Chinon is a lovely town in the Loire Valley. The main reason for visiting is visible for miles – a huge castle that sprawls above the town, the lower walls of which are surrounded by a selection of al fresco restaurants. Car hire from Chinon is recommended for sightseeing further afield, as the town itself is small, but don't think there aren't plenty of sights. The centre is full of medieval timber houses, ancient churches and there is also a quarry which was once covered in Neolithic cave paintings. Hiring a car is also a great way to explore the entire Loire Valley as the public transport can be limited.
Saumur is known as the ‘Pearl of Anjou' due to its impressive château and is also the home of the legendary Cadre Noir, the French cavalry. Saumur is no more than forty minutes away by car, so hiring a car from Chinon is likely the easiest way to explore the city. Alternatively, you can make the one hour trip to Doué-la-Fontaine, a now abandoned town that was made up of caves and houses carved from the chalk plateau, which visitors are free to explore. There are also some lovely scenic gardens - great for a picnic!

Petrol / Diesel vehicles:
If you refill the fuel tank, please do so within 15km of where you return the vehicle, and keep your receipt as you will need to present it to our team.
If you do not take our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – see Fuel Policy for details - and do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we will fill the tank for you and charge you for the costs we incur and the service we provide in doing so. Our costs include purchasing, storing and managing our own fuel supplies, or refilling the tank off site, plus manpower and administration costs. Our service, of course, saves you from taking the time to find a local fuel station and refilling the vehicle yourself. The refuelling charge for your rental will be calculated as follows:
We will show the actual cost of refuelling on your rental agreement when you pick up your vehicle.
Electric vehicles:
Hertz will record the vehicle battery charge at the start of the rental. Failure to return the vehicle in the same state of charge as at pick-up will result in a recharging fee per missing kWh.
