Top tips for hiring a car in Limoges
- Car hire in Limoges really is the way to go when you’re visiting the porcelain capital of France. The reason being that while there is efficient public transport, some of the most desirable tourist attractions are outside of that grid. Take the Château de Val on Lac de Bort les Orgues, one of Europe’s largest lakes, for example, or the Parc Naturel Régional de Millevaches en Limousin, a large nature reserve where you can go boating and fishing. You’ll also be able to get to the Medieval heart of the city, Rue de la Boucherie, park your hire car and walk around the narrow streets of this 13th-century district.
- Limoges is served by its own airport, Limoges–Bellegarde Airport, which is only about 4 miles from the town centre. A number of hire car operators have offices at the airport, including Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar and Thrifty. You can find them outside as you exit the terminal building, next to car parks 1 and 2. Their signs will be visible from the terminal doors, so you won’t have any trouble locating them.
- This used to be quite a sleepy town until it became a more vibrant small student city thanks to its university. The main thing you need to take into account when planning your car hire in Limoges is that it’s a very pedestrianised town. Not only will you encounter groups of students walking around almost everywhere you drive, there is also a large pedestrianised zone of which you should be aware. This is the area in and around the Medieval quarter, with Rue de la Boucherie at its centre. Exercise caution even in the surrounding zones, as pedestrians tend to inadvertently wander into these as well.
- One thing you won’t really have to worry about with Limoges car hire is that heavy traffic and rush hours will inhibit you driving around the city. There isn’t much of a rush hour to speak of, so you’re free to explore the town at any time of the day. Naturally there are some busier streets, like Limoges Road, Boulevarde du Vigenal and Rue du Chanoine Peny, but what traffic there is still flows freely.

FAQs about hiring a car in Limoges
What type of car is recommended for driving in Limoges?
If there is a clear choice of car to hire when you’re visiting Limoges, it would be one of the smaller models, like a compact city car or a small sedan. This isn’t due to traffic congestion, but because many of the smaller side streets you’ll want to explore are quite narrow. It will also make it easier for you to deal with pedestrians if you’re in an agile vehicle. However, if you’re planning to base yourself in Limoges in order to explore the surrounding Limousin region, then by all means choose a saloon or a larger MPV.

On the rural roads into and around Limoges the speed limit is in accordance with the French national limit of 80km/h (50mph) .

The town uses an electronic speed indication system to help ensure that drivers adhere to the speed limit. Electronic signs positioned a few hundred feet before the speed limit signs will flash your current speed as you pass as a reminder that you need to slow down soon.

Pros:
Alamo (and their parent company Enterprise, I think) are always super nice when we hire at Limoges. Best of the bunch there (Eurpocar are nice as well, Avoid Avis at all costs!). They’re so patient considering how they must deal with tired travelers all day that just want to get to their destination.8,0 Very Good
