Perpignan Guide

Car Hire

Any traveller to Perpignan finds it a little strange that the city resembles, not the rest of France, but rather Catalonia in Spain. For the most part, it should. Perpignan saw its golden age when it became part of the Catalan Kingdom of Majorca. Now, this city of about 100,000 people is one of the jewels of the southern France. Hiring a car is a great way to see the many parts of the city and the beautiful region surrounding it.

Who to Book With
Many of the car hire companies found in Perpignan are located mainly in, or close to, the city’s gateways: Gare de Perpignan (the railway station) and Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport. The car rental companies here include Avis, Europcar, Sixt, Hertz and local companies such as Car Go and UCAR. Before arriving, try to compare prices online to get the best deals.

Best Time to Go
As with the rest of southern France, Perpignan enjoys near perpetual pleasant Mediterranean weather, with summer highs of 29°C and winter lows of 4°C. Late spring or early summer is a great time to visit. During this time, temperatures begin to pick up and the possibility of rainfall is low.

Need to Know Essentials
When collecting your hired car, show the following to the car rental firm:

- A national driving permit (International for non-EU drivers)
- A form of ID with a picture
- The credit card of the renter
- Rental confirmation

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
From either France or Spain, the highway to take to reach Perpignan is the A9 autoroute, called La Languedocienne or La Catalane. Driving is a popular way to get around Perpignan, and there are many underground parking sites around the city. However, in high summer, traffic and parking may prove difficult at times as the town kicks in its peak tourist season. When visiting during this time of the year, it’s always best to plan ahead.

Our guide to driving in France has more information.

Many of the things to see and do in Perpignan are conveniently located within easy walking distance of each other. It is also possible to get around by car, although this can be a bit of a challenge when visiting in the high tourist season. Trains arrive frequently from Paris and Barcelona, and taxis can be hired from ranks or over the phone. Buses also ply routes around the city.

Trains
While there is no rapid transit or tram to provide transport within Perpignan, arriving from another destination by train is indeed possible. From Paris, a total of nine Trains à Grande Vitesse (TGVs) high-speed trains run to Gare de Perpignan. The journey takes about five hours and costs around €85. From Barcelona in Spain, there are three train services daily. This journey takes around three hours and costs approximately €35 for a direct train.

Exploring
