Hire a car in Orleans with Hertz
Organise your car hire in Orleans now, or visit our local branch for assistance. Hiring a car in Orleans means that you can explore the city, sat on its bend in the Loire, with ease, but also follow the river and explore the Loire region, and the castles it is famous for. The castle at Chateaudun, for example, offers a more unusual and military style of castle compared to the region's 'estate' or 'palace'-style castles. The town also contains several attractive medieval houses to look at, and a walking tour of these sights can be given to you free of charge from the tourist information office.
Hiring a car in Orleans allows access to the rich French history which its chateaux presents, but once you have had your fill, Orleans itself has lots to offer. For a bit of natural majesty rather than man-made head for Parc Floral, which offers beautiful and unusual flowers in a large and interesting park. It also boasts an enchanting butterfly house and its own flock of flamingos. The spectacular sight and smell of the rose gardens, wafting in the breeze, is enough alone to make the €6 entrance fee worth every cent. Rent a car in Orleans and the nine kilometre drive should take just under 15 minutes.
