Excellent

not as advertised
Pros: The car drove nicely and got good gas mileage
Cons: The Hertz rental page I selected on line showed a picture of a small van to accommodate seven adults, but the actual car was a very small station wagon which was extremely cramped and with absolutely zero space for luggage. Extremely misleading.

Terrible customer service
Cons: My rental was for 150 euros, and then when I went to pick it up, they asked about insurance. I had three options: 1) full coverage for additional 150 euros, 2) partial coverage for 90 euros and 3) accept full responsibilities if there is an accident. I told the lady that 90 euros was quite excessive for two days of rental, and she nodded. She said "because you did not call from an European call centre." I found this to be silly, and filled out a complaint form with the local provincal bureau (Galicia). When I went to drop off the car, the lady seemed to make a bit of a big deal about my gas being half full. I told the lady that the other lady said that because I had paid 70 euros in advance for gas, I don't have to worry about filling it up. They would refund whatever gas I had left in the tank. The lady in the counter told me to go to gas station to fill up, and I asked why. "because it is cheaper." It made no sense. She was frustrated and gave up, but I insisted on for complete explanation. She waved it off so I got really angry and demanded her to explain. She walked away to office, and a manager came out. He understood and explained that they refund the gas charges if you return the car with a full tank only. That made more sense. They should explain more in details rather than just saying simple things. I was not impressed with their customer service.

A total rip-off ! Will never book again with Kayak
Cons: Very unclear insurance policy. I had to pay more than double the rental price to get just a basic insurance. I couldn’t get a clear explanation at pick up of the insurance I got, and it was not possible to modify the contract online to understand the insurance policy or to add an insurance.

7.2
Pros: Reliable car, clean and comfortable
Cons: No one showed me any of the car features eg. Petrol. They also didn't explain where to pick up or drop off the car. In Nimes I drove around for 45min looking for a place to park close to rental. And then when I arrived they told me to take it to the car park. Maybe it would have been much easier and nicer if they had said this before hand.

Got overcharged
Pros: The car was brand new, and the girl at the counter was soooo nice!
Cons: My flight was rescheduled and because dollar was represented by hertz counter they could not adjust the price to match the shorter time I had car. So I over paid for the car, disappointing!

Top tips for hiring a car in Toulouse
- A car hire is the most comfortable and efficient way not only to explore the city of Toulouse, but also the surrounding region of Southern France. A car will let you tour the city's main attractions, including the Capitole and Saint-Sernin Basilica, at your own pace. It is also the perfect way to cruise freely to other destinations, such as the Pyrenees Mountains or the famous Languedoc Roussillon wine region.
- All the big car hire agencies, including Hertz, Europcar, and Avis, can be found at Toulouse Blagnac Airport (TLS), which is located 3.6 miles northwest of the city center. Most of the car hire companies are situated in Hall C of the Arrivals terminal, while Sixt is located in Hall B. You can easily walk between the different halls.
- Driving in Toulouse is very straightforward, just remember the signs will be expressed in kilometers rather than in miles. The freeway system in the region is also easy to navigate, and it connects major cities. Although you don't need an International Driving Permit (IDP), it's best if you carry one with you. It's easy to obtain and it might come in handy if you get involved in a fender bender.
- Traffic in Toulouse is usually easy to cope with, but it does get a little heavier during rush hours, so avoid driving around between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., and then again between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., so you don't add extra time to your travels – particularly if you're heading to the airport. Traffic also gets more congested during the holiday season, as the Pyrenees are quite popular among winter sports lovers.
- 25% of our users found a car hire in Toulouse for £20 or less
- Book your car hire in Toulouse at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport car hire locations in Toulouse are around 1% cheaper than airport locations on average
- Mini car hires in Toulouse are around 53% cheaper than other car types, on average
