For visitors who don't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving through the streets of Toulouse. But if you're heading to the countryside, a sedan is best as it offers enough space and comfort for longer journeys. In case you're traveling with the whole family, a minivan is recommended.

Pros:
The car was great.Cons:
I rarely rent cars so this may be common knowledge, but when they say you dont need to return the car with a full tank of petrol, you should still do it. Hertz charged me themselves on a per litre basis to a full tank, then added an extra 20% fee on top. They should have advised me this on pick up!10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff were super helpful & efficient. Particularly Brian @ Drop OffCons:
I had tried to get a smaller automatic car but apparently there is only one Golf @ Toulouse. I come several times a year - is it possible to reserve the only one ?4.4 Mediocre

Pros:
The car drove nicely and got good gas mileageCons:
The Hertz rental page I selected on line showed a picture of a small van to accommodate seven adults, but the actual car was a very small station wagon which was extremely cramped and with absolutely zero space for luggage. Extremely misleading.3 locations in Toulouse

Pros:
Brand new, 80km, Skoda Fabia. One way drop-off from Toulouse to Bordeaux.Cons:
This is the first time we have used Sixt - having hired almost 50 cars from Toulouse airport over the years . We booked to collect the car from the airport which was confirmed on the initial booking but then without our knowledge, changed to a town pick-up on the final confirmation 2 days before pick-up - it took 3 emails to get it put right. The price was quoted in £ but invoiced in Euros - if we had known that we would have saved bank exchange charges by using a Euro bank account rather than a Sterling account. On our return we found that they had credited our account with the hire charge only to then take it again, incurring further exchange charges - the reason being, although we weren't told at the time, that we had used a different credit card for the security deposit to the one used for the original booking. 3 further emails but no apology or offer to re-imburse the extra bank charges - just an arrogant conceit on behalf of both Sixt France and Sixt UK that 'Sixt is right, the customer is wrong'. Decent cars let down by sloppy administration and unhelpful staff.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Very unclear insurance policy. I had to pay more than double the rental price to get just a basic insurance. I couldn’t get a clear explanation at pick up of the insurance I got, and it was not possible to modify the contract online to understand the insurance policy or to add an insurance.One location in Toulouse
