Why hire a car at Toulouse airport?
If you want to explore southwest France's many treats by car, Toulouse is a great place to start. Both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines are within easy reach, as are historically significant cities such as Carcassonne and Lourdes, and for those who enjoy a natural high, the majestic Pyrenees are just a short drive away. Do all that in a taxi and you'll be bankrupt; it costs around €25 for the 15-minute trip from the airport into town.
That all-important first mile:
driving out of Toulouse airport?
The airport is a short drive from the D902 and D2, which lead towards the city's ring road. Here you can either make your way into central Toulouse or merge with the joyously quiet motorways that head out into the countryside. Remember to have a few euros in your back pocket for the region's toll roads.
Toulouse airport Q&A
Where are the car hire desks?
Car hire desks are located near the exit leading towards the car park and taxi rank.
What should I buy at duty free?
Take a bit of French country cooking back to Blighty - pick up some jars of cassoulet and confit of duck before boarding. You'll be glad of it when you arrive home to find nothing but a couple of old mushrooms and an out-of-date yogurt in your fridge.
Are there any cashpoints?
There are four cashpoints in the airport, located on the arrivals level in halls B and C, as well as the shopping area in the departures hall.
Where's the best place to eat?
Watch the planes coming in and setting off while enjoying one last taste of Toulouse in 8?me Ciel, which specialises in local dishes and has a front-row seat next to the runway. You'll know you've stayed too long when it's your flight you're watching take off!
The secret tip
If flying stresses you out head to La Croix du Sud, a lounge area designed with relaxation in mind. Sink into a comfy chair, grab a paper or check your emails while sipping a café au lait.
