Driving Tips for Bordeaux

When you opt to rent a car in Bordeaux, you give yourself the freedom to explore on your own time. Keep the following in mind for a smooth journey:

Crit’Air sticker: Bordeaux is one of the cities in France that will implement low emission zones in 2025, so you will need a “clean air” sticker to drive through certain areas.
Share the road: Bordeaux has public transport in the form of trams and buses, so you’ll be sharing the road with them as well as cyclists and pedestrians. Don’t enter bus lanes and always stay alert.
Toll roads: You might be able to avoid toll roads by staying in the city center, but if you plan to venture out for day trips, you will likely encounter them. Ask about our prepaid toll program for an easier trip.
Roundabouts: Roundabouts are plentiful in France, including in Bordeaux. Be sure to use your turn signal when exiting and always give right of way to the cars already inside the roundabout.

The man who served us was very friendly and knowledgeable. He helped us and even showed us where the key drop off was and where the car was in the car park. No pressure of any upselling like other companies which is great.
