prish Posted February 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2017 We will be in Cherbourg this June and want to rent a car for the day. Understand Enterprise has an office in the ferry port, how far is this from the cruise terminal? Would we be better off picking up the vehicle at the DT location, which I believe is downtown or centre ville? I suppose we could take a taxi to the city office. Hope someone will be able to help me, thanks in advance:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW and I have rented cars in Cherbourg, but have always opted for whoever has the best deal....which usually means walking out of the port to a downtown office. Most of the major agencies have offices within a reasonable walking distance from the port. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, how far is the walk to the city office, 15-20 minutes or more? Thanks again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it longer then it looks, is the long route to get out of the port. Years ago we used to be able to cut out at least 1/4 of a mile by taking a short cut across an empty field (inside the large port) but they have since fenced-off that short cut. So now, you must use the side walks to get out of the port. But since you are dealing with Enterprise you might want to make an inquiry as to whether they would pick you up in the port. Maybe you will get lucky :). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, appreciate your tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
