Driver Age Requirements in Perpignan

Can I rent a car in Perpignan if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically vary by provider.

Can I rent a car in Perpignan if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in France. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.

What is the best time of year to explore Perpignan by car?

The shoulder seasons of Spring (May to June) and Autumn (September to October) offer the most pleasant weather and quieter roads. Summer is peak season for coastal activities and Catalan festivals, while winter provides a peaceful, local atmosphere—perfect for exploring the historic sites and mountain valleys without the crowds.

Essential Tips for Driving in Southern France

In France, major motorways like the A9 operate a toll system. While local roads are generally toll-free, they can be more winding as they head into the fells. Using dipped headlights is recommended on rural and mountain roads for better visibility. Winter equipment (such as winter tyres or snow chains) is required by law in designated mountainous zones during the winter season where indicated by road signs. If you plan to travel through these areas, such as the Pyrenees interior, it is important to confirm the specific equipment provided with your rental at the desk. Tyres must be suitable for icy and snowy conditions; in practice, this means winter tyres designed for challenging conditions or carrying anti-skid devices such as snow chains where permitted. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
