and zip over to the stunning town of Albi or the town of Cahors, which is known for its vineyards. Both sites are less than a couple of hour’s drive from Toulouse. Whatever your itinerary, opting for hiring a car in Toulouse will grant you autonomy and the ability to access all the most visit-worthy sites.

Many of the traffic laws within France are similar to those you may find elsewhere in Europe. However, there are a few variances that are worth noting for those who want to secure hired cars in Toulouse. For example, French drinking and driving limits are a bit lower than others; individuals are prohibited from operating a motor vehicle with a BAC—or blood alcohol content—of 0.05% or higher. This is reduced to 0.02% for drivers with under three years of driving experience. Additionally, all people riding in a car must wear a seatbelt and have it properly fastened. All cars must also carry a high-visibility jacket, too, in the event that there is an emergency. On major expressways, drivers will need to take note of posted speeds, especially since the limits on A and B roads have been reduced in recent years. Before heading to the city, it’s best to check with Toulouse’s department of motor vehicles for recent law changes.

Before you secure a rental car in Toulouse you’ll want to be sure you have the appropriate paperwork in place. All drivers must present a government-issued driving license from their home country.

All prospective renters must be at least 18 years of age to rent a car, but as with in other European Union countries, some rental companies may require renters to be at least 21, and younger drivers may find that an incremental young drivers fee is charged per diem for their rental.
