KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cahors
- Cheap car hire in Cahors is the ultimate way to enjoy this picturesque small town in France, nestled on the Lot River. An area famous for rich food, heady wines and Medieval architecture, there is still so much about Cahors that holds onto history and culture from yesteryear, making it one of the most beautiful places to explore by car. Take in the Port Valentré bridge, which is a UNESCO Heritage Site, the stunning Cathédrale St-Étienne and drive to nearby vineyards and small medieval-era villages of the Lot Valley. Surrounding areas of beauty are best reached with your own vehicle, as the small town does not provide public transportation beyond the centre. If you want to take your car hire out on the highway, you can reach Toulouse in just over an hour via the RN20 and A20.

Pros:
Nothing!Cons:
We were never notified that Hertz's Cahors office was closing. Rather Hertz moved the reservation to an auto repair garage Hertz was using in a City 1 1/2 hours away. We ultimately spent $150 for a cab to drive us to where the reserved car was located. Then had to argue with Hertz over the phone to reimburse us for the cab fare. They refused to reimburse us for the $25 in phone charges spent on efforts to get our car. This ruined our day. Hertz provided zero support in assisting us.keddy by Europcar
