Question 1

What are the major attractions in Laval?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Laval is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Not far from the heart of the city, Cathedral of the Holy Trinity is one sight you might like to add to your must-see list. If you still have room on your itinerary, Le Jardin de la Perrine and Lactopole Museum will keep you on the go too.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Laval?

Accepted Answer

If you're in the mood for a day trip, pack some snacks and make your way to Asnieres sur Vegre. Situated 30 miles away, it has loads to keep you busy. You could also discover the sights and sounds of La Fleche. It's located 40 miles from Laval and has some awesome things on offer.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Laval?

Accepted Answer

Laval has so much to offer. You could stay a week or two in this place and barely scratch the surface. If you want to experience as much as you can in this buzzing metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Keep in mind that driving in big cities usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and limited parking spots. But don't stress — an economy or a compact car can make this much easier to navigate. If you can't wait to skip town and enjoy some of the cliffs that Laval is known for, you'll probably prefer a vehicle with more power and room to move. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Laval?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to know that there's an impressive variety of both luxury and economy rental vehicles available in Laval. What you end up going for is largely dependent on how much you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splurging, why not go for an elite SUV, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you just need a set of wheels to get you around town as efficiently as possible, we can help you out with a budget compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
