KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Surgères

  • Using car rental in Surgères offers several advantages over relying solely on public transport. A Surgères car hire provides flexibility and independence, allowing travellers to explore the surrounding areas at their own pace and convenience. With a car, one can easily visit nearby attractions like the stunning Château de Surgères and its beautiful gardens, the charming town of La Rochelle with its historic port, and the picturesque Île de Ré with its sandy beaches. Having a car also eliminates the need to adhere to public transport schedules and allows for easier access to more remote locations or hidden gems in the region. With a Surgères car hire, travellers can make the most of their visit and create their own personalised itinerary.
  • The closest airport to Surgères, where car hire services are available, is La Rochelle – Île de Ré Airport (LRH). At the airport, several car hire companies have their desks conveniently located in the terminal building. These include well-known companies, such as Avis, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt. No shuttle is needed to reach these car hire companies, as they are easily accessible upon arrival. The airport is located approximately 30 km from Surgères, and having a car rental from the airport allows for a seamless journey to Surgères and the surrounding areas, providing travellers with the freedom to explore the region at their own pace.
  • When driving a car rental in Surgères, it is important to remember that France follows right-hand driving, with the driver seated on the left side of the car. The locals in Surgères predominantly drive small to mid-sized cars, such as compact hatchbacks or sedans. Generally, locals tend to be respectful and abide by traffic rules, although it is advisable to be cautious and attentive while driving.

The busiest times of the day in Surgères are typically during rush hour, approximately between 08:00-09:30 and 17:00-19:00, when traffic can be congested. Certain roads like the D939 and D939A, leading to and from the city centre, may experience heavier traffic. The peak season in Surgères falls during the summer months, particularly in July and August, when tourists flock to the region. During this time, it is advisable to plan ahead, book your car rental in advance, and allow for extra travel time due to increased traffic and limited parking availability, especially in popular tourist areas.
