KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Caen

  • Caen, France, offers numerous attractions to its visitors. Hiring a car is wise to get the most out of a tour. Car hire in Caen allows you to explore the city on your own schedule and conveniently. The tram and bus services do not go everywhere and use common routes prone to traffic. A car allows you to make the most out of your day in Caen. Visit Chateau de Caen in the middle of the city and enjoy the expansive site at your own pace through car hire in Caen.
  • Drive a mere 6 km from Caen-Carpiquet Airport (CFR) and begin your city tour immediately. The airport is virtually impossible to get lost in due to its size. Caen car hire offices are on the ground floor of the main building, and they have adequate signage. Picking up your hire car by walking to the marked car parks just outside the main building, you do not need a shuttle.
  • Pedestrian streets and walkways are a common sight in Caen’s centre. It makes driving in the city challenging, as you must watch out for pedestrians walking alongside traffic. Beware of the pedestrian-only zones, to avoid penalties. In Caen, you drive on the right-hand side of the road, so be keen when turning. Honking, flashing lights and hand signals and gestures are familiar with Caen drivers, so be polite and observant, for they are communicating their intent.
  • Driving in Caen city streets can be a challenge for tourists. The roads are narrow and feature a lot of cyclists. In addition, dead ends and single tracks are the norms of the city centre, and you should be careful not to get lost or stuck. Traffic is heavy during market days, and you should plan ahead. The oceanic climate means that roads are slippery, and more so when there is snow, so you have to be careful when you opt for Caen car hire.
  • Book your rental car in Caen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Caen are around 40% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Standard rental cars in Caen are around 6% more expensive than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Caen 
Verified travelerSept 2024
Request a SUV and you will get a BMW.
ColmMay 2024
Parking in many streets free overnight but charges from 9 am. Overnight in car park 20 euro, that's expensive. Traffic ok, signs coming off motorway can be confusing.
Verified travelerJul 2023
USA citizens able to easily rent a car using passport and driver's license. Be aware that the majority of cars are manual transmission, so much sure you opt for the correct type of car when making your reservation. Also refresh yourself on the many different types of traffic signs!

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.

  • What’s the speed limit in Caen?

    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.

  • Where are the best places to park in Caen?

    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.

Customer service at Hertz Caen was exceptional. Patient and friendly explanations of how the Tesla worked to a novice Tesla driver like me. Minor downside was that the office was closed for lunch (when I had made the booking for 130pm) so we had to wait till 2pm till they opened.

Pickup was excellent. Drop off at Gare de Rennes was poor. No directions or signage for location of drop off. They did not provide us with a code to get into the garage. There was not a person or signage to check in the car. We had to figure it out for ourselves and walk to the agency in the train terminal. There they were polite and helpful. The car was great!

When we picked up the car we were advised that the full coverage we paid for was not recognized by Avis. If needed, we would be charged for damage and the we would have to file with Kayak for reimbursement. Not the seamless process we thought we were getting.
