Avignon car hire

Travelers who are coming to Avignon in the warm summer months could have the most fun when renting a convertible. Renting a smaller car may also be a wise choice because the old city of Avignon is very narrow in many places, and also because petrol is very pricey in Europe. Also remember that stick shifts are commonly used in Europe and renters may have to pay extra for an automatic transmission.

All speed limits are posted in kilometers per hour and within city limits 50 km/h (31 mph) is permitted. Drivers can drive up to 70 km/h (43 mph) on rural roads and up to 130 km/h (80 mph) on freeways. On freeways, stay on the right-hand side, as the left lane is only for passing.

Parking inside the center of Avignon can be a difficult undertaking in the summer, as there are only few spots in the old town. It is better to look for a parking lot outside the walls of the old town, such as St. Charles Lot or L’Oulle. Some of the lots are free for the first few hours before starting to charge, such as the Avenue de la Foire.
