About Renting a Car at Béziers Center

Béziers is a historic city in Hérault in the Mediterranean region of Occitanie, with 6 rental companies in the center and an excellent location for excursions along the Canal du Midi and the Languedoc coast. The city is located 60 km west of Montpellier and 80 km east of Narbonne. From here you can reach the beaches at Valras-Plage in just 15 km.

Béziers is dominated by the impressive Cathedral of Saint-Nazaire on a cliff above the Orb River, with panoramic views of the Canal du Midi and the vineyards. The city is known for its bullfights and the spectacular Feria de Béziers every August. The Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, runs just outside the city's edges.

Rent a bike trailer or large estate car if you plan to cycle along the Canal du Midi – bike-friendly parking is available at the locks. Visit Cap d'Agde (25 km east) and Gruissan (40 km west) for Mediterranean experiences along the coast. Avoid renting a car during the Feria in August – traffic in the center is chaotic and parking is limited.
