Car rental in Béziers

Planning to navigate Béziers with a rental car? You're in luck. Most streets are spacious and well-maintained. However, it’s quite usual here to find one-way streets - a bit different from the UK's roundabouts.

Parking

Remember, in Béziers, cars are driven and parked on the right side. Public parking is available throughout the city, or if you prefer convenience, choose a hotel that provides guest parking.

Road Rules to Remember

Speed Limits

For those accustomed to motorways, pay attention! The speed limit in built-up areas is 50 km/h which is roughly 31 mph - slightly lower than the UK's 30 mph. On non-urban roads, you can go up to 80 km/h, about 50 mph.

Drink Driving

Remember, France has lower blood alcohol content rules than the UK. So, when in Béziers, it's best to skip that 'one for the road'.

Exploring Béziers and Beyond

Attractions: Old Town and Cathédrale Saint-Nazaire

The city charms with its old-world allure. Amble around the Old Town - yes, parking’s available - and eat your heart out in artisanal patisseries and quirky boutiques. Don’t miss the stunning Cathédrale Saint-Nazaire, and yes, its panoramic view of the city!

Beaches Galore

Did you know Béziers is just a short drive away from some of the most beautiful Mediterranean beaches? Remember, Cap d'Agde, Valras-Plage, and Serignan are less than an hour away by car.

When to Visit Béziers

Béziers is a joy to explore year-round, although the summer months promise the sun, sand, and sea. If you want to avoid the crowd, mid-April to June and September to mid-October are delightful.

Feria de Béziers

Experience the Feria de Béziers in August when the city breathes festive air filled with Flamenco and Sevillana rhythms. But remember, it can get pretty crowded during this period. So, booking your rental car in advance is a good move.
