Drive in Poitiers with Sixt
Poitiers is a major university centre in west-central France with an attractive and historic town centre dating back to the medieval Romanesque period. Visitors can enjoy the 4th century Baptistère Saint-Jean, the oldest church in the country, and the Notre-Dame la Grande church, first mentioned in the 10th century. Around a 23km drive west of Poitiers in your car hire is the picturesque market town of Chauvigny, home to the remains of several castles and a church featuring a 15th century fresco of the martyrdom of St Leger. A short drive to the south east will bring you to the sleepy countryside town of Nouaille-Maupertuis known for its 12th century Abbey St-Junien, where a substantial part of the original buildings can still be seen. For a fun family trip, a car rental puts the Futuroscope theme park within easy reach. Explore Poitiers with ease when you rent a car with Sixt.

I’ve rented from Sixt in Poitiers a few times this year and have been impressed by the level of service and courtesy extended by the staff - always polite and friendly. I’m planning my next trip to the Vienne and will be booking with Sixt in Poitiers again.

Very helpful and friendly Sixt staff in Poitiers. I was very pleased with the service and information provided, and the agent spoke English as well, which helped a great deal. However, this location had only one agent when I went in to pick up my rental (which I had booked and paid for online on the company's website the night before), so not enough staff to handle the long line of people waiting to rent or return cars the next morning, a weekend. Still, I definitely plan to rent from Sixt again. Great cars and customer service!

I used Sixt at Poitiers Airport for my first car hire in France from 29 August until 8 September. Everything was very straightforward and both car and service were excellent. I would especially like to mention Ms Peigne at the hire desk who dealt with the hire. The level of service she provided was first class, and she was an excellent ambassador for both her company and her country.
