Poitiers' well-connected transport services include the Poitiers-Biard International Airport and main train station, Gare de Poitiers, connecting it to major UK cities. Hiring a car directly from the airport or formal car rental agencies in the city centre can optimize your travel plans.

Rental Cars

Due to the city's hilltop position, we recommend a small to mid-sized car for easy manoeuvrability on the winding roads. However, for families, an SUV might provide the roomy comfort needed.

Driving Rules & Speed Limit

Remeber, unlike in the UK, vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road. Urban areas enforce a speed limit of 50km/h, main roads have a limit of 80km/h, and highways (autoroute) allow up to 130km/h. Using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free system.

Explore Poitiers

A blend of history and urban novelty, Poitiers offers must-visit attractions such as the medieval Palace of Poitiers, Futuroscope theme park, and the picturesque Jardin des Plantes de Poitiers.

Parking in Poitiers

Pay-to-park zones operate between 9 am to 7 pm, Monday to Saturday, while Sundays and public holidays are free. Look out for blue zones where parking time is limited - perfect for a short city tour.

Navigating Around

Poitiers is quite walkable, but if you're up for a drive, head to the Rustic routes leading you to the vineyards of the neighbouring cities of Cognac and Bourdeaux. A serene beach experience awaits just two hours away at La Rochelle.

Weather & Currency

Poitiers has a generally mild climate year-round, making it a perfect destination any time of the year. The official currency is Euro (€). Most places accept credit cards, yet cash comes in handy at local markets.

Seasonal Events in Poitiers

For the culturally inclined, Les Expressifs in October offers a fantastic peek into street art, theatre, and music. The annual Macadam Jazz Festival in July jazzes up the city's summer factor!

If you're looking to gear up your vacation in Poitiers, driving through its charming routes can make the experience truly rewarding. Embrace the joy of discovery!

Entspannt reisen

Travel relaxed with a second driver - this is what you have to consider.

If you want to visit Poitiers with your partner, family or friends, you can register a second driver with the car hire company. The same conditions apply to the second driver as to the main driver.

Registration is necessary

The insurance coverage usually applies only to registered drivers. The registration is usually still possible at the pick-up station of the car hire at the airport / train station.
