KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin
- The choice of a vehicle hire gives you more flexibility with your travel plans than if you choose an alternative mode of transport like a train or bus. This is due to the fact that you can leave whenever you want and you don’t have to abide by the public transport schedule. For example, if you want to drive a car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin to the town of Valognes, this will take about 21min in total. Making the same journey by train takes about 31min, but also requires you to stick to the train timetable.
- Cherbourg Airport (CER) doesn’t have any car hire agencies in the terminal, but you will be able to get a Cherbourg-en-Cotentin car hire from the city centre. The best way to get to the car hire agencies is to take a taxi from the front of the Arrivals Hall, which takes around 14min. You will then find companies like Avis and Europcar at the train station and Enterprise on Rue du Val de Saire.
- For those that opt to hire a car, you will see that the town is very busy with tourists, especially those waiting to catch their ferry to the UK. Whilst there are pedestrian crossings you’ll find that people don’t always use these, so you should drive your car hire carefully when in the town. As with the rest of France, cycling is a big part of the culture, so you should always check your mirrors before you turn to ensure a cyclist isn’t at risk.
- The town centre can be very busy when you drive your car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, which is often due to the ferries that depart from here to the UK. So if possible, you shouldn’t drive a couple of hours before a ferry is due to depart as you may get stuck in traffic. The rush hour period in his town, which is normally between 7AM to 9AM and 5PM to 7PM, is also a particularly busy time of the day and should be avoided if possible. The D900 is one road that can get especially busy as it leads off to the ferry terminal. So, if you need to travel this way it is advised to find an alternative route.
- Book your car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Friendly staff at the counterCons:
It took 25 minutes to get the car, even though we were the only customers. It took another 15 minutes to turn the car in, because we were waiting on another customer. This was in France, and I know things take longer over there, but it was frustrating to know you had to get the car back early (from a day exploring the D-Day beaches) because you expected delays. I think this office in Cherbourg could do much better business if they catered to the cruise boat passengers parked at the dock just 1 mile away. The price was double of a similar car in the U.S. and the car was dirty when we got it.10,0 Wonderful
