About Renting a Car at Orange Center

Orange is a historic city featuring one of Europe's best-preserved Roman theaters, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With four rental companies in the city center, you have excellent options when exploring the region. From here, you can reach Avignon 30 km to the south and Châteauneuf-du-Pape in just 15 minutes.

Orange's city center is dominated by the impressive Théâtre Antique and Arc de Triomphe, both dating from the 2nd century AD. The city is surrounded by Côtes du Rhône vineyards and sits in the heart of Provence's wine country. Highway A7 passes directly by, providing quick connections to Marseille (approximately 120 km, 1 hour 15 minutes).
