SIXT Car Rental at Toulouse Airport

Toulouse Blagnac Airport handles domestic and international flights to a wide variety of destinations, and is a popular gateway to the Midi-Pyrenees region of France. It is nearby to the enchanting city of Toulouse, and in just under two hours by motor vehicle, tourists can reach the sea, ocean or mountains. For this reason, along with many other of its attractions, Toulouse is considered as an ideal tourist location. Visitors of the airport often rent a car from companies such as Sixt Toulouse Blagnac Airport, as in a private vehicle is one of the best ways to travel. The car hire companies available all offer reasonable rental rates and a good choice of high quality vehicles.

Sixt is available on weekdays from 07:00 to 23:30, on Saturdays from 08:00 to 22:00 and on Sundays from 08:30 to 22:00. Their Sunday hours are applicable to Bank holidays as well.

Toulouse Airport car hire is especially convenient as there is no need to take any shuttle bus for transport after arrival. Passengers can simply walk to the rental counters, and will also find their vehicle parked nearby. To collect a vehicle from this rental location, the primary renter will need to be 21 years of age or older, and in possession of a driving license (held for at least a year prior to the rental date) and a major credit card, for example, American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, MasterCard or Visa. Secondary drivers on the contract will need to meet the same requirements and are an additional expense.

The majority of car rentals from Sixt include 2000 free kilometers, and a few vehicle categories have cars that include a satellite navigation system in their rental. Vehicles hired with GPS units are similar to the BMW Series 5 Touring and the Jaguar XF. For all other vehicle categories, a navigation system will need to be requested. All items of equipment, including child seats, are recommended to be booked early, as there is no guarantee of their availability upon your arrival at the rental counters. They are hired on a first-come first-serve basis. In France it is especially important to hire a child seat, as all passengers within a vehicle are required by law to be wearing seat belts.

The entire airport of Toulouse is built to accommodate passengers with mobility challenges. There are suitable restroom facilities, pavement ramps and elevators to the higher levels. Passengers can find assistance at the car hire companies as well, as hand controls are often available. Sixt's hand control equipment is fitted to an automatic vehicle, and controls the brake and accelerator pedals. From Toulouse Airport, hand controls are free of charge. A person unable to drive due to visual impairment can still be the primary renter, provided that he/she is accompanied by an able driver who holds a valid drivers license.

The majority of vehicles hired are returned to the same location as from where they were collected, however, sometimes this is not convenient. A Sixt one way hire must then be arranged by selecting a different return location for the vehicle. Hire cars can be driven to all parts of France and may even be allowed into neighbouring countries if arranged as a cross-border rental from Toulouse Airport. One way hires and cross-border rentals could incur additional charges, but are often free of charge as well. If any special arrangements need to be made contact Sixt for further information.

Perhaps the most popular cars hired are the smaller models with lower rental rates, similar to the Renault Twingo, VW Polo and Peugeot 308. These cars are light on fuel as well, and will travel easily around the city of Toulouse or to nearby towns and cities. Their only drawback may be their limited space for luggage. Families with more baggage may find the Opel Astra SW, Audi A1, BMW Serie 1, Peugeot 3008, Opel Insignia Sports Tourer or VW Passat Variant to be more comfortable. Always try to hire a vehicle that has sufficient space for passengers and luggage items, but still has a price that suits your budget.

The Toulouse Blagnac Airport car rental companies such as Sixt hire larger vehicles as well in the Van and SUV categories. Vans include the Ford Focus C-Max, Ford S-Max and the Renault Trafic, which is a car ideal for up to nine passengers. SUVs are similar to the Ford Kuga and BMW X1. All cars begin the rental with a full tank of fuel and must be returned full if fuel was not purchased. Motorists who have purchased fuel should return their vehicles as empty as possible as no refunds are given for unused fuel. If in a hurry, Sixt may refuel the vehicle on your behalf even if fuel was not purchased at the start of the rental period. There is then no need to stop and fill the vehicle before returning it to the airport.
