Car Hire Poitiers-Biard Airport - Mini guide to Poitiers-Biard Airport

Poitiers-Biard International Airport is a convenient and modern gateway to the charming Poitou-Charentes region of western France. The airport opened a new air terminal in January 2002 with new facilities aimed at giving passengers more comfortable reception conditions and better service.

A single terminal building caters for all domestic and international flights. You will find an ATM machine at the terminal, and limited business facilities are available at the VIP lounge (fax: +33 (0) 5 49 58 81 72 for information and reservations).

On the first floor of the historic la Rotonde terminal building is the l'Orée du Ciel bar-restaurant, where you can feast on a delicious meal while enjoying a panoramic view of the runways. The new terminal also has an excellent café/bar which serves light meals and refreshments. There are a few stores selling local handicrafts, gifts and produce.

Those who require special assistance or wheelchairs should notify their airlines when booking their flight. Specially fitted toilets and ramps are located across the airport. Designated parking areas are available in the car park opposite the terminal. An airport information desk is located in the terminal building near the departure gate.

Poitiers-Biard International Airport lies just near Poitiers centre, on the west side of the town, and is easily accessed by both private and public transportation. By road you can reach the airport as easily from the north as from south by the A10 motorway, exiting in Poitiers.

Buses depart from the main road, requiring passengers to cross the car park. There are regular services into the centre of the city; ask the information desk for current timetables. Taxis are available from outside the terminal building and run to central Poitiers and other nearby locations.

There is one large car park which offers short-term and long-term parking located directly opposite the terminal building. There is a pick-up and drop-off area right outside the terminal entrance, and assistance is available for the mobility impaired.
