When you arrive in Avignon, having a rental car at your disposal gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Here's what you need to know:

Driving on the Right, Literally!

In Avignon, as in the rest of France, everyone drives on the right-hand side of the road, which may seem unusual if you’re used to driving on the left in the UK. It may take a little getting used to, but don’t worry, the controls on most rental cars are the same as in the UK.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

The speed limit in urban areas is 50km/h while on country roads it's 80 km/h and on motorways, the limit is 130 km/h. However, this can be reduced to 110 km/h in wet weather. Seatbelts are mandatory for all vehicle occupants and mobile phones must not be used whilst driving unless you have a hands-free system installed.

Attractions

Avignon is rich in attractions and with a rental car, you can tour them as per your convenience.

Palais des Papes

This fortress-like palace was the residence of several popes during the 14th century. Explore its expansive stone halls and take a walk through its enchanting gardens.

Pont Saint-Bénézet

The iconic Pont Saint-Bénézet, also known as Pont d’Avignon, is a must-see. This partially collapsed bridge is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers beautiful views of the Rhône.

Eating Out

Avignon's bustling cafes and restaurants come alive with the charm of Provencal cuisine. Unlike in the UK, it's not uncommon for lunch to stretch for a couple of hours and the dinner usually starts late in the evening, around 7-8 pm.

Climate

The climate in Avignon is Mediterranean, generally with hot summers and mild winters, unlike the UK weather that can be unpredictable.

Currency

The official currency in Avignon, as with the rest of France, is the Euro (€). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, just like in the UK.

Parking in Avignon

Street parking can be found, but it may be challenging during peak tourist season. Public car parks located near major tourist attractions and the city centre are recommended for convenience and safety.

There's much to look forward to on your trip to Avignon. A wealth of exciting experiences awaits you in this French city that blends ancient history with a dynamic modern culture, and your journey through it all begins with your rental car.
