Car Hire in Calais Rail Station - Mini guide to Calais Rail Station

Calais Rail Station

Calais is well known for its port, as it is France’s closest mainland point to England, a mere 20 miles from Dover. A popular destination for Brits seeking lower tobacco and alcohol taxes, Calais is easily reached via the Channel Tunnel shuttle train or by ferry.

The Gare de Calais-Ville is the rail station located in the centre of town, while the other two stations (Les Fontinettes and Calais-Fréthun) are located in the southern part and outside the city, respectively. Gare de Calais-Ville serves the main regional lines in Nord-Pas de Calais, and is conveniently connected to Lille, Dunkirk, Boulogne and Paris.

Passengers arriving on the Venice Simplon Orient Express can ride a coach departing from the Eurotunnel Shuttle at the Calais International Terminal to Calais Rail Station in the town centre.

Most visitors choose to hire a car when visiting Calais, as there are several villages in the region that are worth a daytrip. We offer the best car hire rates on the market and our vehicles can be booked in minutes online.

For a taste of provincial France, rent a car at the Calais Rail Station and drive 26 miles to Saint Omer. This town is especially interesting on Saturday mornings, when the market flourishes in Place Foch, the main square of the town.
