Cherbourg-en-Cotentin car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin 
DominicJun 2023
Very congested, and the public works are out of control right now, renovating sidewalks with stone block and the like. Cherbourg itself is a fantastic, vibrant city. ❤ it.
MattJul 2023
Driving is simple in most of France. Lots of “roundabouts” but that’s Europe.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin

  • The choice of a vehicle hire gives you more flexibility with your travel plans than if you choose an alternative mode of transport like a train or bus. This is due to the fact that you can leave whenever you want and you don’t have to abide by the public transport schedule. For example, if you want to drive a car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin to the town of Valognes, this will take about 21min in total. Making the same journey by train takes about 31min, but also requires you to stick to the train timetable.
  • Cherbourg Airport (CER) doesn’t have any car hire agencies in the terminal, but you will be able to get a Cherbourg-en-Cotentin car hire from the city centre. The best way to get to the car hire agencies is to take a taxi from the front of the Arrivals Hall, which takes around 14min. You will then find companies like Avis and Europcar at the train station and Enterprise on Rue du Val de Saire.
  • For those that opt to hire a car, you will see that the town is very busy with tourists, especially those waiting to catch their ferry to the UK. Whilst there are pedestrian crossings you’ll find that people don’t always use these, so you should drive your car hire carefully when in the town. As with the rest of France, cycling is a big part of the culture, so you should always check your mirrors before you turn to ensure a cyclist isn’t at risk.
  • The town centre can be very busy when you drive your car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, which is often due to the ferries that depart from here to the UK. So if possible, you shouldn’t drive a couple of hours before a ferry is due to depart as you may get stuck in traffic. The rush hour period in his town, which is normally between 7AM to 9AM and 5PM to 7PM, is also a particularly busy time of the day and should be avoided if possible. The D900 is one road that can get especially busy as it leads off to the ferry terminal. So, if you need to travel this way it is advised to find an alternative route.

    As it's a historic town with small roads, you will benefit from getting a small car. A car like a Renault Twingo is a good option as these are useful for navigating narrow streets and are also easier to park. If you want to explore the Normandy coastline, then you might want a vehicle such as a compact SUV. This will handle rougher terrain better and provide you with a smoother ride.

  • What’s the speed limit in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin?

    You must stay within the speed limits when you’re driving a car hire in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, or you may be prosecuted by the local authorities. For example, on motorways you cannot drive faster than 130 kph. On dual carriageways the speed limit goes down to 110 kph, with other rural roads having a maximum limit of 80 kph. As you’re approaching the town it’s vital that you keep an eye out for the urban speed limit signs of 50 kph, as you are not allowed to travel faster than this.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin?

    If you’re looking for convenient parking in the centre of the town then you can go to Parking Gambetta Fontaine on Rue Gambetta, which is about a 5-min walk from popular tourist attractions like Salle des Fetes and costs about 0.50 € per hour. If you want to try and get some free parking, then head to Ville de Cherbourg Parking Napoleon on Rue Parking Napoleon. However, to ensure you manage to get a space it’s suggested that you arrive as early as possible.

My only complaint is the difficulty of finding the location. Your location description needs to include an obvious reference to the fact that it is inside a large shopping mall. It needs to offer specific direction about where to enter the mall and the specific location of where the Thrifty/Hertz store is.
