How to find a cheap car hire deal in Colmar

  • Lock in your ride in June and fast-track your savings. It's the cheapest time of year to rent a car in Colmar, with average daily rates of R 242.

  • To score a cheap rental car in Colmar, it's a good idea to book in advance. Prices generally rise as your travel dates get closer, and you might be left with fewer choices.

  • Check out car hire deals in Colmar from popular providers like Avis, Enterprise and Free2move.

  • Whether you choose Avis or a different supplier, be sure to check the coverage on your Colmar car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others charge extra for it.

  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Simply check 'Return car to a different location' when browsing for a car for rent in Colmar. Providers often have to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can score some fantastic one-way prices.

  • Skip the sneaky refueling fees by choosing a car hire in Colmar with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Begin and end your trip with a full tank, and pay only for what you use.

  • Want to explore without worrying about how many miles you rack up? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and drive as far as you like without the extra costs.

Compare car hire types in Colmar

  • Small: Whether you're cruising narrow city streets or just planning a quick trip, a cheap rental car in Colmar from this category delivers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can expect great mileage and easy handling.

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine space, fuel efficiency and comfort. Easy to manoeuvre around cities and roomy enough for longer drives, they're a reliable pick for most journeys.

  • Large: Offering a more comfortable ride and extra tech features, this Colmar car hire option includes full-size cars. With bigger back seats and ample storage space, they let you load up and transport everyone, and everything, with ease.

  • Van: If you're looking for a car for rent in Colmar big enough for a small crowd (and all their stuff), a van has space to spare. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're best suited for group excursions, business needs or moving.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the fee you'd have to pay if your Colmar car hire is stolen or damaged. While not mandatory, it can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Keep in mind that policies differ from one provider to another, so make sure you understand exactly what's offered.

  • Make life easier when you rent a car in Colmar by adding some handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to be your go-everywhere guide, or reverse cameras that upgrade your parking game.

Good to know

  • To rent a car in France, you typically have to be at least 21 years old. Some places may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for a higher fee, so always go over the policies before finalizing your ride.

  • Add a car seat to your Colmar car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Regulations change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest way to travel.

  • Relax after a day out and about in Mulhouse at Residhotel Mulhouse Centre. Or hang the 'do not disturb' sign on your door and rest at B&B Hotel Mulhouse Centre.

  • There's plenty of road left if you're up for more. Take off to Besançon, around 137 kilometres south-west of Colmar. From Fortifications Vauban to La Citadelle de Besancon, it's the perfect finale to your trip.
