Our focus on Carcassonne Airport
Carcassonne Airport is a small but busy regional airport serving southern France, with rental desks from major providers such as Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Enterprise, and others located close to the terminal.
Most car rental pick-ups are located just a short walk from the arrivals area, making it easy to collect a vehicle and start your journey within minutes of landing.
The airport is approximately 5 km from Carcassonne city centre, providing quick access to the medieval Cité, Canal du Midi, and surrounding countryside.
Helping you explore southern France
Car hire is often the most practical way to explore the Aude region, where public transport between villages, vineyards, and coastal areas can be limited.
With a rental car, visitors can easily reach destinations such as:
- Carcassonne medieval city (Cité de Carcassonne)
- Canal du Midi and surrounding towpaths
- Narbonne and Mediterranean beaches
- Cathar villages such as Minerve and Lagrasse
- Mountain routes towards the Pyrenees
