Bordeaux is a good place to visit in winter if you would like to take a ski trip to the Pyrenees. Make sure you have your snow chains and ski rack and let your car hire take you into the mountains – there are ski resorts between three and four hour drives away from Bordeaux.

Great customer service and received a clean and lovely car. Matthieu and Stephan were very helpful when there was a hiccup with the pricing. Thank you!

We were very impressed with the process of hiring a car with Sixt in Bordeaux, France. First and foremost, the customer service was five stars. Thank you, Stephane and Samantha! We hired our Fiat 500 electric car from Bordeaux Saint-Jean train station, and it was straightforward to find the rental companies with clear signage directing you through to the station. A very warm and friendly team, who definitely put the customer first, which is rare for hire car companies. The car was spotless and very reliable, and all pre-existing damage was documented to avoid any confusion on drop-off. We had the car for five days, travelling around the wine region, and we didn’t even need to charge the vehicle. You can pay a little extra to return it, not fully charged, which was a bonus. The process was very efficient from pickup to drop off, and the staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with each time. I definitely recommend using Sixt for your car hire.
