KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bourg-Saint-Maurice
- Bourg-Saint-Maurice is a commune in the French Alps located just south of Mont Blanc and a popular destination for winter sports. There’s a funicular to transport you to the slopes, otherwise public transport is limited to intercity trains and some local bus routes. Car hire in Bourg-Saint-Maurice offers you convenient options to get around the city and wider alpine region independent of city transport and gives you the freedom to explore other ski retreats at will. Albertville is approx. 52 km from the city centre via N90, while Val d’Isere is situated some 32 km south via D902.
- Its approx. 112 km from Chambery Savoie Mont Blanc Airport to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, so getting a Bourg-Saint-Maurice car hire in advance from one of the airport providers like SIXT, Hertz and Enterprise is a smart decision. The car hire centre is located near Airport Parking and many of them offer shuttle transport for vehicle pick-ups on and off-site. Available vehicle options include economy cars, SUVs and passenger vans, but you’ll need to be at least 21 years of age to get the keys and drive to the city. You should also know that airport providers levy additional charges on drivers below 25 years of age.
- As you prepare to depart the airport be sure all passengers are wearing seatbelts and remember the use of hands-free devices while driving in France is illegal. Drive your car hire in Bourg-Saint-Maurice on the right-side of the road and be mindful of road signs en route. Operating a car hire in France under the influence of drugs or alcohol is forbidden and is potentially fatal to you and others; therefore, drive responsibly and be safe as you go. Also, alpine roads can be tricky to negotiate in extreme weather conditions, so add some extras like snow tyres just in case.
- The D1090 is the primary road for outbound and inbound traffic to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Its junction with D902 approaching the city centre experiences minor congestion in the morning hours between 10am - 12pm as skiers head for the slopes and from 4pm - 6pm when they return. The heart of Bourg-Saint-Maurice is a busy commercial area for locals and visitors alike and witnesses increased pedestrian/vehicular volumes during the peak winter months. Pay attention to road conditions, look out for pedestrians and always drive with caution.
- Book your car hire in Bourg-Saint-Maurice at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
