Enterprise car hire locations - Perpignan

Perpignan is a historic and attractive city that lies less than 10 miles from the sea and has a population of around 117 000. There are two rivers that flow through it. The Basse runs through the centre and the Têt runs to the north. Perpignan is only 23.5 miles from the border with Spain, making it the ideal place to explore places in the area with a Spanish influence. The city itself has interesting alleyways, squares shaded by palm trees, and pastel-coloured buildings and, thanks to its proximity to Spain, is a great place to enjoy fiestas and events throughout the year. Enterprise has two branches in Perpignan, one in the city centre right by the train station and one at Perpignan Airport. This gives you flexibility and choice when looking for car rental in Perpignan.

Although relatively small and easy to find your way around, the airport is served by major airlines like Aer Lingus, Air France, Ryanair, and Flybe so travellers can fly in from international destinations and pick their hire car from Enterprise rent-a-car in the terminal building.

Attractions In Perpignan

The Palace of the Kings of Majorca is a really interesting historical site perched above the city and has a fresh ocean breeze keeping it cool in summer. You can walk there once you've parked your hire car in the centre and enjoy the marvellous panoramic views. If you like art, the Musee d'art Hyacinthe Rigaud offers wonderful exhibitions of artists like Picasso and has areas dedicated to other artists too. Stroll along the Rue Paratilla, a historic pedestrianised street full of characterful shops and restaurants. Then, maybe take some time out from driving by visiting the Parc Sant-Vicens, a pretty city centre park.

Parking And Traffic Information In Perpignan

Like most cities, Perpignan has pedestrianised areas and one-way streets, so driving in the city needs some planning. A sat nav may be helpful for your route! The city benefits from a ring road, with various routes coming off this for convenient access to different districts. As well as some street parking in the city centre, there are several public car parks you can use for your hire car. For example, park at the Centre del Mon or at Parking Saint-Martin, both of which are centrally located.
