The ultimate way to enjoy the summer vibes the city exudes is by renting a convertible. Biarritz is where the rich and beautiful tend to commute for their annual holiday, and an expensive sports car would be a good choice to fit right in. Families can also consider renting a minivan that provides more space for the holidays.
