Bergerac car hires from £20/day

You’re without a doubt better off choosing a smaller car when visiting Bergerac, at least if you’re intending to spend a lot of time in the city itself. The combination of traffic, pedestrians and cyclists on often narrow streets makes a compact city car a more logical choice than a larger saloon model. It’s a bit of a different matter if you’re going to be exploring the renowned Bordeaux wine region surrounding the city. In that case, the roads are good, and you can get yourself something a lot roomier, like a family saloon or an MPV. Alternatively, you could live the French driving dream in a sports car or convertible.

Once you’re on the motorways heading out of town, you can drive at 80mph.
