Car rental in Carcassonne

Here at Rentalcars.com, our team negotiate with all the major rental brands (including Europcar, Hertz and Firefly) to bring you the cheapest prices on car hire in Carcassonne. And, in the unlikely event that you find the same car from the same supplier at a better price elsewhere, we will beat the quote. Finding your perfect hire car couldn’t be easier — just use the search form to tell us when you need a car, then use the filters to sort the results based on your needs and preferences.

We are impartial, and your rental experience really matters to us. To help you make an informed decision, we show feedback about each rental company next to each listing — so you can see which companies people trust and recommend the most. We ask customers to rate the supplier in seven key areas, including the condition of the car and the efficiency of the counter staff. You can also avoid hidden fuel costs by booking a car with a full-to-full fuel policy (just remember to refill the tank before dropping the car off).

Lastours Castles: Four castle towers dot the mountainside of Lastours. Situated 25 minutes north-east of Carcassonne, these romantic-looking ruins are original Cathar castles. The fort was used on and off until the French Revolution, when it was finally abandoned for good. You can now walk around the ruins of the castle, the village it protected and the caves that adorn the mountain.

Montpellier: Montpellier is an elegant city located just under two hours north-east of Carcassonne. As the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, Montpellier is full of history and culture. Do you love art? Visit the Musée Fabre, which has a collection of fine European art. Are you a history buff? Then take a stroll through the Old Town and enjoy the medieval alleyways and cloisters.

Rennes-le-Château: Rennes-le-Château is a hilltop village with an important castle situated on the peak of a mountain. The village, located an hour away from Carcassonne, also has a large church, vineyards and a museum detailing the history of the settlement. Once a stronghold for the Visigoths and the Cathars, Rennes-le-Château has attracted treasure hunters and spawned many farfetched conspiracy novels — whatever you think, the village is a fascinating day out.
