Car Rental in Limoges

Family car rental in Limoges

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in France traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, VW Passat, Volvo V50, Renault Scenic, Honda Accord, Peugeot 508 and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Limoges borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Limoges might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Limoges!

Traveling in Limoges with family car
It’s most profitable to pay for goods and services with national currency in Limoges. It is recommended to make an exchange before the journey, because local banks and exchange offices don’t offer favorable terms of transactions. It is also worth noting that in restaurants and shopping centers you can usually pay with your credit card.

Going to the local restaurants and cafes, it is worth considering an important nuance. Sometimes in the menu there are two types of prices, they are marked ‘au comptoir’ and ‘a salle.’ The first rate is used in case, if the client decides to take a place at the bar, and the second, if he prefers to stay at the table. As a rule, ‘a salle’ price is approximately 15 - 20% higher than ‘au comptoir.’

Locals are very helpful and courteous, they are always happy to help travelers and pay a respect for those who are interested in their history and culture. Visitors are strongly advised to learn a few phrases in French as townspeople are reluctant to speak foreign languages.

In large restaurants there are menus in multiple languages. Before you make an order, you should definitely ask the waiter all the questions. The wait staff has long accustomed to lots of foreigners and is happy to help understanding complex names of dishes. It is customary to leave a tip; it is generally about 10 - 15% of the total order.

It is convenient to travel around the city by buses. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks on each bus stop. It is required to hold a ticket until the end of the trip as buses are frequently checked by collectors.
