Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my La Rochelle car reservation?
Don't stress. You should be given a complete refund if you let us know at least six hours before collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations will receive a refund though, so you may want to read through the rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in La Rochelle?
Ideal for short trips and navigating tight car spaces, minis are the most popular rental category in La Rochelle. With superb fuel economy, you'll save on gas as you drive around the busy city streets. These spirited little rides aren't the only rental options available though. Luxury, standard, compact ... You name it, we're likely to have it!
Where can I go on a road trip from La Rochelle?
There are many exciting adventures to be had in La Rochelle, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Book a set of wheels and you can roam around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:

  • Make tracks to Worcester for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 80 kilometres from La Rochelle, it has lots of cool sights, including Golden Valley Casino.
  • Why not see the best of Saldanha too? Top tourist attractions here include Saldanha Harbour. Saldanha is roughly 121 kilometres from La Rochelle.

How do I find the best car rental deals in La Rochelle with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare rates, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your La Rochelle car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in La Rochelle?
Rental vehicle rules in La Rochelle require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental outlets impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in La Rochelle?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in La Rochelle?
If you're renting a vehicle in La Rochelle or planning a big road trip in South Africa, get ready to drive on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in La Rochelle?
Expedia makes it easy to pick up a long-term rental in La Rochelle. Just click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your choices.
Where can I find a La Rochelle car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Managed to find a La Rochelle supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
