About Renting a Car at Bergerac Train Station

Bergerac train station is a charming station building from the 1800s with 3 car rental providers, located 800 meters north of the town's old center by the Dordogne River. From here you drive to Bordeaux in approximately 90 km (1h 15min) or to Périgueux in 50 km (45 min). The station is a convenient starting point for exploring Périgord by car.

The station is located in northern Bergerac, near the river and the town's wine district. The Cyrano de Bergerac statue and the old town are a 10-minute walk to the south. Bergerac Wine Museum (Maison des Vins) is just 500 meters from the station and offers an introduction to the region's vineyards.

Choose one of the 3 rental providers based on whether you need one-way rental – not all offer it. Start your Dordogne journey early in the morning to avoid tourist traffic at popular attractions. Take D936 towards Bordeaux for a more scenic drive along the river instead of the motorway.

How close are the rental providers to Bergerac train station? All three providers are within 200 meters of the station exit, most with parking directly outside. Can I take the train to Bergerac and rent a car to explore the region?

Absolutely – it's a popular arrangement. Trains from Bordeaux take approximately 1h 30min and the rental providers at the station are open daily. What's the difference between renting at the station versus the airport?

The airport has 11 rental providers versus the station's 3, which offers more choices and often lower prices – but the station is more central.
