With medieval cities like Carcassonne, small compacts and economy cars are best for handling the narrow interior streets and are more fuel efficient if you are likely to spend long hours behind the wheel. Larger passenger cars like SUVs and luxury models have more storage capacity and are usually more comfortable than their smaller siblings.
The legal speed limit within the city of Carcassonne is 31mph on urban streets, except where restrictions apply. The speed limit on rural roads travelling through less populated areas is 55mph and the maximum speed for motorists along major roads like the N113 is 80mph. CCTV and traffic cams are not as widely used in France as the UK, but they do exist, so always pay attention to speed signs and slowdown near junctions to avoid accidents or fines.
There are three public surface car parksjust outside the Old Town: City Parking P0 and P1 at Porte Narbonnaise and City Parking P2 at Port D’Aude. Hours of operation at both are 08:00-20:00 and free between 20:00-08:00 with a tariff of around €1 (£0.90) for 2h 15min where the first 30min is free. From July-September, there is a free daily shuttle from each car park to the gates of the city. There is also free parking space near Bellevue Wharf, College Bastion and the corner of Boulevard Barbes and Boulevard Marcou.

Pros:
The car was great - I think we might have been "upgraded" as a result of the sort of car we ordered not being available, and I'm certainly not complainingCons:

Cons:
The cars fuel gauge didn’t reset when I filled it up and was then charged for not refilling the car. Needed to make a flight so I wasn’t in a position to argue the point with them.One location in Carcassonne

Pros:
Helpful staff, but only one person serving - it is a small airport after all. You might have a long wait (I was quick off the plane, but there were still 2 people in front of me so about a 15 minute wait).Cons:
My car was older than I would usually expect for a rental (50k km) but it was okay.One location in Carcassonne
