Car Rental in Coquelles Center

Rent a car in Coquelles, the small municipality just southwest of Calais that is home to the French terminal of the Channel Tunnel. The location is strategically perfect for travelers arriving by Eurostar or Le Shuttle who want to explore northern France on their own. From here, you can reach Calais Center in just 5 km and the A16 motorway in minutes.

Coquelles is known for Cité Europe, one of northern France's largest shopping centers, located directly at the Eurotunnel terminal. Cap Blanc-Nez, with its dramatic chalk cliffs and views toward England, is just 20 km to the west along the coast. Pick up your rental car directly at the Eurotunnel terminal for a smooth transition from the train.

Drive south on A26 toward Arras and Reims if you're planning a longer France trip. Avoid rush hour on A16 toward Calais port in the morning when commuter traffic is heavy. How close is Coquelles to Calais Center?
