KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cluses
- An absolutely beautiful part of France nestled in the Arve Valley along the Arve river, Cluses is a magical, must-see commune of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. With many wonders being inaccessible with public transport, cheap car hire in Cluses is one sure way to get the best possible holidaying experience. Drive along the Northern Alps ridges, where no public transportation reaches, and admire the alpine views and roaming wildlife. Or enjoy the attractions of the area without worrying about bus or train schedules, such as the historical watch-making Musée de l'Horlogerie et du Décolletage, the Caves of Cerdon and Prehistoric Leisure Park and the centuries-old Pont Vieux bridge. Enjoy world-class cheese and wines and if visiting in July, make sure you check out the folk and rock music festival, Musiques en Stock.
- You will find many choices for cheap car hire in Cluses at Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS), based under 2 hours away via the A43 and A41 motorways. In Terminal 1 and 2, you can find companies such as SIXT, National, Virtuo, Budget, Hertz, Europcar and others. Hire your accessories, such as a GPS and snow chains, before you drive off the lot.
- With your car hire in Cluses you will find that although the rules are similar to the UK, you will find the landscape will be quite different. Roads range from very wide in places to windy with sharp bends on the mountains. Be aware that cyclists are drawn to the area for the trails and the views, and Cluses has a very prolific cycling tourist community. They tend to be on the roads very often and must always be considered. You will drive on the right-hand side of the road and need to observe a blood alcohol limit of no more than 0.05%. Roads are well-signed and in great condition, but only use your horn in emergencies, as this is not favoured in smaller French areas.
- With your Cluses car hire, the challenges will mostly come in the form of weather. Being at the foot of the Alps means snow – and plenty of it in the winter. If you are planning on visiting in winter, you will need to get snow chains or tyres, and drive incredibly carefully around the mountains. Watch out for live animals such as free-roaming buck in your path, and always make sure you drive with your headlights on in winter. While conventional traffic shouldn’t affect you, droves of cyclists could also clog up roads on race days. If you are confident driving on winding mountain roads, you will have a blast in Cluses. In the centre of the town, it is much flatter and easy to navigate.
- Book your car hire in Cluses at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hire in Cluses are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
Good morning, so before i start to ask you how we will handle this situation, I will tell you my situation from yesterday: I booked a car on Sunday evening via kayak.com for 15 days and went to the station in Cluses, France to pick it up there one day later on Monday. It took me more then two hours with the bus and train and I had to pay 9€ for the drive which was (at that moment) OK for me. When I came to the renting center and asked for my car, the lady told me "just a small thing Mrs. Bair, your car only has summer tires". At the first moment I thought this woman makes a joke. It is snowing since more then a week through here in the French alps and in Megéve where I live for the winter is completely snow roadway. Also it was written nowhere, when I booked the car on the i ternet. So i kindly asked her if she has snow chains and she couldn't even offer me this. After that I asked which car she has which has winter tires on and she told me the next car will be availeble in 3 days (where I already will be working in Megéve because it was on my free day where I wanted to pick up the car) so the only option I had was either risking my life with a car with summer tires in the snowy alps in mid of december or cancel the reservation. But due to the fact that I am not suicidal, I decided to cancel my reservation. So I had to drive home to Megéve again for another 9€ bus and train costs and already paid my renting car insurance for 130€. I coulnd't even reach them yesterday in America to cancel it and also paid 15,-€ for calling to America with no result. So all i got from yesterday was no car, spending my free of work day for nothing in the end and paying €163,- for insurance I don't need and driving costs. Now I am asking you, how you would handle that situation? I think I have the right to get at least the insurance paid back from you, the costs for calling I had to make and the driving costs on the way back (which I wouldnt have had with the car). Next to that a nice apologize would be appreciated aswell due to the fact I felt like not taken serious yesterday. I am student so it is a lot of money for me which I can not just throw out of the window. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Philomena Bairkeddy by Europcar
