A Compact car such as a Peugeot 308 costs about £41 a day at Bordeaux Airport in October 2026 and fits 5 people. It holds 3 bags, so filling every seat leaves someone with luggage on their lap. If you need 4 bags, an Intermediate car like a Nissan Qashqai costs £48 a day, while dropping to a 2-bag Economy Opel Corsa trims the rate to £37. Automatics take 62% of the fleet, though choosing one on an Intermediate car costs £6 more a day than shifting gears yourself. Electric and hybrid models make up 11% of cars offered, so finding a plug requires booking well ahead.
