Hertz Car Rental at Biarritz Airport

Biarritz Airport is located approximately 5km, or 3 miles southeast of Biarritz, a large town on the south-western coast of France. The airport serves the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of the country, and in particular, the towns of Biarritz, Anglet and Bayonne. Its full name is the Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, and is also otherwise known as the Parme Airport. Although bus services are available, many passengers choose to rent a car, from companies such as Hertz Biarritz Airport. Hertz is the largest provider of car rental services in the world, and is popular for their low rental rates and wide choice of vehicles for hire.

The airport of Biarritz is recognised by its official code of BIQ, and consists of a single terminal and one runway. Approximately one million passengers pass through the airport each year, and it is adequately equipped for the needs of its passengers. The single terminal building is easy to navigate, and arriving passengers will find the car hire companies in the arrivals hall of the airport. There is also car hire buildings located nearby the car parking areas, where the rented cars are parked. Customers can hire a car directly from the counters of the Biarritz Airport car hire companies, or in advance, from websites online. At this rental location, Hertz is open from Monday to Saturday, between the hours of 08:00 and 22:00, and on Sundays from 09:30 to 22:00. The airport itself is open during weekdays from 05:30 to 23:00, on Saturdays from 05:30 to 22:30 and on Sundays from 06:00 to 23:00.

Hertz is one of the only car hire companies which allow their customers to reserve a wide range of vehicles by their specific makes and models, whereas in most cases, customers are only able to choose a car category. Cars can be more specifically chosen from the Hertz Green, Fun and Prestige Collections, and some of these vehicles even come with a satellite navigation system included in their rentals. This piece of equipment is referred to as the Hertz NeverLost In-Car Navigation System, and features a choice of languages; turn-by-turn directions in voice and visual mode, a colour touch screen and an easy-to-use interface. Drivers can also find out their exact location with the Instant Locate feature, and find the easiest route to any destination by using the Route Method. The system is pre-programmed with a database of all the Hertz Return locations in Europe, and an extensive list of points of interest.

Hertz Green vehicles include the VW Polo, Opel Corsa, Renault Clio SW and Peugeot 308 HDI, with an automatic transmission, and the Fun Collection is an interesting range of vehicles that include convertibles and smaller cars, such as the Smart For Two, Fiat 500 and Mini Cooper. Within this category, customers can also hire the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the Citroen DS5 and the BMW 120D Luxe. A vehicle from the Prestige Collection is often chosen by business professionals in need of a more luxurious car, for example, the Mercedes CLS 250 CDI, the Mercedes E220 and the Audi A6. Larger vehicles are available from the Prestige Collection as well, such as the Volvo XC90, VW Tourareg, BMW X6, Audi Q7 and the Mercedes Viano, for nine passengers.

Passengers arriving at Biarritz Airport can also hire more ordinary vehicles from Hertz, such as the Chevrolet Spark, Peugeot 107, Renault Megane, Opel Astra or Ford C-Max, as well as minivans similar to the Citroen C8 and Opel Vivaro. All vehicles can be arranged as a Hertz one way hire, and delivered to a different rental location than from where they were collected (Biarritz Airport). One way hires may also be driven to other European countries, such as Spain, as the border to this country is only 11 miles from Biarritz. However, one way hires which are returned to a location within another country may be more expensive.

Biarritz Airport is well equipped for the arrival of disabled passengers, and the Biarritz Airport car rental companies offer various services for their needs as well. Hertz hand controls are an option for drivers with a lower limb disability, or a disabled person who is unable to drive may use a dedicated driver for their assistance. This driver will not incur additional driver fees. From Biarritz Airport, hand controls are subject to availability, and should therefore always be reserved in advance. They are also free of charge.

Customers who belong to the Hertz #1 Club Gold will enjoy Gold Counter Service at Biarritz Airport, and all other benefits that come along with the membership. Although the Hertz #1 Club Gold is only for more frequent renters (someone who has rented three or more times in a twelve month period), all customers may join the Hertz #1 Club, and benefit from several time and money saving opportunities. The membership is free of charge, and available online, from the official website of Hertz.
