Consider a smaller vehicle when booking car hire in Le Mans. The streets in Le Mans and many of the surrounding cities and towns can be quite narrow and difficult to navigate with a larger vehicle. Additionally, a smaller vehicle that produces less emissions may be useful if you plan on driving into cities like Paris or Rouen that have Low Emission Zones in place. An electric vehicle can also be a great option in these cases.
