Keep it simple with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Saintes. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a great idea if you're cruising around big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that won't break the bank.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Saintes?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 21 and above can rent a car in Saintes. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, they will add on fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before locking in your ride. Companies also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Saintes?
You'll generally require a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental providers, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.

Where can I find a Saintes car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Saintes rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
