Driving in Nantes: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need

You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Nantes.

Most visitors can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental firms also ask for matching ID and a credit card for the deposit.

Navigating city driving

Nantes has wide boulevards and a pedestrian-friendly centre.

Driving is simple on major roads, but central streets can be narrow with tram tracks. Navigation apps help you avoid pedestrian zones and guide you towards riverside routes and nearby suburbs.

Tolls, emissions zones and charges

Nantes has no local toll roads.

Some long-distance motorways in the region have tolls depending on your route. The city also operates occasional low-emission measures, though most rental cars meet the required standards.

Parking your car in Nantes

Parking is easier in car parks than on central streets.

Street spaces are limited near the old town. Multi-storey car parks near Commerce and the castle offer easy access to sights. Park-and-ride sites are simple options on the edge of the city.

Finding fuel or charging points

Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Nantes are increasing.

Petrol stations sit on major routes and near shopping areas. Charging points are growing across the city. Apps like PlugShare help you find available chargers.

Local driving style and tips

Drivers are patient, but tram routes need extra attention.

Trams pass through central streets, so approach crossings slowly. Traffic moves steadily, and cyclists are common near the river. Keep speeds low in pedestrian-heavy areas.
