It is known by it’s airport code of TUF, and as the Tours Val de Loire Airport, as it is located in the Loire Valley part of the country. The airport is partly located in the communes of Tours and Parcay-Meslay, and in the department of Indre-et-Loire. The city of Tours is also nearby to Orleans, Poitiers, Angers and Le Mans. To fully explore the region, a rented car from Hertz Tours Airport is recommended.

Tours Airport has one terminal building of only 1,500 square metres in size, from where all arrival and departure proceedings are handled. The airline carrier at the airport holding the majority of destinations is Ryanair, and many of the airport services, including the car rental companies, operate according to the scheduled times of Ryanair flights. The following hours can be used as a general guideline for Hertz: Monday – 14:30 to 15:00, Tuesday – 09:00 to 09:30, Friday – 14:30 to 15:00 and Saturday – 09:00 to 09:30.

Hertz one way one hires can be convenient as well, as they allow the car to be returned to a different location. At Tours Airport, one way hire services may be referred to by Hertz as the Hertz Rent-It-Here and Leave-It-There option, and they may be more expensive than an ordinary rental.

Although Tours Airport is not a very busy airport, passengers should reserve their hire car in advance. Sometimes additional items of equipment are needed as well, and these items, which may include child seats, satellite navigation systems and luggage racks, should be reserved early as well. These items are subject to availability. Child car seats are available in sizes that are suitable for infants or young children, and the age of your child should be specified when reserving a seat. For anyone travelling in France, a satellite navigation system is a wonderful device to have, but keep in mind that those able to detect speed-radar traps are now illegal, and fines could be issued should you be found with one. Another device hired from the Tours Airport car rental companies is hand controls for disabled drivers. Hertz hand controls are designed for persons with a lower limb disability, and from Tours Airport, hand controls are free of charge.

Once passengers have arrived at Tours Airport they can collect their luggage and head for the car hire companies. They are not in the terminal, but at the long stay car park. In order to hire a car from Hertz the primary renter will need to be at least 21 years of age, or even 25 years of age or older for certain categories, and will have to show a valid drivers license at the rental counters. A major credit card will also be required to pay for the rental. The Tours Airport car hire companies accept most licenses, provided that they are printed in a Roman alphabet and have been held by the person for at least a year prior to the rental date. Some drivers, depending on their country of residence, will need an International Driving Permit. This document should be carried with the local license at all times.

Although persons younger than 25 can hire a car, they will pay higher rental rates, for young drivers insurance. This is an amount usually charged per day of car hire, and per ‘underage’ driver listed on the rental agreement. Younger drivers will be permitted to rent from certain categories that usually contain smaller vehicles such as the Chevrolet Spark, Peugeot 107 and the Opel Corsa. Hertz is also one of the only car hire companies that hire vehicles by their specific make and model, and from Tours Airport, these could be eco-friendly vehicles like the VW Polo and Renault Megane Clio SW.
