Car rental
Landerneau is a perfectly walkable town and therefore it is not necessary to rent a car
if you only plan on staying a few days. You can also catch the train from Landerneau to many other towns in Brittany.
For those who would like to be more mobile, you may rent a car with a valid US driver’s license,
a passport and a credit card. Please be aware that 90% of rental cars in France are MANUAL transmission.
Be sure to verify when you reserve. Also, car rental in France is more expensive than in the USA
and does not always come with unlimited mileage. Be sure to check the fine print.
One-way rentals are usually available for an additional fee.
Car rental is available in both Landerneau and Brest.
Landerneau (for Option 1 travelers)
Landerneau has one car rental agency located in the town,

if you plan on exploring Landerneau on foot for a few days and then renting a car to go elsewhere.
