Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Carpiquet Airport (CFR)?
You can lock in a set of wheels from Europcar, which is within easy reach of Carpiquet Airport (CFR).
What happens if I need to cancel my Caen car reservation?
No problems! If you cancel your prepaid booking more than six hours ahead of the collection time, you may qualify for a complete refund. It's a good idea to scan your rental policy as there are some exemptions. Hop on our Customer Service Portal if you still have queries.
What types of cars can I rent in Caen?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no problem for an economy car — the most popular type of rental in Caen. Take the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Caen can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Caen?
Caen is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Le Mans is 137 kilometres from Caen. Popular attractions like Circuit de la Sarthe should be high on your list here.
  • Next stop? Consider Angers, which is around 193 kilometres away. Chateau d'Angers is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Luxembourg Gardens. It's approximately 193 kilometres from Caen.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Caen with Expedia?
Check out reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from leading providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Caen car rental with hotel or flight bookings and hit the road with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Caen?
Caen rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Caen?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Caen?
Like the States, you'll need to drive on the right in France. However, that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Get familiar with the local traffic regulations before you get to Caen.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Caen?
Yes. Expedia partners with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car classes. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Caen — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Caen car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Caen rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
