If you need a cheap car hire in Niort, a small and compact vehicle should do the trick, so you can park with ease, and it also makes it easier to drive on narrow and tight roads. However, should you need a car to escape into the countryside, then an SUV is better suited. This is because it has enhanced traction and handling for uneven and steep roads. This type of vehicle also has a more luxurious interior, which enables you to enjoy more comfort during longer journeys.

You must abide by the speed limits in Niort, otherwise you run the risk of being pulled over and fined by the police. If you’re caught by a speed camera, your car hire agency will be informed about this. They will automatically fine you and also provide your details to the police. If you keep within the speed limit, you are also less likely to be involved in an accident. The upper speed in the town is 50 km/h (31 mph). On countryside roads, it’s 80 km/h (50 mph), whilst if you are on a motorway, you can go up to 130 km/h (80 mph).
