If arriving on a cruise ship, as we did, I would probably find a rental agency at the airport. In any case be sure to think about getting back your next transportation.

Le Havre has a well-connected railway network, but driving Le Havre car rentals is the best way to explore the city. Trams and buses make local stops at designated stations, so it's a slow journey; in addition, public transportation has fixed schedules, which could affect your traveling plans. When driving a rental car, you can go to Plage Dieppe, which is about 116 km (72 miles) northeast of the city.
When visiting Le Havre, you'll likely land at Paris Beauvais-Tille Airport (BVA). You can choose a car from several car-rental agencies, including SIXT, Keddy By Europcar, Thrifty, and Dollar. Most of these agencies are located at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, so there's no need for a shuttle bus. You can also land at Le Havre - Octeville Airport (LEH). Car-rental agencies are on-site near the terminal. Although there's a wide selection of vehicles at the car-rental agencies, consider booking earlier to avoid waiting lines at the airport.
Even though cyclists have a well-marked path, you should be careful when driving car rentals in Le Havre because the city has many cyclists. Some cyclists ignore traffic rules and pose a danger to themselves and drivers. Therefore, keep your eyes on the road and avoid distractions like cell-phone use while you're driving. If you're planning to drive on the A29 highway that links Le Havre to other cities, be aware that the toll stations accept cash, debit, or credit cards as payment.
Snow falls about 10 times per month during winters in Le Havre. Driving car rentals in Le Havre during winter can be tricky. The roads might be covered in snow, making them slippery, and you don't want your vehicle to veer off the road! The best way to ensure a comfortable drive is to rent a car with winter tires. Even so, the best way to remain safe is by driving slowly, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, and keeping the headlights on to increase visibility.

Took a while to get served on pickup, had to check the car in the rain, had to wheel my luggage about 100m in the rain. Man who served me was pleasant, diligent and efficient. Drop off was hard as there wasn’t a lot of parking near the place, petrol station to fill up was a fair way away and didn’t have any unleaded, bit of a queue at the office, so I left my keys with the man and he sorted it out later. Car was good, service was good, happy enough to use again.

The pickup process was terrible. The customer service representative confused the person in front of me with my reservation. This caused the process of getting my vehicle to take over an hour. Additionally, I just received two additional invoices for the vehicle. One of them is correct but the other one is for the other customer and has a charge for 3 GPS units. Not only did I not use 3 units, the name and car are not mine or what I rented. I am working to resolve this issue but based on the current performance, I am not expected great service.

I would have liked to know that the Hertz store in Le Havre was closing early on December 31st. I would have liked more help when I requested road side service from Hertz. I was unaware that I would be charged a 130 Euros for an intercity fee on top of the price I was quoted during the online reservation.

Did not have a car available for us despite booking in advance. No cars available nearby so we had to travel to another city at our own cost and then rent with another agency for a way higher last minute fee. Horrible experience with Avis and with kayak and would avoid if at all possible

Ridiculous opening times! Useless for business use (lunch break 12-14, morning opening at 9:00 , NO possibility to drop off car before agency opens. No possibility to drop off car at Octeville airport, not even for a fee. It seems that customer service is completely alien concept. Staff friendly enough but don’t really care.
