Location information for Tours

Introduction

Tours is the capital of the French Indre-et-Loire department. The city has a beautiful historical center (Vieux Tours) with well-preserved, partially wooden, houses, and a pleasant central square (Place Plumereau) with cafés and restaurants.

Population

Almost 150,000 people live in the city itself, but the population in the entire urban area of Tours and surroundings is twice as high.

Location

Tours is located in central France on the confluence of the Indre and the Loire. The latter discharges further west, near Nantes, into the Atlantic Ocean. Orléans lies northeast of Tours.

Economy

The city has the largest university of the Centre region, the Université Francois Rabelais. The university and the associated hospital are the city's largest employers. There's also a French air force base and tire manufacturer Michelin is based here. There's a modern business park in the Deux-Lions district where mainly high-tech companies and research institutes are located.

Airports

Aeroport Tours-Val de Loire is situated 6 kilometers northeast of the center. It's easily reachable by rental car via the Avenue de la Tranchée and Avenue André Maginot. The way to the airport is clearly signposted.

Public Transport

Tours has good public bus transport. The central bus station is located near the City Hall (Hôtel de Ville). A streetcar line is being constructed. It's expected that the first streetcars will be operational in 2013. High-speed trains (TGV) stop in Tours and connect the city with Paris, Bordeaux and Lyon.

Traffic and Parking

The center of Tours is partially a pedestrian area and it may be difficult to find a parking place in the street. There are several underground parking garages to park your rental car: underneath Place de la Gare, underneath Place des Halles (ideal for a visit to the historical center) and underneath Place Anatole-France (for shopping in the Rue Nationale). Thanks to the beltway around Tours, it's easy to get from one part of the city to another.

Hotels

Tours has a good choice of accommodations ranging from business hotels to cozy family hotels. There are also many bed & breakfasts, called chambres d'hôtes in France. In general, you don't need to book your room in advance, unless you want to stay at a specific hotel.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
