KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Perpignan
- Car hire in Perpignan is an excellent way of releasing yourself from dependence on public transport, giving you a cost-effective means to make the most of your trip to southern France where it approaches the border with Spain. The city is known for its historical architecture, some of it dating back to the early 1200s. It’s worth taking a day to drive around and see them all, including Perpignan Castillet, Hôtel de Ville, Perpignan Cathedral and the 13th century Palais des Rois de Majorque. A few miles to the north of the city you visit a former border fort with Spain Palais des Rois de Majorque.
- Perpignan has its own airport, making it a convenient place to collect your hire car right there. Simply go to the appropriate kiosk for the operator you’ve chosen, be it Sixt, Europcar, Avis or one of the other international operators. The car parks where you’ll collect your car are situated within easy walking distance of the main terminal building, and you won’t need to use any kind of transport to get there with your luggage.
- The road system in Perpignan is very efficient, so you’ll have no trouble making your way through the traffic at most times of the day. However, it is recommended to plan your route carefully using a map of the city as there are specific pedestrianised districts in the centre of Perpignan and many one-way streets, making it quite easy to end up having to reverse the way you came. This includes some of the main roads too, like sections of Boulevard Saint-Assiscle and Avenue Henri Ribere. It’s a good idea to get an up-to-date sat-nav unit when you book your car hire in Perpignan.
- Rush hour in Perpignan is a mild affair, and usually means a swell of all kinds of traffic, from cars to bicycles and pedestrians. It doesn’t get clogged up though, and keeps moving at a fair pace. The only places where you might encounter some congestion are where the main A9 flows into the town and at some of the junctions and roundabouts, such as the big one on Boulevard Edmond Michelet in the area where Penetrante N becomes Pont Arago, and where it merges with La Catalane.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Perpignan?

Pros:
Nice car, clean.Cons:
The woman at the pickup location in Marne-la-Vallée didn't tell us it was due back at 12 sharp. she emphasized how we could drop it off any time of the day, and that if they were not open we could drop off the keys in the key slot. We got charged an extra day after getting there 2 hours past drop off, even though when we looked at the slip and saw the 12pm date, we called and called and called while on the road to try and get clarification, but no one answered. We are incredibly upset. I am so disheartened with how cold and uncaring the pickup woman in Perpignan was. she didn't care at all how upset we were and how we would have done anything in our power to get there before 12 if it meant not needing to pay another 1/3rd our total. She brushed us off with every single question or concern. I even tried calling customer support and they told me to tell her to put a "delay" on the drop-off confirmation, and I got really excited that they may have found a solution for this, but when I came back to her and repeated what they said, she said "no. we can't do that. the check in place has to do that. not us".... but how can the check in place in Paris do a drop-off confirmation when we are down in southern France? They weren't answering their phone all day and we felt so hopeless. Hours were spent here and nothing was accomplished. So upset still.8.0 Very good
