Alamo Car Rental at Limoges Airport

Limoges Airport is located in the Haute-Vienne department of France, and is one of the smaller airports of the country. In 2010, 337,000 passengers passed through the airport, and on flights mainly offered by Ryanair and Flybe. Air France also has a number of domestic flights from the airport, to destinations such as Paris-Orly Airport. The airport is however international, often receiving flights from the United Kingdom. Otherwise known as the Bellegarde Airport, Limoges has good facilities within its terminal building, but few transport options, therefore passengers are advised to rent a car from Alamo Limoges Airport. Alamo is an excellent car rental company geared towards leisure car hire, and offers their rates as low as possible.

At Limoges Airport, there is a single passenger terminal, and one runway, and all arrival and departure flights are handled from this building. The airport facilities are all easy to find, and well marked in English and French. Arriving passengers will find the rental counters of Alamo, and the other Limoges Airport car rental companies, in the arrivals area, nearby the hall from where baggage is collected. The rented cars are also parked nearby. Car rental at the airport is therefore very convenient, and also often a necessity, as during most times of the year, there are no bus services directly from the airport. Taxis are available, but can end up quite expensive if used for all travels, and there is only a train station in the city of Limoges, with no direct connections to the airport.

Alamo, at this rental location, is open throughout the week, but at certain hours. From Monday to Friday, their offices operate between the hours of 08:30 and 22:00, and on Saturdays from 09:00 to 19:00. On Sundays, Alamo is open for reservations from 09:00 to 17:00. Passengers who have decided to rent a car should consider making an advanced reservation, as all airport car rental locations can be busy at times. This is especially recommended if you require a specific type or size of vehicle. Reservations can be made directly over the phone from Alamo, or online, from one of the car rental websites which support Alamo bookings.

Cars from Alamo are all of high quality, and have low mileage, as they are periodically renewed to ensure their reliability. All customers can therefore expect a car which is in good mechanical condition, and also good overall condition. However, a twenty-four hour emergency breakdown service is offered by Alamo for all their rentals, to assistant their customers with any vehicle which has a mechanical problem, or which has been in an accident. A vehicle can be replaced if it breaks down and cannot be driven further. All primary renters should arrange adequate insurance for their rented car, as an accident could happen at any time. Insurance is available from Alamo, or customers can confirm with their credit card company if they offer suitable insurance. A major credit card is required for payment of the rental period, as debit cards are not often accepted at the rental locations in France. These cards include American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard / Mastercard and Visa.
