KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Limoges
Car hire in Limoges really is the way to go when you’re visiting the porcelain capital of France. The reason being that while there is efficient public transport, some of the most desirable tourist attractions are outside of that grid. Take the Château de Val on Lac de Bort les Orgues, one of Europe’s largest lakes, for example, or the Parc Naturel Régional de Millevaches en Limousin, a large nature reserve where you can go boating and fishing. You’ll also be able to get to the Medieval heart of the city, Rue de la Boucherie, park your hire car and walk around the narrow streets of this 13th-century district.
Limoges is served by its own airport, Limoges–Bellegarde Airport, which is only about 4 miles from the town centre. A number of hire car operators have offices at the airport, including Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar and Thrifty. You can find them outside as you exit the terminal building, next to car parks 1 and 2. Their signs will be visible from the terminal doors, so you won’t have any trouble locating them.
This used to be quite a sleepy town until it became a more vibrant small student city thanks to its university. The main thing you need to take into account when planning your car hire in Limoges is that it’s a very pedestrianised town. Not only will you encounter groups of students walking around almost everywhere you drive, there is also a large pedestrianised zone of which you should be aware. This is the area in and around the Medieval quarter, with Rue de la Boucherie at its centre. Exercise caution even in the surrounding zones, as pedestrians tend to inadvertently wander into these as well.
One thing you won’t really have to worry about with Limoges car hire is that heavy traffic and rush hours will inhibit you driving around the city. There isn’t much of a rush hour to speak of, so you’re free to explore the town at any time of the day. Naturally there are some busier streets, like Limoges Road, Boulevarde du Vigenal and Rue du Chanoine Peny, but what traffic there is still flows freely.
Ensure you have an appropriate booster or child seat if you'll have young passengers in your hire car in Limoges. Children under 10 who are under 135 cm must use a booster seat. Car hire companies can usually provide one for an extra fee, or you can consider bringing one yourself. This can be a great idea if you're flying, as some airlines allow children to sit in a car seat on their flight. It especially helps when you’re wanting cheap car hire in Limoges; just make sure it complies with EU standards.
Whether or not you need an International Driver's Permit for your Limoges hire car will depend on where your licence was issued. A valid UK driver's licence (as well as vehicle and insurance information) is all you'll need to drive. If you're pulled over, you may also be asked for your passport. This also applies if you have a driver's licence issued from any country in the EU. Even if you don't need an International Driver's Permit, having one can be useful. Some countries, such as the United States, advise keeping a French translation of your licence on hand if you opt not to use an international permit.
French law requires drivers to keep a few essential items in their cars at all times. This includes a warning triangle and enough high-vis jackets for all occupants. Your Limoges car hire company should be on top of this but double-check to make sure. If you've visited France in the past, note that the law requiring breathalysers no longer applies. Limoges does not currently require Clean-Air stickers on their cars, but if you plan on driving to a Clean Air Zone such as Saint-Etienne, ask your car hire company if they can provide you with one.

FAQs about car hire in Limoges
What type of car is recommended for driving in Limoges?
If there is a clear choice of car to hire when you’re visiting Limoges, it would be one of the smaller models, like a compact city car or a small sedan. This isn’t due to traffic congestion, but because many of the smaller side streets you’ll want to explore are quite narrow. It will also make it easier for you to deal with pedestrians if you’re in an agile vehicle. However, if you’re planning to base yourself in Limoges in order to explore the surrounding Limousin region, then by all means choose a saloon or a larger MPV.
What’s the speed limit in Limoges?
On the rural roads into and around Limoges the speed limit is in accordance with the French national limit of 80km/h (50mph) . Once you enter the villages, you will see very prominent signs lowering the speed limit to 50km/h (30mph). The town uses an electronic speed indication system to help ensure that drivers adhere to the speed limit. Electronic signs positioned a few hundred feet before the speed limit signs will flash your current speed as you pass as a reminder that you need to slow down soon.
Where are the best places to park in Limoges?
You’ll easily find street parking and car parks in Limoges. Car parks close to the centre of town include Parking Churchill and either of the Parking Indigo car parks at Limoges Jourdan and Limoges Les Halles. Expect to pay a few pounds an hour here. You can also find limited free street parking in the town centre at Parking Pont Saint Martial on Place Ste Félicite.

Should I get insurance when hiring a car in Limoges?

How old do I need to be to get a hire car in Limoges?
Legally you only need to be 18 to hire a car in Limoges. However, many companies providing cheap car hire in Limoges require you to be at least 21 years old. Others may charge an extra fee for drivers under 18. Some may also require you to have held a driver's licence for at least one year.
What is the alcohol limit in Limoges?
Although breathalysers are no longer required in cars in France, they can be useful. France's blood-alcohol limit is lower than most of the UK's, at 50 mg per 100 ml. Roughly speaking, think of what you could usually drink to stay under the limit and cut it in half. Of course, the safest thing is to avoid drinking at all if you're going to be driving your hire car in Limoges any time soon.
Some Limoges 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 Limoges.
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 Limoges car hire.
