Caen has narrow roads, and you may be likely to get scratches, so a small car is recommendable. An economy car is suited for city driving due to its compact size, which translates to easy manoeuvring and parking. The cars are especially fit with the parallel parking and friendly fuel economy. Recommended cars for a single driver or a small family include the Fiat 500, Volkswagen Up, Renault Twingo and Toyota Aygo. You can also get compact cars such as the Peugeot 508 and crossovers such as the Opel Mokka and Peugeot 3008 through KAYAK.
Driving into Caen, indicated by a town board, the speed limit is 50 km/h unless there is a road sign indicating otherwise. If you drive beyond the city limits, the speed increases to 90 km/h. Going beyond the speed limits in Caen attracts a fine or penalty from the police. The speed limits in the city apply during dry conditions, but when it rains, the drivers slow down for safety reasons, though it’s an unwritten rule. Once you are in the city, the general rule is to drive slow due to pedestrians, cyclists and narrow roads.
The Caen-Carpiquet Airport car park is suitable for travellers and car hire in Caen operators. Similarly, there are free park-and-ride (P+R) lots near the tram service, located on the city outskirts. If you visit popular attraction sites, you will get free parking, such as the Chateau de Caen, provided you do not go into town. You can also use online resources to get a payable parking spot, often underground. You can park in blue zones for an hour, free, provided you display a parking disc sourced from the police, garages or even travel agencies. Parking in supermarkets and shopping centres is usually free but for a limited time, and you should always keep an eye on your watch.
