Car Hire in Rochefort Airport - Mini guide to Rochefort Airport

Rochefort Airport (RCO), known as L'Airport Rochefort-Saint-Agnant in French, is the main airport in the Rochefort area, in the Pointou-Chanrentes region of southwestern France. Just a short drive from the French Atlantic coast, exploring this region using car hire at Rochefort Airport is an easy option.

Rochefort Airport is a small regional airport and amenities are limited. It currently services only European budget carriers, such as Ryanair, easyJet, Jet 2 and Flybe; these use the airport on a charter basis. On a daily basis, the airport is used by the two flying clubs that are based here. Due to the seasonal operational nature of the airport, public transportation options are limited. For most visitors, cheap car hire at Rochefort Airport is probably the best possible transport option.

Although currently not utilised to its fullest, the airport does have big plans for its future. By 2012, it is expected that the airport will reach international airport status through runway and terminal expansion and is expecting all flights from La Rochelle-lle de Re Airport to be transferred here. This would elevate this airport to an important regional airport. Getting to and from nearby Saint-Agnant, the closest town to the airport, is best done with car rental at Rochefort Airport.

From Rochefort Airport, which is located roughly six kilometres from Rochefort, it is easy to explore the Atlantic coastal region. Driving down the D123 and then D26, visitors can access the island of d'Oleron. This is the largest island in France, after Corsica. The island is known for its natural beauty and the two main cities, Le Chateau-d'Oleron and Saint-Georges-d'Oleron, are great destinations. The island of d'Oleron is best explored using car hire at Rochefort Airport.
