KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sarlat-la-Canéda

  • Using cheap car hire in Sarlat-la-Canéda can be a convenient and efficient way to explore the region with your itinerary and at your own pace. Sarlat-la-Canéda is close to many wonderful scenic areas, such as the Dordogne River Valley, which can be difficult to get to without a car. By having Sarlat-la-Canéda car hire, you can visit these places that are not easily accessible through public transport. Hiring a car can also be more cost-effective than booking multiple train or bus tickets, particularly for groups or families.
  • Brive Dordogne Valley Airport (BVE) has multiple car hire companies, among them Avis, Budget, Europcar, Enterprise and Hertz. All car hire companies have their counters in the terminal building, except Enterprise, which provides a Meet and Greet service located outside the terminal building. The counters are situated in the Arrivals area inside the terminal building, near the Baggage Claim area. To get to the car hire offices, simply follow the signs after exiting the Baggage Claim area towards the Arrivals and Car Rental Desk. You may have to show your ID, driving licence and credit card to hire a car.
  • It's mandatory for all drivers to carry a breathalyser kit in their car. Sarlat-la-Canéda car hire companies are required to provide a breathalyser kit in their vehicles as part of the rental agreement. However, it is recommended to double-check with the car hire company at the time of booking or pick up to ensure that the vehicle has a breathalyser kit. Roundabouts are also very common, and when entering a roundabout, always give way to vehicles already on the roundabout. In addition, keep an eye out for unique road signs such as "Tout Droit Interdit", which means "no straight ahead", or "Cédez le passage", which means "give way".
