Get your luggage, walk out of Montpellier Airport (MPL-Montpellier - Mediterranean), and collect your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Montpellier, around 4 miles from the terminal, go for something small and zippy. A compact car that’s fuel-efficient will suit those bustling city streets. But with so many things to see, like the scenic bays of the surrounding region, you may want to add some pit stops. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips more comfortable.
