KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Moûtiers
- Moutiers is a commune in the south-western French Alps, but it doesn’t have much in the way of public transport beyond an intercity train service. Car hire in Moutiers provides you the means and the convenience to get to the Les 3 Vallees Resort along with the flexibility of navigating the surrounding areas at your leisure. Planvillard is approximately 14 km north from the town centre, while the popular slopes at Courchevel are located about 24 km south along the D915/D91A.
- Chambery Savoie Mont Blanc Airport is the closest one to Moutiers although it is 54 km (34 miles) away. Fortunately, the airport has a car hire centre which is staffed by representatives from a handful of major providers including Avis, Hertz and SIXT. Any of them can get you a rugged SUV, small compact or a passenger van for the long ride to town. To take possession of a vehicle you must be at least 21 years old and you should know that the airport providers levy additional charges on all drivers below 25 years of age.
- Before leaving the airport premises, be sure you’ve got a set of snow tyres on in case the weather turns for the worse. Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers riding in a Moutiers car hire and only hands-free devices are allowed behind the wheel. Drive on the right-side of the road and pay attention to all posted road signs on the way to Moutiers. Pay particular attention to crossing pedestrians as you enter the town centre and maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, especially as snow and ice can cause road surfaces to become slippery.
- The N90 is the main artery for inbound and outbound traffic to the town and its tributary the D117 is prone to slowdowns approaching Les 3 Vallees. The twists and turns of the D85 (Route d’Hautecour) as it winds its way from Gendarmerie Nationale through Planvillard can be particularly hazardous during the winter months when snow and ice accumulate, so drive your car hire in Moutiers with caution. Traffic volumes increase dramatically during the ski season and while congestion is uncommon, you should expect tailbacks around Les 3 Vallees in the mid-morning and early evening hours. The centre of town is often a hive of pedestrian activity during the afternoon hours between 12pm-3pm so caution is advised.
- Book your car hire in Moûtiers at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate car hire in Moûtiers are around 10% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Moutiers?
We highly recommend an SUV hire which has 4X4 capability to combat alpine conditions where snow and ice can present dangers on the road. Otherwise, a compact car or small economy car outfitted with snow tyres allows for greater handling on narrow, winding roads and is much easier to park than larger vehicles. A passenger van or full-sized saloon similarly outfitted is an ideal Moutiers car hire for conveying family and friends around the town and the wider region. Luxury or exotic hire cars are fine within the confines of town, but we do not recommend driving such vehicles beyond the town precincts.

On roads through rural areas, the legal limit is 80 km/h and the maximum speed on highways is 130 km/h. We advise you to proceed cautiously, especially if you are driving in Moutiers for the first time, and when weather conditions are unfavourable, pay attention to posted speed signs at all times.
