NATIONAL Car Rental at Toulouse Airport

Car hire companies such as National Toulouse Blagnac Airport are available who provide a wide range of high quality vehicles for leisure or business travel purposes.

At Toulouse Airport, National is serviced by Europcar, their worldwide partner in the car rental business. Their rental counters are found in the Proxi Park P2 building that is a minute’s walk from all the halls of the terminal building. They are open at hours convenient for the majority of arriving passengers, from 07:00 to 23:30 on weekdays and from 07:30 to 23:30 on Saturdays. The car rental counters are open on Sundays as well from 09:00 to 23:30. Passengers will arrive at one of four halls at the airport, referred to as A, B, C and D. Hall D is used for all international passengers and Hall B is mainly used by Air France. Within the halls passengers have access to banks, ATM's, currency exchange facilities, shops and restaurants, medical facilities and a wide range of other services.

Once ready to leave the airport, passengers can make their way to the Toulouse Blagnac Airport car rental counters and book their vehicle, or collect their previously reserved car. All vehicles are recommended to be reserved early in order to ensure the best car rental rates. National is online for convenient reservations from a customer's home or office. Collecting a vehicle will require all drivers listed on the rental contract to be present with their valid driving licenses and major credit cards. Usually the requirements for secondary drivers are the same as for the primary renter. Customers may need other documents as well, such as return airline tickets, an International Driving Permit and proof of residential address.

A primary renter, or secondary driver, should be 21 years of age or older to hire a car in France, and should have held their driving license for at least a year prior to the rental date. Under 25's, however, will pay a higher rental rate as young drivers insurance is added to their contract. Younger drivers may also not be permitted to hire from certain vehicle categories. These categories usually contain larger or specialty type vehicles. Customers will only require an International Driving Permit if they have a license that was not issued in the European Union, and this document will accompany, rather than replace, their local license. The major credit cards generally accepted by the Toulouse Blagnac Airport car hire companies include American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, MasterCard and Visa, and some companies have their own charge cards as well.

National has mainly focused their attention towards the frequent airport business travelers, and therefore has a large number of locations at airports around the world. Their services are ideal for saving money when travelling for business purposes, and their vehicles range from cars that are simply ideal for driving from "A to B" to cars that are more sleek and elegant, and sure to impress even the toughest of business colleagues. All vehicles are divided into various car groups, and additional items of equipment such as satellite navigation systems and child seats can be selected. National’s hand control equipment for persons with a lower limb disability could be available as well, and are free of charge from Toulouse Airport. Hand controls will operate the main functions of an automatic vehicle (i.e. the accelerator and brake pedals) but not any other functions, such as the car’s lights.

Another arrangement that can be made is a National one way hire, allowing the renter to return their vehicle to a different National rental location. They then will not need to return to Toulouse Airport. One way hires are therefore often convenient for certain travel itineraries.

Vehicles from National in the Economy category are similar to the Peugeot 206 1.2, the Peugeot 207 1.4 and the Citroen C3 1.4. They are the most economical vehicles in terms of fuel consumption and car rental rates. They could have some interesting features as well such as anti-lock brakes, power steering and air conditioning. Compact cars are slightly larger, and similar to the VW Golf 1.5 and Citroen CS 1.6, while the cars in the Intermediate, Standard, Standard Wagon and Fullsize categories seat five passengers and have room for three to five large luggage items. Luxury and Premium cars from National include the Mercedes E250 2.5 and the Peugeot 308RCZ 2.0, and larger Monospace vehicles such as the Ford C Max 1.6 can be hired.

Sometimes an even larger vehicle is required, and therefore National offers the Van categories. For seven passengers the Citroen Grand Picasso C4 2.0 and Citroen C8 2.0 are available, and for eight people the Citroen Jumpy 2.2 is ideal. SUV's are popular choices as well, and are similar to the Skoda Yeti 2.0 and Citroen C-Crosser 2.2.

Passengers arriving at Toulouse Airport are advised to contact National for all further car rental information required.
