La Rochelle, France: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in La Rochelle are: Smart Car, Chevrolet Matiz, Kia Picanto, Citroen C1, Ford Ka, Hyundai Getz and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in France vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in France are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in La Rochelle, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to La Rochelle!

Driving Advices for France – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Drivers, who plan to travel in suburban areas a lot and want to make rides from one city to another, are recommended to install a GPS-navigator in their cars. The reason for this is the fact that even on large highways important signs may not be present in the right place.
According to local regulations, every car should always be equipped with a warning triangle. In the period from the beginning of November through the end of March cars can be used only in case they are equipped with winter tires. Violators of this rule are due to large fines.
While driving, you may notice rather strange digits on road signs - the numbers 1 - 15 or 16 - 31. These numbers mean that during the mentioned days of a month car parking on this side of the road is prohibited.

Sightseeing of La Rochelle, France
Have a great time tasting local wines, learning a lot of interesting facts about its production and proper drinking - all this can be done in Le Collège du Vin. When it comes to spas, it's worth noting Le Comptoir du Soin and Au Spa offering a wonderful rest in their baths and massage rooms. Those who wish to spend time with their friends actively are advised to go to Laser Game Evolution La Rochelle and play paintball or laser tag, which will certainly appeal to all team members. The Roof is another excellent option for spending free time. Here you can try indoor climbing in order to overcome the fear of climbing real mountain peaks (of course, under the guidance of instructors).

A great place to spend time with friends is Cafe Theater L'Azile they hold interesting theater performances of any genre except for the boring one.

Those who want to hit some pins and thus have a great time with friends gather in Bowling des Minimes.
