Most car hire providers in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.
As it's a historic town with small roads, you will benefit from getting a small car. A car like a Renault Twingo is a good option as these are useful for navigating narrow streets and are also easier to park. If you want to explore the Normandy coastline, then you might want a vehicle such as a compact SUV. This will handle rougher terrain better and provide you with a smoother ride.
You must stay within the speed limits when you’re driving a car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, or you may be prosecuted by the local authorities. For example, on motorways you cannot drive faster than 130 kph. On dual carriageways the speed limit goes down to 110 kph, with other rural roads having a maximum limit of 80 kph. As you’re approaching the town it’s vital that you keep an eye out for the urban speed limit signs of 50 kph, as you are not allowed to travel faster than this.
If you’re looking for convenient parking in the centre of the town then you can go to Parking Gambetta Fontaine on Rue Gambetta, which is about a 5-min walk from popular tourist attractions like Salle des Fetes and costs about 0.50 € per hour. If you want to try and get some free parking, then head to Ville de Cherbourg Parking Napoleon on Rue Parking Napoleon. However, to ensure you manage to get a space it’s suggested that you arrive as early as possible.

Cons:
Avis did not honor the price that I was quoted..so I spent hours trying to get a refund and am still not finished .grrrr6.0 Okay

Pros:
Friendly staff at the counterCons:
It took 25 minutes to get the car, even though we were the only customers. It took another 15 minutes to turn the car in, because we were waiting on another customer. This was in France, and I know things take longer over there, but it was frustrating to know you had to get the car back early (from a day exploring the D-Day beaches) because you expected delays. I think this office in Cherbourg could do much better business if they catered to the cruise boat passengers parked at the dock just 1 mile away. The price was double of a similar car in the U.S. and the car was dirty when we got it.10.0 Wonderful

Some Cherbourg-en-Cotentin 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 Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Cherbourg-en-Cotentin car hire.
