Montpellier is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region at the south of France. The cheapest and most convenient way to travel around Montpellier is through cheap car hire at the Montpellier Rail Station. Various car rental companies such as Argus, Carhire 3000, and Holiday Autos have reservation desks at the station.

Advanced booking online can spell the difference between frustration and easy travel. After alighting at the station you can already pick up your car hire at the Montpellier Rail Station. The average cost of a car rental will only take around £20, but taking taxis will burn a hole in your budget.

The A9 motorway has five exits that serve Montpellier, namely, Vendargues, Montpellier Sud, Montpellier Est, Montpellier Ouest, and Saint Jean de Vedas. The city centre is a very busy area, where one can get stuck in traffic. One can save a lot of money by parking at the Polygone Shopping Centre and proceeding on foot.

Using car hire is very convenient even if you do eventually take public transportation. Tram or streetcar stations have parking spaces where one can park vehicles and get back to them after getting off from the trams to various destinations that will be impossible to traverse to in a car.

Other city attractions include a zoo, an amazonic forest, and different shopping districts such as Centre-Ville and the Polygone Shopping Center near Place de la Comedie, the centre of the city. There is also a weekly flea market every Sunday and unique well-stocked bookstores—all easily accessible at your own pace and time using a car rental.
