Gard is known for its dunes, sandy shores, and gorges. It would be a shame not to hightail it out of the city to discover those picturesque vistas. If that sounds like something you’d be into, rent an SUV or a full-size vehicle. Even if you don’t intend to take the path less traveled, you won’t regret that extra space.

Sometimes it’s all about the journey, which makes your car choice important. If you’re about to embark on an amazing road trip around Gard, a roomy SUV could be the perfect solution. If you’d like the cheapest price possible and plan to stick to city driving, an economy car is a clever pick. All you need to do is work out what’s the best fit, throw your bags in the trunk, and hit the highway.

In Gard, you’ll need to stick to the right side. When visiting someplace new, it’s smart to select a vehicle with automatic transmission. That way, you can concentrate on the road and save worrying about gear changes.

There sure are. Generally, speed limits in Gard range between 50km/h and 130km/h. In residential areas, you’re usually not permitted to travel faster than 50km/h.

One of two things will happen. Your rental company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the most common approach. Alternatively, it may give your contact details to local authorities so the fine is sent straight to you.
