Hertz Car Rental at Beziers Airport

Béziers Airport is located nearby the town of Béziers, and is also nearby Vias in the Hérault department of France. Although a very small airport, it is an important gateway for many tourists who are visiting the coastal resorts located in the nearby vicinity, such as Cap d’Agde, which is considered to be one of the leading European seaside resorts. Previously, Béziers Airport was named as the Béziers-Vias Airport, but is now referred to as the Béziers Cap d’Agde Airport, and is recognised by its official code of BZR. To explore the wonderful areas nearby, a rented car from one of the preferred Béziers Airport car hire companies is recommended, and Hertz is one of these companies available. Hertz offers a range of car rental services, and various hire cars that are in good condition.

Aéroport Béziers Cap d’Agde consists of a single terminal building and single runway, which was recently lengthened to allow the airport to handle larger aircraft, such as the Boeing 737 used by many of the popular low-cost airline carriers. Ryanair is therefore now a leading presence at the airport, offering regular flights to and from Paris, Bristol, London, Dusseldorf and Stockholm. The airport handled around 130,000 passengers in 2010. Passengers of Béziers Airport will find the car hire companies in the arrivals area, and Hertz Béziers Airport is open between various hours every day of the week. The following times can be used as a guideline:  Monday – 09:30 to 10:30, and from 13:00 to 15:30, Tuesday – 09:30 to 14:00, Wednesday – 14:00 to 15:30, and from 18:00 to 19:30, Thursday – 12:00 to 13:30, Friday – 09:30 to 10:30, 13:00 to 15:30 and from 18:00 to 19:30, Saturday – 09:30 to 14:00 and on Sundays – 14:00 to 15:30, and from 18:00 to 19:30. Although not open at all hours of each day, Hertz is available to meet the majority of flights which arrive at the airport.

The car hire companies at the airport also have letterboxes for the return of keys outside of their operating hours, which are located nearby the car hire desks in the arrival area of the terminal. Passengers may, however, arrange a Hertz one way hire if more convenient, which is a service allowing the vehicle to be returned to a different Hertz car rental location in France, or even in another country. At Béziers Airport, one way hires from Hertz are known as the Hertz Rent-It-Here and Leave-It-There service, and should be arranged in advance of your arrival. They are also usually free of charge if the vehicle is returned to a location within the same country as it was collected.

Passengers collecting a vehicle from the Béziers Airport car rental companies will be required to show a valid drivers license held in their country of residence for at least a year prior to the rental date. Primary renters with a license written in a non-Roman alphabet may need an International Driving Permit as well. To rent from Hertz at this location, the minimum age requirement of 21 should be met, and a credit card such as American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard or Visa will be used to pay for the rental period. All drivers younger than 25 years of age will be subject to young driver fees.

Vehicles hired by Hertz are arranged into various categories, however, unlike most other car rental companies, Hertz offers a range of vehicles which can be specifically reserved by their makes and models. These cars are found in the Hertz Green, Fun and Prestige Collections, and are often popular choices. The Green Collection contains vehicles that are environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, while the Fun Collection is an interesting range of sporty cars, convertibles, smaller Mini Coopers and larger SUVs. From the Prestige Collection, customers can generally hire cars manufactured by BMW, Volvo, Audi and Mercedes, and they can be more elegant for business presentation purposes. Examples of Hertz vehicles that can be more specifically reserved are the VW Polo, Renault Megane Clio SW, Audi A1, Smart For Two, Alfa Romeo Giulietta, BMW Series 1 Convertible, Volvo XC90, Mercedes CLS 250 CDI, Mercedes E220, Audi Q7 and the Mercedes Viano, which is a van able to accommodate up to nine travellers. This car, as well as many others, may also include a navigation system in its rental.

Other more usual rentals from Hertz are similar to the Chevrolet Spark, Peugeot 107, Opel Corsa, Opel Astra and Renault Megane, and slightly larger cars are available for families, such as the Ford C-Max and Opel Astra Sport Tourer. In the category of 4WD/SUV/Minivan, Hertz offers the Peugeot 5008, Chevrolet Captiva, Citroen C8 for seven passengers and the Opel Vivaro for nine people.

Additional items of equipment, including child seats, luggage racks and satellite navigation systems can be hired, and Hertz hand controls for disabled drivers may be available from their rental location at Béziers Airport. Hand controls come with no extra charges, and are used by individuals with a lower limb disability, as they operate the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle. Customers in need of the device should make an advanced reservation, as it will need to be fitted to the vehicle, and is only available on certain types of cars with automatic transmissions.

Hertz, Béziers Airport, will be able to provide all further information required.
