KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Le Mans
- In this city best known for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, booking car hire in Le Mans is a great option for anyone looking to explore the areas surrounding the city; Paris is less than 3 hours away. While France does have a fairly robust public transportation system, with your own vehicle, you'll be able to make detours and stop at the various small towns and villages you encounter along the way.
- Tours Val de Loire Airport (TUF) is the closest airport to Le Mans, and you can find an Avis office close to the terminal. Alternatively, if you arrive in Paris, you can find car hire companies at every terminal of Paris Orly Airport (ORY) and Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). Another option is to take the train from Paris to Le Mans Station (Gare du Mans). You'll find a number of car hire companies close to the station.
- Make sure that the company you've used for car hire in Le Mans includes a warning triangle and high-vis vests in the vehicle, as these are required by law and must be used in the event of a breakdown. Additionally, if you plan on taking long trips, keep some change in your car. You'll likely encounter toll roads along the way and it's often easiest to pay in cash. The cash lanes are generally marked by a bright green arrow. There are sometimes card-only lanes, but it's best to only use these if you're very confident your card will be accepted.
- The roads in Le Mans get a lot busier in June when the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on, so be prepared to add extra travel time when driving around the city. This is especially true if you're heading to the track yourself. (Also, remember that some roads will be blocked off, so you may need to change your route). Le Mans does get some snow in winter, but winter tyres are not mandatory in Le Mans. If you plan on driving into colder areas or the mountains, you may want to add winter tyres to your Le Mans car hire booking.

Car hire insurance in Le Mans
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Le Mans car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Le Mans.
