Renowned for its medieval half-timbered houses and grand cathedral, the Northwestern French city of Rennes attracts a steady stream of tourists throughout the year – many of whom choose to rent a car during their stay.

With plenty to see and do outside of the city, hiring a car certainly makes a lot of sense if you’re planning to explore the wider region. All of the car rental companies at Rennes Airport are located in the terminal building, in front of the arrival hall, making it easy to pick up your vehicle with a minimum of fuss. From there, it’s only a short journey to Rennes city centre itself. Be sure to have your passport and a form of photo ID to hand when you approach the desk, as this will help speed things up too. Here’s our pick of the top two companies for finding a cheap car rental at Rennes Airport.
Dollar
If you’re on a tight budget, then one thing you’re unlikely to want to waste money on is an expensive car. For cheap car hire, our pick of the bunch at Rennes Airport is Dollar, who have an excellent range of affordable vehicles among their fleet, including the Renault Clio and the Peugeot 208, both of which tend to be priced at around the €276 per week mark, depending on dates. Previous Dollar customers speak very well of the company too, with consistently strong reviews posted on their online feedback page.
Enterprise
Our next pick would be Enterprise, another reputable name in the car hire industry, and who have the largest choice of vehicles of all the car rental providers located at Rennes Airport. Among their airport fleet are several affordable options, with the stand-out deals a Renault Twingo which is available for €320 per week and a Opel Corsa for €335 per week. The Enterprise offices at the airport are open from 9am to 9.30pm from Monday to Friday, with reduced opening hours on the weekend.
