car rental from Bayeux to Paris

We are flying to Paris in mid October and are thinking of taking the train to Bayeux when we arrive (afraid to navigate the roads with a car while overcoming jet lag).

When we arrive in Bayeux, we will be taking a tour, so won%26#39;t need a car just yet.

However, we%26#39;d like to rent a car for the drive back to Paris. Are there car rental agencies in Bayeaux that have one way rentals? Or will we have to go to Caen to rent a car --so would that mean take a taxi to Caen?

5 rental places shown, ADA, Bodin, Hertz, Lefebvre and SCAuto

So Hertz would likely be your choice, located at the train station.

I suggest you contact Autoeurope and let them broker a car rental for you. You%26#39;ll save time, they have toll free numbers in the event of problems, and their prices are more competitive that you%26#39;ll find elsewhere:

We rented through Hertz last spring, though we drove round trip from Paris to Normandy and back. Hertz has DOZENS of drop-off locations in and around Paris, so you can pick the one that is closest to where you are staying. We picked up at CDG, and then dropped off in the Marais. This worked well for us as we had Grandma and 2 kids and luggage for all of us. So we dropped Grandma and the kids and the luggage at the flat we had rented in the Marais, then my husband and I went and returned the car (the car return places tend to be LITERALLY holes-in-the-wall with a Hertz sign).

This website is like MapQuest in that it gives you turn by turn directions, and we found it to be SO INVALUABLE for getting us door-to-door.
