Firefly Car Hire Guide to France


Car Hire France

To get the best out of your holiday in France, you should really hire a car. A hire car will enable you to get the most out of your holiday, as you won’t be stranded in one place or a slave to the train timetables!

Car Hire in France – Benefits

France is a large country with many things to see and do, from skiing at Val d’Isere, to wine-tasting in Bordeaux, lazing on the beach in St. Tropez or experiencing the film festival in Cannes. However, getting to these places will be easier if you hire a car.


Although France has some larger cities and towns, such as Paris and Lyon, it also areas with smaller resorts within a short distance of each other, such as Nice and Cannes, so hiring a car gives you the opportunity to base yourself in one location but explore nearby resorts as well. You can also use your hire car to visit some of the country’s picturesque towns and villages, like Cogolin and Grimaud in the south of France or Issegiac in the Bordeaux region.


If you hire a car in France, you can take a driving tour of the country. You might like to take a tour of the wine-making region of Bordeaux, or follow the Mimosa Trail in the south of France, which will take you to some of the most significant places in the region’s perfume-making industry.


Car Hire in France – Holiday Hotspots

There are many places to see in France, so to make it easier for you work out where you want to go, try to think about what you want out of the holiday. Do you want to go on a wine tasting trip? Then exploring the vineyards of the Bordeaux region may be for you.
