Hire a car in Rennes with Hertz
In north-west France is the stunning, vibrant capital city of Rennes - a thriving modernity steeped in history that keeps the tourists rolling in each year. The hustle and bustle, sights, and smells make it the perfect place to explore during your time in France - with timbered buildings, historic monuments dating back to the roman era, and a wide selection of leisure activities, you're sure to be spoilt for choice. Our local branch is a 14 minute walk from the city centre, and is therefore ideal for ensuring you don't miss out on any of the action during your stay.
Hiring a car in Rennes is the perfect way to enjoy a day exploring the geologic formations of La Roche-aux-Fees, a favourite point of interest that is a short 40 minute drive using the D41. This free to visit location is a wonderful place to take the kids if you want to get outdoors and get back to nature; with the dolmen itself, along with the visitor centre and shop, it's an attraction that delivers despite its small size. You can also rent a car in Rennes and let out your wild side, visit the theme park of Foret Adrenaline Rennes - a treetop adventure waiting in the heart of Rennes.
