Toulouse—la “Ville Rose”—is a city of contrasts: medieval brick façades and grand 18th-century mansions stand alongside cutting-edge aerospace facilities, lively street markets give way to shaded canal-side promenades, and historic Occitan heritage meets modern university energy along the Garonne. To fully explore every quartier—from the winding lanes around Place du Capitole to the vine-clad hills of the Lauragais—a rental car is indispensable.
Cardamar Car Rental offers seamless booking and fast pickup right at Toulouse–Blagnac Airport (TLS) and convenient downtown locations near the Capitole. Our fleet ranges from nimble compacts perfect for navigating the narrow streets of Carmes to spacious SUVs ready for scenic drives through the rolling vineyards of Fronton or day-trips into the Cathar country. Every rental includes Collision Damage Waiver, Theft Protection, and third-party liability coverage of at least €10 million. Customize your journey with optional GPS navigation, child seats, additional drivers, and toll transponders for France’s autoroutes.
Essential Toulouse Itineraries:
- Capitole & Garonne Loop: Begin at Place du Capitole, drive along the Quai de Tounis, then park near the Pont Neuf for riverside views and a stroll through the Jardins des Plantes.
- Canal du Midi Cruise: Head south to join the Canal du Midi at Port Saint-Sauveur—pause at Castelnaudary for a cassoulet lunch, then explore the lock-houses and towpaths en route.
- Airbus & Space Tour: Drive east to the Airbus assembly lines and Aéroconstellation, then continue to the Cité de l’Espace for an afternoon among rockets and planetarium shows.
- Cathar Castle Excursion: Venture southwest on the A61 towards Carcassonne—visit the medieval cité—and wind through the Black Mountain foothills to the ruins of Lastours.
