We're heading over to Bordeaux next Easter for my sons wedding.

Any recommendations for car hire companies operating out of the airport?

Looking for -

Competitive pricing
Ease of finding the desk
Ease of car pickup / drop off.

Thanks in advance.

All the main ones are in the car park directly opposite the terminal, so no problem with pickup or drop off with Hertz, Enterprise, Sixt, Europcar etc. Been a long time since I was there, but there were others on the perimeter, so double check if you don't want to end up with one of them.

Id recommend Alamo or Sixt.

Hired there the last two summers to go to Cap Ferret. Used Alamo once and Sixt (iirc) last summer. Both in the car park as has been said and easy. The car park can be a bit chaotic with drop-off's and pick-up's, with people trying to avoid charges.

Not Bordeaux, but we used Budget at Nantes and it was one of the easiest car hire experiences I’ve ever had.

I used these guys last year in Toulouse, somewhat of a revelation. Got the car I ordered, was in the spot waiting and didn’t need to deal with any humans trying to flog me stuff, just access with the app and leave in a parking space later.

Their at the station in Bordeaux rather than the airport, but might be worth checking out
