Car Rental in Lons Center

Lons is a small town in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, located about 8 km north of Pau in southwestern France. With 1 car rental company in the center, it's a convenient option if you want to explore the Béarn region and the Pyrenees. Lons borders directly with Pau and shares an urban area with its larger neighbor – Pau Center with Château de Pau is reached in just a 10-minute drive south.

From here you have fantastic views of the Pyrenees on clear days. Combine Lons pickup with a drive along N134 south toward Somport Pass for spectacular mountain scenery. Book your car early during the Tour de France period if the race passes through the Pyrenees – demand increases significantly.

Can I drive up into the Pyrenees from Lons? Yes, Col du Somport is about 80 km south (about 1.5 hours via N134) and is a popular destination. Is it better to rent a car in Lons or at Pau Airport?
