KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Toulouse
- A car hire is the most comfortable and efficient way not only to explore the city of Toulouse, but also the surrounding region of Southern France. A car will let you tour the city's main attractions, including the Capitole and Saint-Sernin Basilica, at your own pace. It is also the perfect way to cruise freely to other destinations, such as the Pyrenees Mountains or the famous Languedoc Roussillon wine region.
- All the big car hire agencies, including Hertz, Europcar, and Avis, can be found at Toulouse Blagnac Airport (TLS), which is located 3.6 miles northwest of the city center. Most of the car hire companies are situated in Hall C of the Arrivals terminal, while Sixt is located in Hall B. You can easily walk between the different halls.
- Driving in Toulouse is very straightforward, just remember the signs will be expressed in kilometers rather than in miles. The freeway system in the region is also easy to navigate, and it connects major cities. Although you don't need an International Driving Permit (IDP), it's best if you carry one with you. It's easy to obtain and it might come in handy if you get involved in a fender bender.
- Traffic in Toulouse is usually easy to cope with, but it does get a little heavier during rush hours, so avoid driving around between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., and then again between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., so you don't add extra time to your travels – particularly if you're heading to the airport. Traffic also gets more congested during the holiday season, as the Pyrenees are quite popular among winter sports lovers.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Toulouse for S$ 501 or less
- Book your rental car in Toulouse at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Toulouse are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
The car was great.Cons:
I rarely rent cars so this may be common knowledge, but when they say you dont need to return the car with a full tank of petrol, you should still do it. Hertz charged me themselves on a per litre basis to a full tank, then added an extra 20% fee on top. They should have advised me this on pick up!10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff were super helpful & efficient. Particularly Brian @ Drop OffCons:
I had tried to get a smaller automatic car but apparently there is only one Golf @ Toulouse. I come several times a year - is it possible to reserve the only one ?4.4 Mediocre

Pros:
The car drove nicely and got good gas mileageCons:
The Hertz rental page I selected on line showed a picture of a small van to accommodate seven adults, but the actual car was a very small station wagon which was extremely cramped and with absolutely zero space for luggage. Extremely misleading.Sixt

Pros:
Brand new, 80km, Skoda Fabia. One way drop-off from Toulouse to Bordeaux.Cons:
This is the first time we have used Sixt - having hired almost 50 cars from Toulouse airport over the years . We booked to collect the car from the airport which was confirmed on the initial booking but then without our knowledge, changed to a town pick-up on the final confirmation 2 days before pick-up - it took 3 emails to get it put right. The price was quoted in £ but invoiced in Euros - if we had known that we would have saved bank exchange charges by using a Euro bank account rather than a Sterling account. On our return we found that they had credited our account with the hire charge only to then take it again, incurring further exchange charges - the reason being, although we weren't told at the time, that we had used a different credit card for the security deposit to the one used for the original booking. 3 further emails but no apology or offer to re-imburse the extra bank charges - just an arrogant conceit on behalf of both Sixt France and Sixt UK that 'Sixt is right, the customer is wrong'. Decent cars let down by sloppy administration and unhelpful staff.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Very unclear insurance policy. I had to pay more than double the rental price to get just a basic insurance. I couldn’t get a clear explanation at pick up of the insurance I got, and it was not possible to modify the contract online to understand the insurance policy or to add an insurance.Alamo
