Location information for Poitiers

Introduction

Poitiers is a French city with a picturesque, historical center dominated by Romanesque buildings from the early Middle Ages. The city was twice the scene of military battles. In 732, when French troops halted the advance of the Moors, and in 1356 when the British gained a victory over the French army during the Hundred Year's War.

Population

The city has almost 95,000 inhabitants.

Location

Poitiers is located in the Vienne department in the Midwest of France, on the Clain River. The old city is situated on hills along the river which reach up to forty meters. Poitiers lies approximately 330 kilometers southwest of the French capital Paris.

Economy

Poitiers has the second-oldest and one of the largest universities of France. Approximately 25% of the city's inhabitants are students. Poitiers also houses other institutions for higher education. Tourism also plays an important role. The old, attractive center draws many visitors, but also the futuristic amusement park Futuroscope, about 15 kilometers north of Poitiers.

Airports

The city's airport, Poitiers-Biard Airport, is situated less than 3 kilometers west of the center. It's easily reachable by rental car. The Rue Georges Guynemer runs from the train station to the airport. The way is clearly signposted.

Public Transport

Poitiers has good public bus transport, exploited by the company Vitalis. There are also good bus connections with other places in the Vienne department and the rest of France. The city has a TGV station, where the high-speed trains on the Paris-Bordeaux line stop. These TGV trains also stop at the amusement park Futuroscope.

Traffic and Parking

The number of streets in the center of Poitiers where car traffic isn't allowed has been increased significantly in recent years. The city council wants to considerably reduce the number of cars in the city center. Parking garages have therefore been built around the center where you can park your rental car. There are also P+R areas on the verge of the city, near the termini of bus lines.

Hotels

Poitiers has a good choice of accommodations, in all price ranges, ranging from cheap budget accommodations (including a youth hostel - Auberge de la Jeunesse) to luxurious rooms in so-called relais et châteaux. There are also some hotels near the amusement park Futuroscope and campsites in the vicinity of the city.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
